Diary
Alicia Keys featuring Tony! Toni! Toné!
2004
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 2003
Release: 2003Source checked | Recent carryover
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 recording was publicly released on The Diary of Alicia Keys in 2003, before its 2004 single and annual appearances. The earlier supplied year 2004 is retained in the attribute-change audit.
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.

The Diary of Alicia Keys - original recording program and guest credits
