Heartbeat Song
Kelly Clarkson
2015
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
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 Piece by Piece. 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.
Piece by Piece - original and separately named Idol presentation
The original 2015 studio program identifies Heartbeat Song and Piece by Piece. The separately named Idol Version is excluded; its inherited 2015 bonus field and the 2016 package copyright are not dates for the selected original album performance.
