Ed and I were talking and he is still searching for a 3:27 Radio Edit of Midnight by Coldplay. The only place that has such a listing is wikipedia, and they are not always the most reliable.
If anyone here knows of the version existing and where they got it from, please share. Otherwise I would consider this like one of those radio edits that does not exist. Discogs has no listing and even youtube has no radio edit of Midnight. Thanks everyone! |

I'm not sure "Midnight" was promoted to US radio stations, so if there was a radio edit, it would've likely been of UK/European origin. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

| Ed's been insisting for quite some time that wikipedia has it, so it must exist. Well at least we can put this one to rest. |

Yeah, but Wikipedia's always 100% correct, right? :) |

Yes, about 90% of the time! |

It may exist, like Ed insists, but I'm not certain it was ever released to US radio stations. I don't ever recall hearing the song on any local stations, despite it peaking at #29 on the Hot 100. Did it chart due to sales and streaming when the album was first released? ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

That's it. AFAIK, never promoted to radio. |

That's why I am pretty sure a radio edit does not exist. No listing on discogs and no overseas listing even has a radio edit to match the 3:27. I never even heard the song on the radio. |

I think it's possible a UK radio edit was serviced to UK stations digitally.
Discogs is far from complete, especially when talking about digital-only promo releases. I'm sure I have hundreds of radio edits not listed on Discogs that were only released digitally to US stations. "Midnight" is not one of them, though. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I own whole CDs that aren't even on Discogs!
But regarding "Midnight," yeah, if there was a 3:27 radio edit, it was not issued commerically. I bought the UK stand-alone digital single from Qobuz when it came out, and it was the album version. |

And you're not spending every waking hour creating release pages for those discs?!? ;) ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

LOL. I probably should. I've added a few. I added the
late '80s CD maxi single of "Red Red Wine," the one that has the B-side instrumental called "Sufferin'," which is available nowhere else. But funny, after I added it, numerous people said they had it in their collection, so maybe it's not as rare as I thought. (All I know is it took me two years to get a copy.) |

so, do we have any UK enthusiast that can chime in
regarding a possible digital uk radio edit release? ------------- edtop40 |
