does anyone know which version of the song 'run it!' by
chris brown got the most airplay?.....the 3:14 'main
version' without juelz santana or the 3:52 'remix'
featuring juelz santana?......any direction would be
welcomed....for what it's worth, the 12" commercial release
issued as jive 71831 has the remix version as the lead
track....

So does the US commercial 3-track CD single. It has the
remix, Main Version, and Instrumental.

Also, the only version of the song that ever hit the top
ten on iTunes was the remix version, which was available
as a one-track stand-alone single. So the remix was the
"hit" version, in my opinion.

But I think that's because the
Juelz Santana remix version was the only version commercially
available digitally when the song was a current. So consumers didn't
have an option to purchase anything else. The main version was a
radio edit and wasn't commercially available digitally until it was
released on one of the Now CDs. And probably then only as part of the
whole album since iTunes doesn't usually let you buy Now tracks
piecemeal.

I only heard the main version on the radio and I'd be surprised to learn
that the Juelz Santana remix was ever played on the radio since it has
an f bomb in it and there is no official clean version of that remix, as far
as I know. I don't believe the Chris Brown self titled cd, which contains
the Juelz Santana remix, was ever issued in a censored version.

So I guess the question is how do you define a hit in the 21st century?
Is it what was available for purchase or is it what was played on the
radio?

Also just for the record, the Juelz Santana remix is what's on the Chris
Brown cd, as well as the iTunes single. There was also a longer remix
featuring Bow Wow that was also on that Chris Brown cd, but I don't
think that one could ever be described as the hit version.
