They need to ditch this and push "Heartless".

They need to ditch this and push "Heartless". Yeah that's what I was thinkin too...only thing is Heartless was just a big hit on CHR, and don't think a song and its remake have ever been a pop hits in the same year (or even within the same five years) Heartless is doin well on Alternative, but they couldn't play Kanye's version so it's almost like the song is brand new over there

^It would be doing nothing if it weren't for the original. Yeah they never played the Kanye version, but it's still being played because it's a novelty. It's the same thing that happened earlier in the year with Framing Hanley's version of "Lollipop."

Naw sorry...meant that original and remake prob. aren't gonna be played on the same format (both on CHR, both on Alternative, etc.) in the same year/couple years - not that pop couldn't play the Kanye version and Alt. couldn't play the Fray version etc.

I sort of agree that "Heartless" might not perform as well on Pop since the original came so recently, but it's partially wishful thinking on my part (i.e., turning on my radio at a given moment and having a better chance of hearing "Heartless" than "Never Say Never".)

Is it just me or does this song/video remind anyone else of "Hands" by Jewel?

That's the only example I can think of where the remake and the original charted so close to one another.

I wish this were coming out in the fall. I've always thought it has tons of radio potential, but summer could be a bad time for this type of song.

I just hope this beats out "The Song Blows" from AAR and I'll be happy.

That's the only example I can think of where the remake and the original charted so close to one another. Neither of those were originals, they were both covers. The original was done by country artist Mark Wills. Wills used it as an album track on his 2003 album, And the Crowd Goes Wild. His version charted on the digital songs chart after the Flatts' version blew up on radio. People couldn't find their rendition so they bought Wills' original. Pop singer Jo O'Meara (from S Club 7) covered it in 2005 and it charted in the UK. Rascal Flatts brought it back to country in 2006 as the lead single from Me & My Gang in 2006. And then Cascada covered it in 2007.
