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: 2010
Release: 2010Source 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 selected original studio recording belongs to the 2010 Teenage Dream program, before later single campaigns or annual appearances. Only the supported original year is assigned.
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 2011.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Teenage Dream - original twelve-track album
The original 2010 program identifies the title, Firework, California Gurls with Snoop Dogg, Last Friday Night and The One That Got Away. It separately preserves the original solo E.T.; that solo version is not the selected Kanye West collaboration.
