| OTHER NOTES |
| Please was the fourth single released to radio from the Pop
album. It was released in early September to radio, and the commercial
singles would follow a month later. Two commercial versions of the single
exist - one titled Please with a cover similar
to the promo covers, and one titled PopHeart
which was labelled as an EP in regions it was released.
The version of Please released is different than that on the Pop
CD. It was rerecorded for the single release. The promo single featured
various edits of this rerecorded single version. |
