While I do not listen to much of current radio, I was surprised to hear one of my current favorite songs with a different intro on the radio this morning. I am quite sure that this is the version that I heard of "Mystical Magical" by Benson Boone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIIHlhpqPn4&list=RDwIIHlhpqPn4&start_radio=1" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIIHlhpqPn4&list=RDwIIHlhpqPn4&start_radio=1 It's listed as Powerhitz Radio Edit. Does anyone know if this is available digitally? I am guessing that it is promo only. Thanks. ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

I checked the Promo Only POOL and it wasn't released by them. I googled the name Powerhitz and came up with an internet radio station. Could it be a custom mix from them? https://powerhitz.com/" rel="nofollow - https://powerhitz.com/ ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA Celebrating 29 years as a full-time wedding & special event DJ! |

Interesting, John. Could be. Thanks for checking. For the record, I heard this on a local radio station, Mix 95.7 West Michigan, here in the Grand Rapids area. ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

Loved it. One my current fave songs. Can't get why it didn't do better on the Hot 100. If someone finds out where the mix comes from, please let us know ! Edit: I actually LOVE this one but I had another song of him in mind when I said I can't get why it didn't do better, and that's "Mr Electric Blue". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL19WbWOxag" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL19WbWOxag I just don't get it. Anyway, back to that Mystical Magical, any info on that edit will be appreciated! |

Cristian, I think that it was an issue of airplay and streaming peaking at different times. Despite only hitting #17 on the Hot 100, it peaked at #6 Airplay. The new single, "Mr Electric Blue", is a favorite as well. ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

Lol:) Mine too! I confused the song with Mr Electric Blue. It's just a brilliant pop song, isn't it? I just edited my previous post about this. #73? Come on! Makes no sense at all. |

Quite a few CHR stations replace the original song intros with pieces of the instrumental. This is not unique to the Benson Boone song, as I've heard hundreds of "intro edit" versions on various stations. Often times it's to add an instrumental intro to a song that otherwise starts with vocals. I know that's not the case here, but perhaps the "Powerhitz" program director thought it sounded better to have a more "powerful" intro? ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thanks for the info, Aaron. I don't listen to current radio enough, but that makes sense. Cristian, the #73 peak of "Mr Electric Blue" was when it made its debut digitally back in June. It just started going for radio adds. I expect it to peak higher. ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

| Considering how much exposure it's gotten from the commercial that it's in, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a resurgence on CHR. |

It's featured in multiple ads for Target and simultaneously is in a Benson Boone endorsement ad campaign for Bluetooth headphones. I wonder if ONJ's "Physical" will also have a newfound life after "Mystical Magical". ------------- https://thelunarlaugh.bandcamp.com/ - Listen to The Lunar Laugh! |
