The version on 2004 Grammy Nominees, currently labeled as "neither," is most likely the "Hook In Front (Full 3rd Verse)" version. This appears on my Promo Only CD and also TM Century's library. This is the version my old top 40 station always played. It has the Justin Timberlake chorus before the first verse.

I, too, strongly suspect that the version of Black Eyed Peas' "Where Is the Love" on the 2004 Grammy Nominees CD is the "Hook in Front (Full 3rd Verse)" radio version. In fact, I compared it to the track on the Promo Only - Mainstream Radio CD and the two are identical (except for the Promo Only disc cutting off about a half-second of the opening hi-hat cymbal sweep).
I don't have the following promo CD single release, but according to the Discogs website, it contains the following track listing and printed run times:
(Interscope INTR-10978-2)
1) Hook in Front (Full 3rd Verse) - 4:05
2) Hook in Front (Half 3rd Verse) - 3:42
(*Note: This disc was issued as a CD-R; however, it appears to be a legitimate record label release.)
In the years since this thread was started, perhaps you, Aaron, or another forum member has acquired this promo disc who can pass along the actual run times? Once we have them, this promo CD info should be incorporated into the database.
Also, I notice that the database currently shows "LP version" comments next to a couple of the song's CD appearances. Was "Where Is the Love?" ever officially issued on a commercial single format in the U.S.? I don't see any listed on Discogs, nor do I ever recall running across one. Assuming no one provides evidence to the contrary, would everyone agree that the "LP version" comments should be removed in this instance?

Is this a case where there was a digital single released that differed from the LP version?

A digital file from 7Digital (thanks, Brian W.) has the full LP version, so I've removed the "LP version" designation in the database. It appears the digital single and LP are the same.

Thanks for confirming! It's nice to know that we have a longtime forum member here like Brian W. who has purchased and meticulously documented numerous 2-track digital single download releases over the past couple of decades. Given how record labels have a tendency to sometimes delete a digital single title once the song is made available on a new album release, thus leaving no history of the digital single download ever having been issued in the first place, this makes Brian's digital single collection even more valuable!
