[edit] Jamelia version
"Stop" was recorded when the makers of the Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason film approached Jamelia to record it to illustrate an integeral part of the film. Jamelia instantly accepted the offer and explained how much she was a fan of the character and of the first film [1]. Her cover version was met with critical acclaim, especially for her vocal performance on the track [2]. The exclamation mark at the end of "Stop!" was dropped for the Jamelia release.
"Stop" was released as a double a-side with the song "DJ". It was released on November 1, 2004, one of the busiest release weeks of the year competing with Eminem, Destiny's Child, Usher, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. However, the single still managed to get a UK top ten place, despite the stiff competition and became her fourth consecutive top ten hit, spending twelve weeks inside the UK Singles Chart, one week longer than "See It in a Boy's Eyes", despite having a lower peak. The single also became her fourth consecutive top forty hit in Australia, peaking at number thirty-seven there.
The formats of "DJ" and "Stop" received a staggered release. On November 1, 2004 the 2-track CD: 1 was released along with the "DJ" CD release. Due to time constraints, the "Stop" video could not be added in time to make the November 1 release date and so the maxi single CD: 2 was released a week later on November 8, 2004. This was also the first DVD single release from Jamelia and it is rumoured that the DVD single was released due to the fact that the "DJ" video was not finished in time to be added to the "Thank You - Live" DVD release. The single release also contained a cover of Wham's "Last Christmas".
