R. Kelly And Bow Wow Will Have To Learn To Share

Billboard notes the quirky chart notation for “I’m A Flirt,” the R. Kelly-penned song that appeared on Bow Wow’s album before getting remixed, and de-Bowed, by Kelly. MORE »

@maura:
I think BDS distinguishes different mixes of songs, but then Billboard decides whether they constitute a legitimate remix retaining elements of the original song. An old-school remix of the song that, say, throws a house beat behind a ballad would be permissible and count toward the song's aggregated chart position.

However, Billboard actively discourages full-on rerecordings of songs in a bid to win multi-format airplay. They actually had to make a rule about five years ago, informally called the "J.

"I'm Real," "Ain't It Funny," etc. Before the rule, the dirty trick of such rerecordings was that labels were basically getting one super-sized chart position out of two completely different recordings.
