Heard this remix or a similar version on the radio recently for the first time:
I assume "DJTedSmooth" is not really the guy behind the version they played on Hot97, so does anyone know who is?

Remixing "Love on Top" just seems pointless in the first place.
It's pretty awful at the end with the key change over the same baseline, but otherwise I like it. I wanna say maybe the version I actually heard on the radio didn't go that way. But it had the same basic beat.

"End of Time" is helpful to me because i can now acknowledge the existence of something i genuinely like that Diplo has done that i can't easily shift the credit to a sample or a collaborator. still crazy to me that it was never a single, i never would've imagined when this album dropped that "Love On Top" would end up the biggest radio hit from the album, with "Party" as runner-up.
― some former lust object you've shamefully forgotten (some dude), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
isn't it still due to be a single?
"best i never had" was by far this album's biggest UK hit :o
(also, you don't like "climax"?)
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, "Best Thing I Never Had" was I think the biggest hit (as it were) in the U.S. as well. (Also the album's worst single.)

(With "Love on Top" as the best. Wish it had gone bigger.)
it's still a huge mystery to me that "countdown" just was not a hit at all
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:22 (1 year ago) Permalink
like not even a minor one. like even "run the world" had way more cultural impact.
As one of the world's only "Countdown" haters, I reluctantly agree. That thing should've taken over.
― jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
kind of indifferent to "Climax"
"Countdown" was definitely a minor hit -- around the beginning of the year it and "Love On Top" climbed the R&B charts neck-and-neck for a while, then "Countdown" stalled at No. 12 and "Top" went to No. 1. I heard it a lot for a while there.
― some former lust object you've shamefully forgotten (some dude), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
in a landscape dominated by bombastic eurohouse and Adele-esque throwbacks, you expected "Countdown" to be huge?
― an independent online phenomenon (DJP), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:24 (1 year ago) Permalink
"Best Thing" had the highest Hot 100 peak but that's kind of an iTunes-driven thing because it was the first halfway palatable single in line after "Run The World" flopped, it definitely didn't get the kind of radio spins that "Love On Top" and "Party" got later (xpost)

huh, apparently "End of Time" is being released as a UK single next week, which i guess is maybe why Tracer Hand revived the thread.

Song I've listen to the most after "Love on Top" is "Rather Die Young."

i heard both "countdown" and "love on top" on r&b radio quite a bit! "party" as well come to think of it. so yeah, they didn't get much attn on top 40 and didn't sell a ton, but i would still call them minor hits at least

"countdown" never grabbed me as much as love on top or best I never had, but I can acknowledge why people like it

i'm pretty much in denial that "1+1", "love on top" and "countdown" WEREN'T huge hits. it makes no sense. they felt massive, they felt ubiquitous, they were amazing, and i plan to continue ignoring any and all evidence to the contrary
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 18:00 (6 months ago) Permalink
it was the year of COUNTDOWN and SUPERBASS and that is just obvious
even for an album where the radio hits it had didn't have super obvious radio potential, i dunno i have a hard time picturing it in that light. (xpost)
