igetfilthy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So her version has the majority of the points but because of a chart rule, she can't be credited? So not fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I find it pretty shameful that they won't credit her for the #1, considering the it's the remix that is slaughtering everyone on literally every front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose168 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Warranted. Jumping on already popular songs shouldnt count for your own #1s imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She "jumped" on the track back in September, before it was chosen as a single, as Ed asked her to create a duet version. That version is now currently outselling the original 3:1 and substantially outstreaming it too. In no way is this not a deserved Beyoncé #1 as well.

Green Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 She wasn't credited to Mi Gente in the UK because the remix didn't outsold the original With Perfect is a different case because the duet is outselling the original and it's also getting more streams.

Quote Off the record source sez: Decision pending on Monday. Listed as Ed alone on early sales flash as Warners haven't yet said what they want to see happen. also, MR brought up the subject of Perfect already being on an album and that possibly affecting the decision, was Despacito?

Incorrect, she wasn't credited because the label didn't request it. That's all it takes in situations like that and they didn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calypso Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Does it really matter? The streams add for beyonce... The sales add for beyonce.. Bey is getting the exposure.. The praise and the coins. The song with her is falling on people's ears and doing well. If for some reason she isn't credited in the UK it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Good. The original version is flawless, the duet is hollow, emotionless and weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelter Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's probably down to Ed and his label if she is credited or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotunda Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) As long as she snatches the US credits I'm fine with this. But the UK charts are messy and grossly inconsistent. Edited December 3, 2017 by Rotunda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think they should be two seperate entries though but the UK charts make the rules up as they go along nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
