HOT A/C * MODERN A/C * LITE A/C

SBMP specializes in promoting both independent and major label acts to A/C Radio. We target the FMQB charts and have a very
high success rate of charting our clients. SBMP only accepts projects that we feel has charting potential and have rarely not gotten
a record charted.

General overview of the A/C market:

  • Demographics: Females 18-34 (but sometimes 18-54)

  • See who's on the FMQB A/C charts right now!

  • A/C singles do not have to be a "Lite" record like "Celine Dion". Charts are eclectic and have artists in the Modern
    A/C, Hot A/C and Lite A/C genres. SBMP frequently promotes A/C singles that lean toward Alternative, Top 40,
    Urban AAA/Singer Songwriter or Smooth Jazz. While not every record will fit the format, the genre is diverse.

  • If you have a question about whether your record fits, send it to us and we will let you know.

Trade Magazines:

The following trade magazines compile weekly radio playlists from a panel of radio stations, in order to come up with
a radio chart.

  • The Friday Morning Quarter Back (FMQB)
    • www.FMQB.com
    • Includes Secondary Markets in their radio panel
    • A/C chart (ACQB) includes Modern, Hot and Lite A/C stations on one chart.
    • More attainable for independent artists

    FMQB chart.
  • A/C projects must have a single. Albums are not sent to stations for airplay. (SBMP can help you chose
    a single.)
  • Once a project is submitted, you will receive a written proposal outlining ALL costs associated with
    promoting a record to A/C radio.*
