Marc Anthony-You Sang To Me

The commercial vinyl 45 is actually the full 5:46 LP version (I don't know about other commercial single formats), although the label states a time of 5:25. (Robert, does it actually run 5:23 on the Runaway Bride OST or does the CD simply state so?) The promo CD single has the "Radio Edit" (3:51) and the "LP Version" (5:47).

Robert:

In cases like this, Pat usually denotes a movie soundtrack CD containing a different edit or version of a Top 40 hit with the comment: (soundtrack version). I believe this policy applies when a soundtrack is released at approximately the same time as the Top 40 hit in question.

Pat, feel free to chime in if I'm wrong.

Am I to assume that the soundtrack version with an actual
running time of 5:23 is the 5:30 remix?

I've always wondered how close Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You was in 1981. Olivia Newton John's Physical and Hall & Oates I Can't Go For That if I recall matched the entire 10 week run blocking it from hitting #1. Same goes for Missy Elliot's Work It which as #2 for 10 weeks, which I think was blocked by Eminem's Lose Yourself, which had 12 weeks.

Then you have songs that spent crazy weeks at #2 Like Exhale (Shoop Shoop) by Whitney Houston and Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These) which managed to finally sneak a week at #1 after massive hits of the year kept them out (One Sweet Day and Every Breath You Take respectfully).

It would make it quite interesting to know how close both Missy and Foreigner were to #1 at any time during their 10 week #2 runs...

Muy Dentro De Mi (You Sang To Me) (Spanglish) 3:56 Is track 2 the same "Radio Edit" Paul mentions on the promo CD single? I just listened to the "Remix" on YouTube, and this is a totally different recording from the original mix (new vocals and new instrumentation). Presumably, the "Remix Radio Edit" would be an edit of the longer version. When the song was a current, we played the "Radio Edit" from the promo CD, which is a short version of the LP version.

The music video for "You Sang to
Me" uses a shorter edit of the
album version which could be the
same "Radio Edit" from the promo CD
single.

Additionally, I recall seeing the
video for the Spanish-language
version titled "Muy Dentro de Mi"
and uses a shorter edit of the 5:54
remix in Spanish which uses the
same mix as the remix of the
English version. This shorter edit
of the Spanish version runs 3:50
and has received airplay in several
Latin American radio stations.
