RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 2015

Release: 2015Source checked

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 is documented in the 2015 release history of Same Old Love. Only year precision is assigned; later singles, charts, remasters and live versions do not establish its first release.

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 2015.html, 2016.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Revival - original Interscope program
Original 2015 program: Hands to Myself precedes its later annual year; Same Old Love and Good for You have pre-album 2015 fields. A$AP Rocky is explicitly featured on Good for You. The introduction confirms the solo 2013/2015 sequence and label transition.

BEHIND THE SONG
