I don't understand, maybe someone can explain it to me, but what is the point of releasing the same song so far apart on the different formats? Wouldn't you want them to peak at the same time, giving the biggest radio impact, and probably digital sales as well, at once?

As far as I'm concerned, its simply milking a track that has huge radio potential. Most of the time, the song is released as a single for a specific format and the label expects it not to have any sort of crossover impact to other formats. When the song catches fire with certain demographics and callout is revealed, the label changes its plan and releases the track on other formats to achieve the most diverse audience possible and to maximize sales.
Sometimes a single will catch fire on other formats without the labels help, and most of the time the label will go ahead and promote it on the other formats anyway. Very rarely will the label hinder its progress, but its happened a few times with certain tracks and artists (particularly potential Country crossovers).

I first listened to this a few weeks ago and it was just alright, but I downloaded it yesterday and I'm really liking it. The chorus is so catchy. He might actually end up with a decent pop hit with this one.

Get it Drake! Maybe he can get a second top 10 from this album. I don't understand why the record company didn't include I'm On One on this release since he makes the song.
