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: 2025Source 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 licensed album includes this Drake recording in 2025. Year precision avoids inventing agreement on a regional February day or treating the later video as the 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.
$ome $exy $ongs 4 U - licensed original album and track credits
The licensed 2025 OVO Sound album program identifies track 14, Nokia, as Drake's solo main-artist recording, with Elkan as producer. This is the original album program, not a remix or music-video upload. Only the 2025 year is assigned because regional listings differ by a day in February.
