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 recording-specific field establishes 2006, earlier than the 2007 parent album. Only the original recording year 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.
Keep Holding On - licensed recording item
Actual item title, performer credit, album association and public recording release field were retrieved and read. Only the supported year is published; an observed day is not an independent proof of the earliest global release day.
The Best Damn Thing (Expanded Edition) - licensed release program
Licensed release program, artist and track membership were retrieved and read. Original recording dates are checked separately; an expanded edition, compilation, January 1 placeholder or current copyright year does not set the first release date.
