The remix only hurts the sales of the original for a couple of weeks. Then usually the remix disappears without a trace, and the original goes back to where it would've been before.
It happened to previous songs with remixes. The only remix I can think of that didn't have any impact, whether it be positive or negative, was "Moves Like Jagger."
After the remix of "Last Friday Night" was released and did its thing, the original started to collapse at a fast rate.
I don't think the remixes of "Blow" and "Good Life" did anything to the original songs, but that's because they went nowhere. Interesting that they both feature B.o.B.

Actually, the original usually ends up being worse off. After falling down the charts because of the remix, it almost never fully recovers to where it was before.

Oh, okay.
Then, I think it's safe to assume that Till the World Ends would've made the year-end top 25 if it wasn't for the remix.
