My Prerogative
Britney Spears
2004
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: 2004
Release: 2004Source 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 label identifies this as a new Britney recording released with the 2004 compilation/single project. Bobby Brown's earlier recording is a different performer and is not 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 2004.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative - original new recording and version catalog
The 2004 compilation includes its new title recording, separately confirmed by the label history. It explicitly distinguishes the Stop Remix of Crazy, Darkchild remix of Overprotected, Co-Ed Boys with Pharrell and original Me Against the Music with Madonna. Old-song dates are not inferred from the compilation date or default January 1 metadata.
Britney Spears - Jive/Legacy original album and career review
Documents the original album years from Oops 2000 through Femme Fatale 2011 and identifies key recordings and collaborations. Its parenthetical 1998 for the debut album conflates the single and album and is rejected in favor of the separate label history and original album metadata. Current reissue dates are not first release dates.
