V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original band studio track was issued in 1998 as an advance single. Track-level metadata is considered independently of the associated album, and only year precision is published.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
Owner-supplied release annotations
Reported dates in 1999.html, 1999.html, 1999.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Goo Goo Dolls - reviewed public distributor recording metadata
Actually retrieved JSON supplies all selected original album track titles, The Goo Goo Dolls artist credit and individual release dates. Iris 1998, Slide 1998, Here Is Gone 2002, Better Days 2005 and Stay with You 2006 have track dates earlier than their associated album dates. Only year precision is published; no phonogram or January 1 placeholder is used.
Dizzy Up the Girl - label original program
The label explicitly identifies the original 1998 album and its original thirteen-track program. The modern anniversary product date is not used. Iris has a separately reviewed earlier soundtrack release, while Slide has its own 1998 advance-single metadata.
