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".
I can only imagine the pandemonium if the song goes #1 next week and Britney isn't credited.
I think for her to be credited, the remix version needs to make up more than half the point total. Are stations still playing the original? Or are some/many spinning the remix instead?
The remix will obviously outsell the original this week, but it probably needs to outsell the original to make up for the airplay. So confusing...

The major stations are now playing the remix like Z100 92.3 NOW. KIIS FM etc.
