Now, I am confused Here's the whole story : By Melinda Newman LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Sometimes you get a second chance. Just ask Meredith Brooks.
Originally out in 2002, her album "Bad, Bad One" quickly fell by the wayside when her label Gold Circle shut down almost immediately after releasing the set.
Now, the project is getting another shot -- thanks to TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw.
McGraw selected "Shine," the first single originally released in 2002, as the theme song to the upcoming season of his syndicated talk show.
"The Dr. Phil Show," which airs on more than 200 TV stations, starts its third season Sept. 13.
Additionally, the song is featured in 30- and 60-second promos for the third season. The ads, which heavily feature Brooks and chyrons the song, start airing the week of Aug. 16.
SLG, the pop label for RED-distributed Savoy Label Group, will rerelease "Bad, Bad One" -- now retitled "Shine" -- Sept. 21, the same day Brooks appears on "Dr. Phil."
"I love this album and feel it may get a chance in a market that would be more suited for the type of music it is," said Brooks, best known for her hit single "Bitch." "In other words, I can be my age and not have to try and fit into a pop market for 19-year-olds."
"The TV tie-in is just extraordinary," adds Steve Vining, Savoy Label Group president. "Having worked at Windham Hill, we know what happened with projects when we had artists like George Winston appear on ("The Oprah Winfrey Show"). We know how to put an album through its paces for something like this and to get it displayed and priced properly at retail."
Vining says Savoy is still weighing when to reintroduce "Shine" to radio: a "Dr. Phil" remix with reworked lyrics will go to adult contemporary radio, while the original cut will go to adult top 40.
"If we start working it immediately after the first exposure from 'Dr. Phil,' that only gives us a month and a half before the charts get frozen for the holidays," Vining says. "So the question is, Can we push it enough in that short amount of time or do we let the PR machine build and take it to radio in January?"

I wonder if that means they're re-releasing 'Shine' - the single? It originally made my Top 40 in 2002, I believe, but didn't do overly great. I still have the mp3.
I'd like to see Meredith have minor success with the album though. At least so she can continue doing what she does, whether she gets a hit or not.

Just for reference, the new No Doubt record is a B-Sides and Rarities album, not new material.
