context_page_description: Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music genre. In 1993, 13 songs topped the chart, then published under the title Hot Adult Contemporary. The chart was compiled based on playlists submitted by radio stations through the issue of Billboard dated July 10, after which a new methodology was introduced which used airplay data compiled by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, which provided a more accurate reflection of the spins which songs were actually receiving.
  At the start of the year, Whitney Houston was at number one with "I Will Always Love You", from the soundtrack of the film The Bodyguard, in which she starred. In the issue of Billboard dated January 23, the track was displaced from the top spot by another song from a film soundtrack, as "A Whole New World" by Peabo Bryson featuring Regina Belle, from the animated film Aladdin, reached number one. Both songs also topped the magazine's all-genre chart, the Hot 100. Houston returned to the top of the chart with another song from The Bodyguard in May, spending two weeks at number one "I Have Nothing".
