WBLS in New York City, which is the flagship station of the urban contemporary format, was one of the first stations to introduce the urban AC format in 1994.

Many Urban AC stations rely heavily on syndicated programming such as the Tina Turner, Wendy Williams Steve Harvey Morning Show, Keith Sweat Donnie Simpson and The Michael Baisden Show.

The format was designed by Barry Mayo when he, Lee S. Simonson and Bill Pearson organized Broadcast Partners in 1988.
The album's lead single, "Share My Love", was released on February 1 and became a number-one hit on urban adult radio.
