Movin' (album)

Movin' is the second album by American singer Jennifer Rush.

Overview

Originally released in Germany in late 1985, just as Rush was experiencing worldwide success with "The Power of Love" from her previous album, Movin' became an instant hit there. The album reached No.1 for 14 weeks and went on to be the biggest selling album of 1986. Despite high sales for her previous album, Rush found it harder to follow up in the UK, where the album (released in 1986) only managed to reach No.32, mainly due to the lack of a hit single. The international first release was "Destiny", which charted highly in many countries, but only scraped the bottom of the top 100 in the UK. A second single "If You're Ever Gonna Lose My Love" also sold well in Europe. Other notable tracks included a decidedly electronic working of the Stevie Wonder song "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday", and "Ave Maria" (an original track), which was released as a single much later in 1991.

US success still eluded Rush and so after this album she decided to relocate from Germany in order to secure a wider fanbase for her next album.

Album

Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 ¹⁄₃ rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.

An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Movin' (brand)

"Movin'" (capitalized as "MOViN'") is a brand name used for a variety of rhythmic AC and top 40 radio stations in numerous broadcast markets in the United States. The name is a registered trademark of Alan Burns & Associates, a radio consultancy firm based in Perdido Key, Florida.

Format background

This format started in the city of Seattle when Hot AC outlet KLSY (Mix 92.5) became KQMV MOViN 92.5 on May 1, 2006 as it was the first station of its kind.

"MOViN" stations mainly play an upbeat and mostly Dance-leaning Rhythmic Adult Contemporary format and uses the same logo, which features a colorful hue of green circles (except for Norfolk, whose hues are brown and dark orange). Although the stations are consulted by Burns, some have carved their own niche and identity.

In most of the markets where the "MOViN'" stations are located, a series of television commercials will feature women (and a couple of guys) shaking their behinds to a montage of Rhythmic hits, and in the case of KMVN/Los Angeles, a customized version has morning host Rick Dees dancing.

KMVQ-FM

KMVQ-FM (99.7 FM), under the brand as 99-7 Now, is a broadcast radio station in San Francisco, California in the United States. The station broadcasts a Top 40 (CHR) format. The station transmits its signal from San Bruno Mountains, while studios are located in downtown San Francisco.

KMVQ broadcasts in the HD Radio format.

History

The 99.7 FM was originally owned by NBC, with sister station KNBR. The station signed on the air on October 12, 1949 as KNBC-FM. At various times, they aired a middle of the road format as KNBR-FM and an all-news format as KNAI-FM.

KYUU

In 1978, NBC decided to take advantage of the newfound success of FM radio, and they hired programmers to create a new format, similar to Top 40 but targeting a market they felt was underserved, adults in the 25-34 age range. Years later, this approach would be labeled Hot adult contemporary by the radio industry. The station became KYUU.
