To date, database CDs containing Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" have run times of either 5:19 or 4:19, but there are currently no comments accounting for this significant timing difference. I'm pretty sure the discrepancy isn't the result of a typo and that the shorter 4:19 version is a radio edit. So does anyone have a promo CD single or an official radio station download who can verify this?

The 4:21 version is the radio edit according to this US promo single:

Just as an aside, there was a stand-alone single released for Edge of Glory domestically. The four one-track singles released from that album in the US (all apparently the album versions) were:
Born This Way - 4:20
Edge of Glory - 5:19
Judas - 4:08
Hair - 5:08
The procedure these days seems to be: release three to four one-track singles in advance of the album, then pull them all when the album comes out, and any subsequent singles generally do not get a separate single release, unless they're a remix.

Very helpful info, Brian. I commend you for everything you've done up to stay on top of digital single releases in recent years because their existence would otherwise be extremely difficult to go back and document given the record labels' tendency to delete stand-alone digital single releases over time.
