Adult Alternative

Adult album alternative (also referred to as triple-A, AAA, or adult alternative) is a radio format broadcast mostly on FM.

Triple-A songs sometimes do manage to chart on the Adult Top 40, modern rock, or an adult contemporary chart, since they may be the first to play a first breakout on AAA.
