RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 2016

Release: 2016Source 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 track-specific licensed date identifies the original single in 2016. Its placement on More Life and the retained annual entry both occur in 2017 and remain separate from 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 2017.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

More Life - original program and preceding single
The original 2017 program identifies Passionfruit and Do Not Disturb. Fake Love retains its earlier October 2016 track date and is dated from that earlier single year, not from the 2017 project. Passionfruit is the full approximately 4:58 original album presentation.
