Most of the remixes in today's music are more successful than the original version. Just let it do it's thing. I'll be pleased if either of them end up being a "hit", but I know which version I'll stick with.
I totally agree. It's funny, I had been listening to TBT for like a week and tried to warm to this mix but hadn't. Then randomly David Bowie' s "Let's Dance" came on my iPod. I finally realized in that moment what I don't like about TBT- it doesn't just pick an aesthetic and stay with it. It's not that memorable. They're similar songs too- both are borderline annoying, both are Nile Rodgers-inspired (one produced by him), and both are swings for the pop charts by artists who, at the time, hadnt seen them for a minute. Unlike "Dance", which was a hit and holds up well, TBT feels strained. Bono seems strained, the guitars seem forced, the solo seems odd and like a rhythm part, the production is all over the place. The Kygo mix is simpler, more direct, and feels like a more complete single. I really hoped they were going to avoid the over tinkering, but alas it appears it struck again.

For those trying to judge this song's chart success, it's simply way too early to say. Unless you're Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber, you have to earn your way onto the radio. Even the songs that become hits, climb the charts slowly. It will take weeks, even months to get a realistic view of this song's success or failure.
Beautiful Day didn't crack the top 100 singles chart in the U2 for weeks and then it slowly burned its way up the chart, starting at like 88 and made it to 21.
Do you think that happened, in part, to the video? Didn't videos on TV have a much larger viewership at that time? What else might you attribute the delayed chart ascent to?

A good video and the fact that U2 was out promoting it. They hit every show, every award ceremony
And the song got a HUGE boost for winning a Grammy

that said, it is wayyyyyyyy too soon to declare The Best Thing dead in terms of chart. it takes awhile for songs to get momentum and get going on the charts, unless you're Taylor Swift, Sheeran or Bieber.
Beautiful Day was an immediate hit. The song was all over radio from the moment it was released. Same with the video. The Best Thing is not and will not be a hit. It's already peaked.
This is something I will never understand. I don't love TBT (I like it but I'm not putting it in top 50 U2 songs) but it's miles ahead of TS's new song "Look At What You Made Me Do" - which I cannot understand why anyone would like. I remember the days when U2 songs would chart well right off the bat...boy do I feel old.
