Just obtained a sealed copy of the US CD single for "Run This Town" (a Best Buy exclusive), and it runs at the single speed, not the faster album speed. ]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:32:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=35611&title=jayz-run-this-town#35611 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=35102&title=jayz-run-this-town#35102 Author: Brian W.

George Michael did that with "Hard Day," by the way... sped it up considerably for the album. The single version (which I have on a domestic CD3, the "flip side" of the "I Want Your Sex" maxi-single) runs much slower. Same mix, just faster on the album.

Was just surprised by this myself tonight. Yes, the album version is sped up by exactly 1.022 percent from what the single runs. The stand-alone digital single, which was the album version (also the clean version, separately), runs exactly 4:33. The sped-up album version runs 4:27.

Wow! I had no idea they even made CD singles anymore, other than imports. I just figured out the run time difference---the speeds are different. The radio versions that run 4:33 (and I assume your commercial CD single version) are about 2% slower than the LP version.]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 07:12:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=26325&title=jayz-run-this-town#26325 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=26324&title=jayz-run-this-town#26324 Author: Paul Haney

I have the commercial CD single issued as Roc Nation 521199. It has the "uncensored" version (with a Parental Advisory sticker) and runs (4:33).]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 05:59:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=26324&title=jayz-run-this-town#26324 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=26306&title=jayz-run-this-town#26306 Author: aaronk

Although it's not mentioned in the database, "Run This Town" went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. There are at least two different radio versions that I know of: the "Clean Edit" and the "Extra Clean Edit." They both run 4:33, which is about six seconds longer than the album version. I'm not sure what makes up the difference, but it's not a matter of the fade being shorter on the album.]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 10:25:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5614&PID=26306&title=jayz-run-this-town#26306
