Adult Alternative

An eclectic mix of adult album tracks from the 90s, 00s and today.

The adult alternative radio format has been around in some form since the late sixties. In the seventies, album oriented rock, or AOR established itself on FM radio. The format evolved and in the nineties became adult album alternative, triple a or simply AAA. AAA focuses on eclectic tracks from folk, alt rock, modern rock, and even americana flavored artists. Non-single album tracks are a staple at the format, allowing for more variety in playlists and a more exciting listening experience.

Triple a radio often embraces buzz tracks from upcoming and emerging artists new to the music scene. AAA is often the type of music you may hear at a coffeehouse or a cafe, as it is generally is associated with having a cool vibe. As the 2010's progress, more triple a artists and tracks have crossed over to the mainstream top 40 charts. AAA has injected a fresh sound into pop radio.
