As usual there are some edits on the new Now 40 cd and I would like to seek help in explaining the dj cd singles on which the following edits originated:
3:58 edit of "Cheers" by Rihanna 4:05 edit of "You And I" by Lady Gaga |

| Both of these edits were on the Promo Only samplers we receive. |

"Cheers" by Rihanna was the album version faded early, not
edited, from what I can tell. It was, of course, censored. My question is: was "Moves Like Jagger" censored? ------------- |

The word "sh-t" in the 1st verse was ducked. |

I was able to get the uncensored (i.e. commercial download) version from the German commercial CD single, the only source for the single version in lossless format, to my knowledge. I did do spectral analysis and verified that it is indeed lossless. (Something not true of Britney Spears's "Gimme More" -- both the import CD single and the US promo CD single, as well as my old MusicGiants download were taken from MP3s!) |

| "It Girl" by Jason DeRulo is the censored version that I've heard on the radio. |

| Can anyone who has picked up a copy the Now 40 CD please provide a list of the Top 40 songs that appear to have come from mp3 sources? The Now series used to be a go-to source for me to get a lot of radio edits/versions of current Top 40 hits, but I've been shying away from the series as of late given this recent disturbing trend of songs being mastered from mp3s. |

I just checked NTWICM 40 in Audition 3's spectral view, and
I can confirm that no tracks are from mp3s. Can you cite which volumes allegedly have tracks from mp3? If I have them, I can check them out. ------------- |

| There's an excellent in-depth discussion on the http://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5619&KW=mp3+sources - Lossy sources on big 2009 hits thread regarding some of these offending CDs. It documents numerous examples of "lossy" tracks on the Now 31 and Now 32 discs in particular. |

It could be that they decided to stop the practice. ------------- |
