Forever - original single program
Original 2008 Jive/Zomba single program explicitly identifies the Main Version and named club remixes. The Main Version inherits a conflicting 2007 album-era track field, which is rejected after comparison with the contemporary label announcement. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Jive announces the new Forever Edition recordings
Contemporary April 2008 Jive statement identifies Forever as the new lead single and Super Human with Keri Hilson as a new addition to the forthcoming expansion. Read with the actual 2008 licensed releases; the announced June day is not treated as a proven first public day. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
In the yearly lists
These are listening-list appearances, separate from the first-release date.
The selected original release program, full performer credit and actual retained original-era recording candidate were reviewed together. This preserves that retained recording identity; no later live, remake or guest-remix presentation is substituted. This is a bounded release/credit review, not audio fingerprinting.
