The commercial CD single of this song (Arista 7822-13550-2) lists the time
as 4:10, but actually runs 4:20.

Paul, I believe you're missing the final letter on the final word of the title..."Nobody's Supposed To Be Here".

I have what's called the "Special Slow to Fast Version" of Deborah Cox's "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" on my Promo Only Mainstream Radio DJ CD subscription series and it has a run time of 4:13. There is currently one database CD with the comment "slow to fast version", but is shown as only running 3:41.
Does anyone have a promo CD single release with the "Slow to Fast Version" who would be so kind as to pass along the track listing and run time information?

You're the man, mainrhythm. Thanks for helping solve another promo CD single mystery!
By the way, I just now realized that the commercial CD single run time info that PaulEschen reported in his initial post was never incorporated into the database.

Okay I'm pretty sure the only version of this song I ever heard on radio was the 4:14 Hex Hector Radio Mix. The album version is slow and feels dragged out. Anyone remember differently?
I never heard of a slow to fast version, no idea that even got played.

What a great tune. I only heard this version a couple
times on the radio here in Florida, and only during the
weekend mixshows. It was the Hex Hector Mix that I heard
on-air.
The local Top 40 near me never even played it.
I'm sure it got to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 due to
sales alone.

I recall hearing the album version on my local Top 40
station, but I could be mistaken, as it has been a lot
of years.
"Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" spent 8 weeks at No. 2 on
the Hot 100, 1 week at No. 1 sales, and peaked at No. 6
on Hot 100 Airplay. In other words, it was a fairly big
airplay hit, too. (It also spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on
the R&B/Hip-Hop Hot 100, which, I believe, was a record
at the time).

there are two hex hector mixes....the regular "hex hector radio edit" and
the "hex hector retro future radio mix".....the latter of which i remember
hearing on NY's WKTU which was probably at its ratings peak around
then.

I miss the days of WKTU. They often played a lot of the cooler remixes and sometimes they brought out the extended 12 inches on some shoes. Seems these days the idea of a dance type station is lost. The peak years of WKTU was from 1996 to about 2003. After that they started adding the more pop related releases and that was that. I know a few boards that try to recreate those fantastic playlists from that era!

I'm sure the high airplay peak in Billboard was
completely driven by Urban radio spins. The song peaked
at #30 on the Radio & Records CHR/Pop chart, although it
did manage a #12 peak on the Billboard Rhythmic chart.

To Aaron:
I seem to recall at that point in time
the Hot 100 Airplay chart was compiled
from only Mainstream Top-40, Adult
Top-40, & Rhythmic Top-40 airplay; R&B
(Urban) airplay was not utilized for
this chart. Could you, or maybe Paul
Haney, correct me if I am wrong? The
metrics changed often on those
charts...

Yes, I believe this song is one of the first ones to benefit from additional
formats being added to the airplay panel. Paul stated in another thread
that R&B, country, rock, and “many other formats” were added on
December 5, 1998. The Deborah Cox song came out in September
1998, so the changes would take effect only a couple months later and
probably when it was reaching its 14-week run at #1 on urban radio.

To Aaron:
Thank you for the timeline/explanation!
It's tricky to try to remember when metrics changed on the various charts...

Well I'll be! They're two dance radio edits. After
giving a quick listen to my copy on TM's GoldDisc 4809N
the intro sounds different than the
dance mix I heard on the radio. I don't see anything
listed as "hex hector retro future radio mix" in
Discogs, however. They're several promo CD singles
listed and one features a "Dance Radio Mix" and another
lists "Fast Mix". I don't own either so I can't say if
they are different.

The Retro-Future mix and edit are for the song "It's Over
Now", not "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here". There is also a
Club 69 Radio edit of "NStbH".
