I tag it as Timbaland "Apologize (feat. OneRepublic)" when I listen to the remix, gives credit to both artists, but I don't listen to the remix because I don't really like the song. "Stop and Stare" ain't too bad, though.
Anyone with common sense could tell you they are not one hit wonders as they have had two hits. Who cares how it's labeled? Ultimately, it's OneRepublic's song. Who care's if Timbaland produced it? Do you discredit an artist of their hit because someone else produced it?
Fair enough... that's what I'm thinking a bit.
But I don't know if these questions apply to the music industry rules?
It is credited to him if you're talking about the remix that became famous. And he does sing in it. Listen to they beginning of the song. don't you hear they "hey"s? Sound exactly like the ones from "Say It Right".
Eh, that doesn't really make it his track. OneRepublic are still the ones who wrote the song and sing the song.
Apologize and Stop and Stare were a hit. But Say (All I Need) and Mercy both flopped. IMO, they just need to release a good single so that they won't be a one-hit wonder.
OR are 2.5 hit wonders. Apologize and Stop And Stare both did well everywhere, such as the US Hot AC charts. Say (All I Need) is sort of a hit, but Mercy has no traction.
It always surprised me that they didn't release "All We Are" after "Stop and Stare." That had HIT written all over it. I like it much more than "Mercy"
I love them but...
