Yeah, I think what keeps AT40 sounding fresh these days is the fact that they DON'T do much editing to songs, whether they're rap or rock. If hip-hop is the direction CHR radio is leaning in at the moment, then so be it. AT40 is there to count down what's hot on pop radio at the moment, whether it's extreme or bland.
