	Ed: According to Joel Whitburn in his Top Pop Singles 1955-1999 book, there were three promo CD singles issued for Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody". The catalog numbers for these discs are Atlantic 8567, 8658, and 8603.

	Ed: Make sure you're looking in Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-1999 book and not Pop Singles Annual. He lists the promo CD information for "Are You That Somebody?" in the right hand column and also mentions additional promo CD info in the accompanying comments. If you still don't see it, let me know and I'll scan the page from the book and e-mail it to you.

	I used to play the version called "Edit" on one of the promo singles, which started off with just music (no Timbaland), and then Aaliyah singing the first verse. I believe this was the version that most top 40 stations played.

	Revisiting an old one, Aaron do you have a run time for the 'Edit' version?

	Thanks, Aaron! I actually saw a video of the edit online a couple months ago and it ran 4:10 too. Don't ask me where I saw it because I don't remember, lol.

	I do not own a promo CD single for this, but my friend Tom does own one. His, however, is a different stock # that Ed has just provided for his (Tom's is PRCD-8658). Tom's inventory note states that his promo CD single also contains two versions, but they are denoted differently than Ed's (Tom's states "Edit" and "LP" versions.) I will ask Tom for more PRCD-8658 specifics the next time I speak with him.
