X - original program with scoped conflicting track fields
Original 2014 album includes New Flame with Usher and Rick Ross, while Fine China retains its earlier 2013 recording field. The Loyal Tyga track inherits a conflicting 2013 field; that unresolved candidate is queued rather than selected. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The selected licensed item explicitly identifies the original explicit recording, while the actual retained annual candidate gives no audio-edition metadata. This conservative provisional link does not assert a separately established alternate performance or invent a new annual row.
