The origins of Rhythmic Top 40 can be traced back to the 1980s when several Urban contemporary outlets began adding artists from outside the format onto their playlist. But it wasn't until January 11, 1986 that KPWR Los Angeles, a former struggling Adult Contemporary outlet, began to make its mark with this genre by adopting this approach. It would be known as Crossover because of the musical mix and the avoidance of Rock at the time. Billboard Magazine took notice of this new format and on February 15, 1987, it launched the first Crossover chart. But by December 1990 Billboard eliminated the chart because more Top 40 and R&B stations were becoming identical with the Rhythmic-heavy playlist that were also being played at the Crossover stations at the time. Billboard would later revive the chart again in October 1992 as the Top 40 Rhythm/Crossover chart.
