An extended edition and an a cappella version of "Hold Me Closer" has been registered

[Stannedforever]

Wait? Have we ever gotten official acapella released before? I know there's tons of stem/acapella leaks and some of her singles had instrumental version but acapella? 

They really want DJ's to play this

yay!!

Acapella?  Interesting.  Hopefully the dialed down the studio stuff for it.

They’re releasing it to shut up all the complaining fukks, who said they couldn’t hear her 🤣

Exciting! I hope there’s more of Brit’s vocals added rather than just an extended instrumental / repeated choruses 

Same

It's coming

Yeah I really don’t get that.  She’s far more prominent than Elton.  Like can people not hear?

For charting knowledge: if we created a playlist on Spotify with Hold Me Closer, Hold Me Closer (Extended), and Hold Me Closer (Acapella) would Spotify count all 3 of those streams towards Hold Me Closer or would they be separated? And would listening to 3 different versions of the song continue to count on Spotify or would it stop counting after a while due to attempted manipulation of success?

I believe the acapella for Gimme More was at least released on a 12" vinyl.

Remixes are count to the single sales. Hence why it's so important to release remixes. Taylor Swift did this with "Willow" in order for it to debut at #1. There were at least 4 remixes of Willow.

I hope it's true but I'm not getting my hopes up... I guess if they registered them it's because they'll use them but I know sometimes songs are registered that end up not being released.

Thanks for the answer ❤

I read on another forum that spotify only counts 20 streams of the same song per account per day.  And that multiple versions are important because they themselves have 20 streams per account per day and it will then triple the streams of the same song combined.

[K-man]

Come thur with the other versions!! 

[(You Drive Chris) Crazy]

I can’t WAIT. On top of this helping sales and streaming overall to push the song up on the charts, im genuinely thrilled to hear the acoustic version with Britney’s vocals front and center. It will be euphoric, her deliveries on this song are pure ecstasy already! 
 

And the clubs will LOVE the extended version so they can mix the song into their playlists!

Remember S&M with Britney

[Mr. Cavill]

Can't wait for both, but particularly the acapella one! 

[ThisMeowBiteback]

They should wait a lil while longer let it get big on radio & than release them with a discount on the single &, maybe the video that week & it definitely will go number 1.
 

I thank Elton for this because I finally get how the new system work & how competent labels are able to make it work for their artist
