Thanks, Paul, for the confirmation. I'm pretty sure my local Top 40 station always played the Radio Edit.]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:14:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=15011&title=dont-matter-akon#15011 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=15002&title=dont-matter-akon#15002 Author: eriejwg

JonesTM, on other library discs, has the 'radio edit', so they issued both versions.]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:15:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=15002&title=dont-matter-akon#15002 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=15000&title=dont-matter-akon#15000 Author: aaronk

Not necessarily, eriejwg. I believe this was one of those songs that many stations started playing before the record company had a chance to issue it as a promo single. When JonesTM saw it charting, they probably just pulled it off of the full length album for HitDisc release. Later, an official "Edit" was released. Promo Only also did their own "edit" although it might just be an early fade. I think their version runs about 4:20 or so, and it doesn't match the promo CD.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:48:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=15000&title=dont-matter-akon#15000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14979&title=dont-matter-akon#14979 Author: eriejwg

Interesting note here. My version from JonesTM must be the 'Main', as the run time is 4:51. So, is that the version radio embraced?]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:19:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14979&title=dont-matter-akon#14979 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14977&title=dont-matter-akon#14977 Author: Paul Haney

We have the official CD promo single, label # 21780:

1. Radio Edit - listed and actual (4:09)
2. Main - listed (4:53) - actual (4:51)
3. Instrumental - listed (4:53) - actual (4:51)]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 06:18:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14977&title=dont-matter-akon#14977 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14969&title=dont-matter-akon#14969 Author: Todd Ireland

According to my research, there's a promo CD single release for Akon's "Don't Matter" that contains the following track listings and printed run times:

1) Radio Edit - 4:09
2) Main - 4:53
3) Instrumental - 4:53

Could anyone who has this promo single please pass along the actual run times and the catalog number? (I'm not really concerned about the instrumental version since that version obviously didn't garner any widespread airplay.)]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:56:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3206&PID=14969&title=dont-matter-akon#14969
