For the 2023 chart re-entry of this song, the database
currently states, "this song is available only as a
digital download". This is actually a re-entry of the
2007 version after Rihanna's performance at the Super Bowl.

The 'radio' version referenced above was the digital single
I purchased back in 2007 and which I see is still
available.]]> Mon, 08 May 2023 03:10:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=62992&title=rihanna-umbrella#62992 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=43376&title=rihanna-umbrella#43376 Author: aaronk

Just today, I obtained a US promo CD single for "Umbrella." It's an official Def Jam CD-R with two versions:

1. Radio (listed 3:46; actual 4:14)
2. Instrumental (listed 4:37; actual 4:36)

Does anyone know if this was released on a factory-pressed CD with a catalog number?]]> Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:55:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=43376&title=rihanna-umbrella#43376 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=25980&title=rihanna-umbrella#25980 Author: aaronk

While there is no notation in the database, my Promo Only has a shorter version of "Umbrella," running 4:15. TM's library labels this version as "Radio Edit." Perhaps the version listed as "faded early" in the database is actually the "Radio Edit"?]]> Sat, 17 Apr 2010 09:24:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=25980&title=rihanna-umbrella#25980 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19129&title=rihanna-umbrella#19129 Author: aaronk

I just discovered in our music library that Def Jam sent us a CD-R that says "Umbrella (Rapless Mix)." This is the one that has the instrumental on the intro and cuts right to the first verse, so it appears the label did supply that alternate rapless edit you hear on CHR stations. (It does not start with just the drums. It begins with both the drums and instrumental music.) The run time is 3:49. It is not an official looking promo--just a burned disc with the title written on it in permanent marker.]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 13:14:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19129&title=rihanna-umbrella#19129 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19105&title=rihanna-umbrella#19105 Author: aaronk

OK, the run time of the song in our automation system is (4:22). Please PM me for further info. :)

BTW, ironically, "Beautiful Girls" (Radio Disney Version) was recently released on a Nickelodeon compilation CD for iCarly. It is labeled on that disc as (Nickelodeon Mix), but I'm 99% sure it's the same version we're playing. For the record, Sean Kingston cut that version specifically for us, as we had requested him to change the lyrics so we could play it.]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:37:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19105&title=rihanna-umbrella#19105 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19097&title=rihanna-umbrella#19097 Author: Steve Sharp

Any further information or direction in getting this is appreciated.

Aaron:

Do you have run time info for the "Radio Disney Edit"?]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:33:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19069&title=rihanna-umbrella#19069 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19068&title=rihanna-umbrella#19068 Author: aaronk

Brian, you are correct. We are playing our own version, sent to us by Def Jam, that does not include the rap by Jay-Z. Where his rap would be, our version still contains the ad libs by Rihanna ("eh, eh, eh") that you hear in the background of the original version. It also changes the ending ad libs to "come here to me," whereas on the regular version I believe she sings "come into me."

Unfortunately, I don't think this version was ever released on CD or iTunes.]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:31:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19068&title=rihanna-umbrella#19068 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19043&title=rihanna-umbrella#19043 Author: Brian W.

Aaron might be able to chime in on this. I see reference online to something called the "Radio Disney Edit" of Umbrella, which supposedly has no rap.]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:17:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4284&PID=19043&title=rihanna-umbrella#19043
