This is Billboard Hot 100 Policy on Remixes Charting!
Quote:
"Billboard has also answered the call of music industry insiders who raised an issue regarding song remixes. A growing trend in the early first decade of the 21st century was to issue a song as a "remix" that was so drastically different in structure and lyrical content from its original version that it was essentially a whole new song. Under normal circumstances, airplay points from a song’s album version, "radio" mix and/or dance music remix, etc. were all combined and factored into the song’s performance on the Hot 100, as the structure, lyrics and melody remained intact. Criticisms began when songs were being completely re-recorded to the point that they no longer resembled the original recording. The first such example of this scenario is Jennifer Lopez’ "I'm Real". Originally entering the Hot 100 in its album version, a "remix" was issued in the midst of its chart run that featured rapper Ja Rule. This new version proved to be far more popular than the album version and the track was propelled to number one.
To address this issue, Billboard now separates airplay points from a song’s original version and its remix, if the remix is determined to be a "new song". Since administering this new chart rule, several songs have charted twice, normally credited as "Part 1" and "Part 2". The remix rule is still in place."
Nobody knows. Some people say they won't because the version getting more airplay is the original, not the remix. I'm going to do a little research on this policy regarding remixes. I'll be back soon.
Please let us know what you find out. I've been curious about this all day.

So, they will chart as separate songs?
I'm confused, because I wouldn't exactly call this a different song from the original. "I'm Real" had a completely different beat and lyrics, the only difference between both versions of "S&M" would be the intro is sampling the chorus and Britney has a verse on i, and sings some of Rihanna's lines.

Never again (after this time: still funny as hell)
and also the digital.
