Helen Sjöholm recorded a Swedish-language cover of this song and many more in her album "Euforia". I think we should also add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.176.20 (talk) 08:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beyoncé version peaked at 3 in South Korea, not 2. I checked all weeks and I haven't seen it at #2. — 78.127.199.70 (talk) 19:19, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
