Latest single from WizKid called "Essence", which features Tems. A new version of the song featuring Justin Bieber came out on August 13, going for adds upon its release.

oh good! cuz I was talking to myself wondering in rhythmic thread what's happening. As I said the radio version (3:35) is already up on allaccess, full version is 4:23 long
I guess there will be change on mediabase soon to include Justin's name, a fan said they heard the remix on rhythmic radio

I've seen the original in chr spincrease for like a month but it couldn't make top 50. I'm sure that's one of the reasons Justin is on the remix

Just checked, it's not under top 40 Cool New Music or future releases. Is it for sure going for adds this week?
Unlike most remixes, it doesn't say "remix" anywhere not on cover art or in title, it seems they are going to make this the main version? Spotify playlists like Hot Rhythmic and Are & Be have switched to remix
The song has lots of potential I feel the callouts will be good. Fall is coming and it's time for slower tempo songs. But song is almost 4 and half mins it's hard to do well in streaming

Juan Carlos I see some adds for the og on hitsdaily but they must be for the remix. Like I said the og has been unable to enter top 50 for a month this sudden interest must be for the remix. A change shouldn't be made on mediabase if the remix drops close to song peaking on radio. But this is similar situation as despacito it's starting from the bottom, they need to credit Justin it's obvious why he's on the song. For despacito Republic? made a change right away but since it's RCA of course it's going to be messy. But this is worse, how could the add board show the wrong version being added? Has this ever happen before? I don't get what's happening Stations have started playing the remix but displaying the og. Justin stay away from RCA next time!

That's cool this song is having a big push and it's taking off well at Pop. It's a really great summer song, I love its laidback vibe.

For despacito Republic? made a change right away but since it's RCA of course it's going to be messy. I don't think it's entirely true that this is starting from the bottom as "Despacito" at Pop. Even, that song didn't fit with this criteria at all because it received (minimal) airplay on its original version before the new one with Justin Bieber was pushed in this format. As I mentioned before, the change of the credits depends on the label, not Mediabase, so RCA needs to request them to update this and, in case it does, it will be seen on all the radio formats, independently which one is the main at each format, not only at Pop. Republic did that with "Despacito" as you said, so let's see if RCA does the same for "Essence" as well. But this is worse, how could the add board show the wrong version being added? Has this ever happen before? I don't get what's happening The add board isn't wrong because of what I said earlier. Mediabase doesn't differenciate which version of the song is being played the most on each format and which is the one to be pushed, so the credits of "Essence" will be seen on its original version at Pop unless there's a request of the label to change them and they're going to appear like that on all the radio formats.

lol you thought Justin or any artist could just "hop in", Wizkid's team asked him to be on it. Why put Justin on the remix if they only want the original played? Justin's on it because he's strong on pop radio. Also the original has only charted in the UK (peak 30s), US (peak 40s) and New Zealand (#23) so only 3 countries (from wiki). There are still many countries Essence has not charted at all so obviously Justin is to help push it. Juan Carlos I see, thank you for explaining. So if RCA never makes the change on mediabase, Justin still gets credited for the remix spins for Hot 100 right? I remember the billboard article about Bad Guy remix, Billboard was aware of the remix spins that week and they did count them. Do they still differentiate the spins for Hot 100 purposes? Finally I don't think Justin's team would agree to the remix if they didn't think he would get credited on the charts eventually. Justin already shot a music video so there must be a plan to push this as high as possible. In the meantime I'm going to stay away from this thread :)

I'm surprised the Biebermix isn't taking off (yet) on streaming, or is it? I thought it was really good & he sounded nice on the track.

I wonder if they'll just copy and paste these shots for the remix video, if there is one.

Up 28 spots and Justin is credited! I think top 10 is possible but not confident about top 5 because
1. Streaming - song length is a disadvantage. Also it feels long some lines keep repeating. Remix was added to Spotify TTH this week but not holding that well (the original never appeared on TTH or global top 200 chart)
2. Radio peaking at different times, it's #4 on urban but just reached top 40 on pop
3. RCA!

Top 10 is definitely obtainable. If the streams keep picking up, Top 5 is within reach.
