Found this article online. Short, but I think it's worth posting to give our boys some recognition:

The Top 40 Adult Pop Songs
by Gary Trust | March 16, 2011 4:30 EDT
Fifteen years ago this week - in the March 16, 1996 issue - Billboard premiered the 40-position Nielsen BDS-based Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart. To celebrate, our expert charts staff has compiled a new list of the chart's top 40 hottest hits over its history. Scroll to the bottom of this page to read exactly how the Top 40 Adult Pop Songs (1996-2011) tally was tabulated.
While Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's ballad "One Sweet Day" led the inaugural list back in 1996, before long the weekly chart would routinely boast No. 1s from such eventual alternative-leaning format mainstays as Matchbox Twenty and Nickelback. Today, uptempo dance/pop from Katy Perry and P!nk has become as much a part of the format's core texture.
The Adult Pop Songs chart "shows the variety of music that appeals to adults," says Pete Cosenza, Columbia Records senior VP/promotion, adult formats. "You can see how so many of the format's hit songs and artists are a big part of pop culture."
From smashes featured on "Grey's Anatomy" to "American Idol," to some of the best-selling downloads of the digital era, this list captures the top 40 titles from the Adult Pop Songs chart's first decade-and-a-half.
Count down from No. 40 to No. 1, as we recap the format's biggest songs so far. And, to quote the cut that places at No. 19, "Sing along with every song" you know.

YOU AND ME
Lifehouse
2005
What better way to wrap the countdown than with a romantic waltz of a love song? Lifehouse earns the top spot on Billboard's retrospective of the Adult Pop Songs chart's first 15 years with this ballad that led the list for nine weeks beginning in July 2005. Following the No. 2 "Halfway Gone" and No. 6 "All In," the band is charting a third single from "Smoke & Mirrors," "Falling In," which this week jumps 36-30.
also charting was HBAM at #6
Congrats Lifehouse!
