I don't know if it will be eligible to chart...it's credited to Sony, not IDJ.
that doesn't make a difference
LOL yeah how is that even remotely relevant???
Because the original was recorded for Sony, and elements from the 1994 version were used in the 2009 version. It's owned by Sony's
"legacy" division, and even though Mariah bought her entire catalog, they still have most of the rights to all of those tracks. Unless they credit
the original as a sample, it won't be considered new.
In order to be considered for the BB Hot 100, the song needs to have new elements to it, and be currently promoted. This song is credited as "2009 dance
mix" and is currently being promoted, considering its being sent to radio and has a download date set. It doesn't matter who owns the rights.
