Gut instinct has me saying "no", but either way I don't think the fact that it's a remake really adds much leverage to DHT's success with the song so far (whereas the ballad version most certainly does).
Dance remakes are far from rare and few ever see much mainstream action; I doubt it's a major factor here either. The original by Roxette was a respectable hit in its day, but it's hardly an all-time classic that we hear much from anymore.
One other DHT-related stat - it's currently #10 on Mediabase's mainstream CHR airplay chart. First time that's happened for a dance record in years.
