Can't Feel My Face
The Weeknd
2016
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: 2015
Release: 2015Source 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 is documented in the 2015 release history of Beauty Behind the Madness. 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. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Beauty Behind the Madness - original program and earlier single fields
The original 2015 program identifies The Hills, Can't Feel My Face and In the Night. Often retains its original 2014 single field. The longer Earned It album item is not substituted for the chosen shorter soundtrack presentation. The essay's inaccurate blanket description of the soundtrack as a 2014 release is not used.
