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 soundtrack pop duet credits both singers and was released in 1991, before the 1992 Celine Dion album and retained annual entry.
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.
Beauty and the Beast - original Dion/Bryson soundtrack recording
The original soundtrack song explicitly credits Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson and retains October 1991. This is the pop duet, distinct from Angela Lansbury's film performance and later remake versions; the 1992 Celine album is a later appearance.
