Rumor has it that they may delay it another month because Madonna's "Hung Up" is in the way!

You heard the new one already? Wow! You're fast!

There's already two different Moran mixes. One is from the Tour De Beats CD and the other is a private mix.

I was just listening to "Lovin' U," as performed on Jenny Jones in 2000, last night! She was the best Jenny Jones performer I ever saw, even better than Alih Jey, Ashley Ballard, and PYT!

If you liked those, I'd suggest checking out her other material that came out after that. iTunes has a good amount of it.

Yeah. That's the private mix I was talking about.

Anyone notice that the new radio mix, while it has the same music, has new vocals!? Love this song!!!

i think it's sad to think that a great song like this is very likely to be overshadowed by big releases from other major artists ... thanks for the link diso dude. i had a hoot listening to those samples.

This song is a Breakout this week on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart. It'll probably be debuting next issue.

The edits on the promo single, including the Jack Elliot, Jack Elliott & Mac Quayle and the Tony Moran & Warren Rigg are quite good. It sounds like the vocals are different from some of the other versions I have found already. Especially on the Moran/Rigg one the vocals sound different. And the Elliot/Quayle one has the key change that is in the original mix!

^ hu-waht? you got the promos already??! aaaaargh! .... LOL.

Just the edits. The other mixes are floating around on the file sharing programs.

[SPaCeMaN SPiFF]

are they?? all i see are cleverly edited fakes... none seem to match the time listed in the press release for the single.

That other promo with the Jack Elliot, Jack Elliot/Mac Quayle, and Tony Moran/Warren Rigg mix edits is the CD promo that was sent to radio stations.

I finally had a chance to hear a clip of the Wayng G. mix and next to the Tony Moran mix this is my favorite!! I can't wait till the single is released.

Is this from the same album she's been releasing songs from for over two years? If it is, this is my favorite single from it. It's really catchy, but not annoying.

It's from Fly Again

#2 with a bullet

It looks like she's going to pull off a tenth consecutive #1 hit. I'm not really a fan, but it's incredible that she's never missed the top.

This girl never misses a beat

[tozion]

She didn't do it.

HOPES DIM: There's nothing wrong with having a song that peaks at No. 2 on a chart, but it has to be a heartbreaking disappointment for Kristine W to just miss the top spot with her latest, "I'll Be Your Light" (Silver/Tommy Boy), on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play list.

By falling to No. 3 this week, "Light" appears to have missed its chance to keep Kristine W's record intact. It is the first of her 10 chart singles to not achieve pole position. Between 1994 and 2005, every Kristine W song to debut on this chart ended up peaking at No. 1.

NOT THE BRIGHTEST 'LIGHT' ON THE CHART

Dear Fred,

Hope you're doing well, Fred. As always, thanks for the weekly column.

I'm glad that you touched on Kristine W this week in "Chart Beat." I was sad to see "I'll Be Your Light" dip to No. 3 after peaking only at No. 2. I'm still optimistic that DJs will unite and help give this song a reversal and push it to the top. Of course, I'm also a realist and know that most songs drop fairly quickly from Billboard's Dance Music Club Play chart.

I noticed Kristine W hasn't had much success on the Dance Radio Airplay chart. It amazes me that someone who has her stellar record on the Club Play chart would be virtually ignored by radio, especially since her music is quite radio-friendly.

I've been fortunate enough to see Kristine perform and to meet her on many occasions at various shows throughout the United States. She is one of the most overlooked talents -- not only in the dance genre, but in all of the music industry. Thank you for mentioning her and keeping her on the radar.

Dear Craig,

Glad you enjoyed the item on Kristine W. Those who missed it can go to Chart Beat and read it. I was hoping to report that her perfect record was intact and that she had scored her 10th No. 1 with her 10th chart entry, especially when I saw that "I'll Be Your Light" had gravitated to No. 2.

Even though she apparently missed the top spot for the first time, it's an enviable feat to have your first nine chart singles all visit the penthouse, so Kristine W's place in chart history is secure.
