Ignition (Remix)
R. Kelly
2003
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: 2002
Release: 2002Source 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. Two recording-specific licensed items establish the remix in 2002, before the 2003 album and annual appearance. The later anthology field is not used as first release. Only year precision is assigned. The earlier supplied year 2003 is retained in the attribute-change audit.
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 2003.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Ignition Remix - earlier recording-specific release year
The original recording-specific field identifies October 2002 before the 2003 Chocolate Factory album. The field dates the remix itself, not the separate original Ignition recording. Only 2002 is assigned.
Ignition Remix album version - independently licensed original field
The licensed item explicitly names the album-version remix and gives October 2002. This supports the original year before later album and anthology placements; no precise day is asserted.
Chocolate Factory - original 2003 program and separate remixes
The original program separately identifies Step in the Name of Love and its approximately 7:12 remix in 2003. Ignition Remix carries an earlier recording-specific 2002 field, independently confirmed by the individual licensed items. Neither the shorter original Step recording nor a radio edit is counted as an additional selection.
