Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated AC, is a type of
radio format that plays mainstream contemporary
popular music, excluding
hip hop,
hard rock, some
teen pop music, and rhythmic
dance tracks, which is intended for a mature adult audience, especially for people who are 16 and older. Radio stations playing this format will often target 25-54 year old people, the group most valued by advertisers. AC is generally divided into 4 groups; "Hot AC", also known as "
Adult Top 40", "Soft AC", also known as "Lite", and "Urban AC", also known as "Urban Contemporary", and "Religious AC". Some
radio stations play only Hot AC; some play only Soft AC, and some play both. Thus it is not usually considered a specific genre of music, since it is merely an assembly of selected tracks of musicians of many different genres.

Adult Contemporary (AC) bezeichnet ein bestimmtes, weit verbreitetes
Radioformat, bei dem ausschließlich
Mainstream und
Popmusik gespielt wird, die möglichst genau dem aktuellen Zeitgeschmack entspricht (daher contemporary), ohne allzu spezielle, auf Jugendliche ausgerichtete Strömungen (z. B. aus den Genres
Hip-Hop oder
Independent) zu integrieren (daher adult). Angesprochen werden sollen Hörer zwischen 25 und 50 Jahren. In der Praxis gibt es sehr unterschiedliche Ausprägungen.
