I believe the sales are pretty split, actually. The original spent a good time in Top 20/30/40 during the remix success. At September 2013 the sales were 1.1 million, the remix accounting for a little less than half (512k).
Likewise it helped her album sell a lot more than it would've. So it exposed her in a good way.
It was a blessing and a curse overall though. Would've been great for the original to have hit radio and stations being accustomed to her original sound.
