As Eric said below, this HAS been confirmed as the next single from Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. So, I moved the thread here.
Her reps are calling it the official first single from the album and saying that "Obsessed" was just a "summer trifle." (I hate record label execs. and artist representatives.)
And yes. It IS a remake of the 80s hit by Foreigner. I have a feeling it's either going to be really good or an absolute train wreck.

I've just made the same thread in the singles section but had to delete it when I saw yours...apparently it is confirmed as the new single. Here's the report : It’s the first “real” single from her new album following the summer release of the witty “Obsessed,” which is also included on “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” The album and the single hit the world on Sept. 29th.

Funny because now "Obsessed" is finally taking off on CHR (almost +600).

I don't understand why "Obsessed" is now listed as a buzz single...it's not flopping at all and it started at #11 on the Hot 100...the new one should just be the second single that's it.

^Crack A Bottle was a "buzz" track and it went #1 on the Hot 100. Buzz singles are supposed to do semi well. Labels just like to call singles that if they flop to cover their ass. Too bad it doesn't work 99% of the time. I could easily see Obsessed really being a "buzz" single though. But then again, buzz singles typically don't have videos or promo.

In other words, Obsessed is a flop by their standards, and this is a "my bad."
This should be interesting.

Obsessed will jump on the top 10 on the Hot 100 next week due to airplays...#11 again this week...you call a top 10 hit a flop?

Well they had no problem with It's like that stalling at 16 back in 05 which was the lead single from Mimi.

Definitely a big improvement over that immature mess she called a lead single. This will definitely do well on the AC formats as they usually eat up cover songs. Pop I'm not so sure though.

Wonder how this will stand against the new Leona Lewis song..... Mariah vs Leona...(Whitney?) I like Mariahs new song, feels like it a hit to Open Arms, Without You and other classic cover hits she have had
