Shortly after the Jerry Maguire Mix of "Secret Garden" became a hit, it
seems a few radio stations all had the same idea of creating a Titanic
mix of "My Heart Will Go On." At one time, my old top 40 station
received a CD-R with the Z104 Mix. Although the disc never made it
into my collection, I do have copies of three different radio station dialog
mixes from a TM Century GoldDisc. There are two different Kiss FM
versions (Los Angeles and Dallas) and the aforementioned Z104 Mix.
Not long after, the record company jumped on the bandwagon and
released their own dialog version on the Back To Titanic soundtrack.
Does anyone recall hearing a dialog version on the air back in '98, and
if so, was it one of the ones listed here or a different in-house edit?

I do seem to recall hearing a version of what you're describing, but I only heard it a few times here in the Milwaukee market and couldn't tell you how it went.

We were serviced with that on a CD-R and played it for a
couple weeks. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions.
Someone also produced a version with dialog from "Gilligans
Island". We didn't play that, but I have an mp3 of it if
anyone's interested.

WPLJ in NY played a dialog mix very heavily. I recorded it
on to a Sony mini-disc at the time, when those were a
thing for a very short time. But that mix was lost when my
mini-disc player died. CDR's had then arrived so I never
had the player fixed.
I don't know if WPLJ made the mix themselves or if it was
serviced to them. Their mix was the only one I heard that
used the "hit" version of the song. The mix I heard on
other stations was made from the soundtrack recording.

The local Philly Hot AC station Star 104.5 or WYXR, played the "dialog" mix for
the single's entire chart and recurrent, possibly because the AC station B101
was playing the regular version.
The song ended with Kate Winslet saying "I'll never let go" and at the
beginning, I recall the phrase "It is insinkable" being repeated. The line
"Iceberg right ahead!" appeared in the middle.

I remember that well. But I think there may have been at least a small difference in the version that Star 104 played versus the one that appears on the "Back To Titanic" soundtrack. For some reason, I remember thinking that the Back To Titanic version sounded different than what I'd heard on the radio.

The "Back To Titanic" CD didn't come out until the song had already sunk on the charts. (Song peaked on the Hot 100 in February 1998. Soundtrack released Aug. 1998.) Any stations playing a dialog mix had likely been doing so long before this, and I doubt any of them switched to the "official" soundtrack dialog mix.

Love that pun about the song having sunk on the charts, Aaron. Good one!
I just listened to the Back To Titanic mix, and there's no "It Is Insinkable" at all at the beginning like radiofan16 mentioned and I also didn't hear "Iceberg right ahead" in the middle, either. But the mix DOES end with Kate Winslet saying, "I'll never let go".
I guess that explains why the Back To Titanic mix sounded a little different to me when I first heard it. I had forgotten that it had been released several months after the original Titanic soundtrack, and Sony apparently did their own dialogue mix. I never would have imagined there were multiple mixes of it, like you mentioned in the first post.
By the way, for anyone who might dislike the song, take into consideration that it could have been #1 much longer than 2 weeks if it had been released as a single earlier. By the time it was released, the airplay was so high that the single was assured of debuting at #1, which it did. It was later that same year that Billboard began including Airplay-only songs onto the chart.

Yep. #1 for 9 weeks (CHR) in Radio & Records!

Curious to know which version of "My Heart Will Go On"
each station decided to add the dialog to?
I heard the "Let's Talk About Love" album version more
often than the version that was on the "Titanic"
soundtrack album. Not sure if they are entirely different
performances or only different in certain places but the
ending vocal phrases are, for me, the most easy
identifiers. I think I only ever heard the soundtrack
version on the radio once during the song's initial run
and it was during its descent down the charts.

Contributing to this is the fact that Sony only
released 500,000 copies of the single (as per
Billboard at the time) - enough to ensure it went
gold, but probably far less than it naturally would
have sold.
Oddly, this was Celine's first Hot 100 single not to
be released on a vinyl 45.

They probably didn't feel the need to release a 45 because they were looking to get a #1 debut, and by that time CD and Cassette Singles had long been outselling 45's. I don't know if sales of 45's even counted toward chart positions at the time, especially when the labels by then had been withholding certain songs from single release, or pressing only limited runs of others, like this song.

Going from memory, WPRO-FM in Providence played a
version that had an additional 30 seconds? of
orchestration and dialog before the actual start of
the song. The rest continued on the same way as the
movie dialog edited versions mentioned above. I had
downloaded this version from Limewire some 20 years
ago, but it's long gone. I would love to know where
this version originates.

Does anyone own the promo cd of My Heart Will Go On
with the 3 radio station versions? I am curious if
the disc came with artwork or just a no frills cd. I
have a rip of the disc but do not have it in my promo
cd collection. Below are the listed and actual times
of the single.
1-My Heart Will Go On (Titanic Z 104 Mix) (listed
4:37, actual 4:42)
2-My Heart Will Go On (Nick's KIIS Mix) (listed
4:28, actual 4:33)
3-My Heart Will Go On (Kiss Dallas Mix) (listed
4:26, actual 4:30)

I've not personally come across a 3-track promo with all the various radio station mixes, but I see it listed on Discogs. Back when the song was a hit, the top 40 station where I worked received a CD-R 1-track promo with only the Z104 Mix. I don't believe it came from Columbia/Sony. It looked more like something that would've been passed around between stations. I think it had an adhesive label with the artist, title, and "Z104 Mix," but I could be mistaken about that, too.

Does anybody know which version starts with Jack saying
"Just give me your hand, I'll pull you back over" at
:06? This is the version that Fun 107/New Bedford MA
played - it was also a one-track CD-R but wasn't
credited to anyone or a particular station. I ripped it
from the CD when I was working there; I also have the
Z104 mix in my library from Top Hits USA.
Fun 107's version was definitely an early one... the
dialog sounds like it was recorded on a cassette in the
theater.

I've listened to all three versions on the promo cd rip
I have and none of them have that intro. I wasn't aware
there was a 1 track promo as well. I was working at
KISS 108 in Medford/Boston back in '98 and they played
the KISS Dallas Mix for a few weeks.

Aaron, I also looked up the mixes on TM Century. Is the "Niks KIIS Mix" the one you are referencing as the Los Angeles Mix?
All I see is the "Titanic Z104 Mix" and the "KISS Dallas Mix" and the "Niks KIIS Mix." There is a "Tony Moran Mix' but, I'll bet that one has a dance track laid on it. Oh, and that one is on a HitDisc.

Here's the Kiss Dallas Mix. This is not the version I heard back in 1998, so I'm
guessing it was either the "Z104 Mix" or the "Niks KIIS Mix". If anybody has
both, fell free to shoot them over.
