Apologize is a song released by "Timbaland". The song is the biggest radio airplay hit in the history of Top 40 radio in North America, racking up an astounding 10,693 spins in one week, breaking the previous record by 370 spins. The song has charted strongly around the world, reaching number one in 16 countries. Timbaland Re-mixed the song to make it more modern, he also cleaned up the vocals and overall made the song sound more mainstream than the original. Adding his name is good for business making it sell more records, and as OneRepublic are signed to Timbalands Label "Mosley Music Group" it benefits OneRepublic and Timbaland. But dont take nothing away from Ryan Tedder the writer of the song.
