Okay, so I kind of really hate it when the radio ruins a song. Like, when they think the sound isn't right for the consumers' tastes, so they change it to a "Pop Version". Seriosly, 9 times out of 10 the "Pop Version" is crap. A sped-up version of a previously great song. So, the uninitiated form an opinion solely based on something that is completely different to the actual song. It really bugs me.
For example, this is the fourth week in a row that Taylor Swift's "Love Story" has been #1 on the Australian Aria charts, having been knocked down for one week for that new Flo Rida song. Regardless, all they ever play on the radio is the pop remix, because the other version is branded as 'too country'. What?
Eh, here - I've embedded the two versions so you can judge for yourself.
This is the POP version.
And this is the MUCH BETTER album version.
They've done the same thing to Miley Cyrus' "The Climb". They've seriously butchered it.
The "Fast" mix the radios are using.
Seriously, WTF is that. It's not meant to be fast! Ugh. Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of the interwebs.
Peace and Love.

I like both versions of Love Story, although I will agree, they are very different.
