Ashanti "foolish". Radio edit difference?

I have an import CD single of this track that includes radio edit, album version, and instrumental. For the life of me, I can not figure out how the 2 vocal versions differ. When I pop the disc into Itunes, radio edit comes up as 3:52, album version comes up as 3:48. When I play both tracks, the song officially stops at 3:46. I followed along with the lyrics, they are the same. The mixes sound exactly alike also. Can ANYONE shed any light on this situation? Thanks.

"Baby" peaked at #15 on the Hot 100.

When I was working in Detroit radio at the time this song was a hit, our station also played "Unfoolish," which is the remix to "Foolish." This track is included on the Ashanti full-length album, but it's currently not noted in the database.

Should "Unfoolish" be included in the database, since it's a remix that did receive airplay? If I had to guess, both versions were probably counted under "Foolish" instead of charting separately. Maybe Paul Haney or Chuck can comment further on this.

The only time with mediabase that I recall the opposite happening was with DHT's version of Listen To Your Heart, where the "candlelight" version charted seperately.

Thanks, Chuck! "I Need A Girl (Part 1)" and "I Need A Girl (Part 2)" had separate chart runs, if I'm not mistaken; however, they may have been released several months apart. "Foolish" and "Unfoolish" (I think) were released around the same time, as was the J-Lo example you mention.

actually mstgator, I think I meant the DJ Sammy tune, not DHT. oops - it's been 10 years since I last thought about this!
