Hot AC was the first mainstream U.S. format to play James Blunt and Daniel Powter, and it seems like this trend will continue for a while, with Hot AC and even AC playing new hits months before they show up on CHR/Pop stations. So, I'm just wondering if any Hot AC stations have taken advantage of this in their on-air imaging. CHR stations have always laid claim to the slogan "Today's Hit Music", so Hot AC stations could put a twist on that by using the slogan "Tomorrow's Hit Music".
It just seems rather ironic that the traditional trend of CHR, Hot AC, and AC stations being the quickest to the slowest, respectively, to play new hits has been completely reversed. For example, a handful of CHR/Pop stations have just began to play Michael Bublé's "Home". Gee... wasn't that song huge on AC radio LAST YEAR!? (In fact, it's so old that Mediabase now lists it as a "recurrent" on the AC chart.)

It's a common mistake to not use punctuation in its proper form.
