Hoping someone on the board can solve this mystery, I have a 3:17 of Nicki Minaj's 2010 Hit labeled as a clean radio edit. Problem is it is not lossless. Its fade at the end is sudden. A check of discogs and every outlet only turns up a 4:04 CD version in both clean and explicit.
It seems to me that this is not a legit clean radio edit, that it was created by someone. Not even one copy of it on youtube either.
I am inclined to go with the CD clean version realizing that this track is most likely not an official one where the 4:04 is. Any thoughts?

I have a 3:17 copy from TM. Sounds like that's what you
have. Yes, it fades quickly. Top Hits U.S.A. lists a run
time of 3:23 for the clean edit, but that may include
outro silence.

John,
Even though TM issued it, it does not exist on CD. Generally I frown on including lossy stuff in my collection. I have the same TM stuff everyone else has. If I generally cant find a CD or digital download I tend to believe someone created it. They still had singles in 2010.

Promo Only issued a "Promo Only Clean Edit" on their Urban and Rhythm Radio series that runs 3:18. Usually a Promo Only Clean Edit is not trimmed down for length but cleans up a song further than what is provided by the record label. Given that TM Studios also issued this same length, it's very likely this 3:18 edit/length was issued by the record label. Additionally, they serviced the "Promo Only Clean Edit New Clean Mix" on Mainstream Radio that runs 4:05.
New Music Server issued a version of "Your Love" labeled "New Mix" with a run time of 3:40. Clearly this is something different than the what Promo Only serviced.
