Top 40 (CHR) stations, USA (early 1990s)

*Sample of POWER PLAYLISTS (c)Billboard Magazine

The first time I know the international AM and FM stations (outside of IndONEsia), especially stations in Northern America, is from Billboard Magazine, circa 1992.

Billboard's POWER AIRPLAY is one of my favorite articles beside "Vox Jox", "newslines..", "Networks and Syndication" and "Billboard's PD of the Week." POWER AIRPLAY is the sample of current playlist/music chart of the largest and the most influential Top 40 (CHR) stations
across the U.S., there are also sample playlists from the Country music stations (Hot Country Playlists) and from Urban stations (Hot R&B Playlists).

*U.S. CHR station stickers (early '90s)

Currently I've some bumper stickers of U.S. top 40 (CHR, Contemporary Hit Radio) stations--designed, released in the early '90s--where their logo was displayed on the POWER PLAY each week such as 102.7 KIIS FM Los Angeles, Z100 New York, Kiss 108 Boston, B96 Chicago, Q102 Philadelphia, 97.1 KEGL The Eagle Dallas, Star 94 Atlanta, Power 106 Los Angeles, Q106 San Diego, 95.5 WPLJ New York, Z101.5 KPLZ Seattle, Power 93 Tampa, KMEL JAMS 106 FM San Francisco, WAVA 105 FM Washington, DC, Kiss 95.7 Hartford, Power 108 Cleveland, Power 95 Dallas, Mix 96.5 Houston, 101.3 KDWB Minneapolis-St. Paul, 99.5 WZPL Indianapolis, KUBE 93 Seattle, 104 KRBE Houston, 99.5 The FOX Detroit, Q105 Tampa, and Q102 Cincinnati.

I am still looking for bumperstickers of other stations on the POWER PLAYLIST such as Hot 97 New York, Hot 94.7 Chicago, 96.3 FM WHYT Detroit, Mix 107.3 and 95.5 WPGC Washington, DC, Eagle 106 Philadelphia, Power 99 Atlanta, Y100 and Power 96 Miami, 94.5 WZOU Boston, 92 Pro FM Providence, Kiss 98.7 New York, WEDR 99 JAMZ Miami, WYLD FM98 New Orleans, 107.5 WBLS New York, FM98 WJLB Detroit, FM92 The Beat Los Angeles, etc.
