Radio stations often make instrumentals of the first few notes so they can talk over.

I have edits of Lucid Dreams and Youngblood which specifically replaced the talking at the beginning of Lucid Dreams on the LP version and created a long instrumental at the beginning of Youngblood rather then start with the vocal.

Another example is the version of Delicate by Taylor Swift I heard that has a reverbish echo after a long instrumental and then goes into the normal song. Iheart and other stations near where I am in Albany often did these unique edits in house I presume.]]> Sun, 15 Feb 2026 23:22:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=67828&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#67828 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : 95.5 WPLJ radio in New York played...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=67822&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#67822 Author: unwritten0114

I wasn't in radio anymore back in 2015 (left the business
in 1997), but I did receive the song on TM Studios
PrimeCuts.

On PrimeCuts, they issued the remix with Kendrick Lamar on
5/22/2015. They issued the Remix-No Rap on 6/5/2015.]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:34:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66285&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66285 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : Just curious if any of our resident...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66267&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66267 Author: Todd Ireland

Just curious if any of our resident message board disc jockeys who were still involved in Top 40 radio at the time "Bad Blood" was a hit in 2014/2015 ever received a digital copy of the "Remix - No Rap" version without Kendrick Lamar from the record label?

And, speaking of which, that leads me to this question... Given that labels had pretty much abandoned delivering physical media to radio stations by this point and time, is anyone aware of any online sources that list or document promo digital downloads that were perhaps serviced exclusively to radio stations but not to the public? ]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 01:12:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66267&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66267 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : As far as I can determine, the...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66254&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66254 Author: Paul C

As far as I can determine, the remix without Kendrick Lamar has never been
commercially released, either physically or digitally. ]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:43:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66254&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66254 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : Good point, yes.

Good point, yes. I have added a note about the no rap version of "Bad Blood" and fixed "...Windows."]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 09:31:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66253&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66253 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : Would the remix - no rap be considered...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66252&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66252 Author: eriejwg

Would the remix - no rap be considered an officially
released version since that's what most radio stations
played?]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 09:03:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66252&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66252 <![CDATA[Taylor Swift - Bad Blood : Just an aside but Taylor&#039;s...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8414&PID=66247&title=taylor-swift-bad-blood#66247 Author: LunarLaugh

Just an aside but Taylor's "I Look In People's Windows" is listed as being from 2026 in the database and I do not think that's
correct.

Aaron, do you think the existing "LP version" comment for the 1989 CD will suffice, or should we consider expanding it to say something more like: (LP version, which does not feature Kendrick Lamar) just to be more clear?
