The SLS charter is clear, only one song per artist per edition. If we like "The Denial Twist" for SLS14, which we do, then "My Doorbell" has to be left on the cutting room floor. That's the rule. Another rule is that a song may only appear on one edition of SLS. We may love System of a Down's "Hypnotize", but once it appears on SLS14 it can't also appear on SLS15. Duh.
Death From Above 1979's "Romantic Rights" is a virtual guarantee to make SLS14 but we're also loving the "Romantic Rights" remixes on You're a Woman, I'm a Machine Remixed. There's the Phones Lovers remix, the Erol Alkan Love From Below Re-edit, the Marczech Makuziak remix and the Dahlback remix. They're all sensational, but the Phones Lovers remix could easily have the legs to appear on SLS15. What's uncertain at this point is whether this is permitted.
Do remixes counts as a new song and are they disqualified because the original appeared on a previous edition of SLS? Covers of songs are treated as new songs, but they're always from a different artist. These remixes of "Romantic Rights" are still Death From Above 1979.
We need a ruling!
