My Boo
Usher and Alicia Keys
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 original recording is documented in the 2004 release history of My Boo. Only year precision is assigned; later singles, charts, remasters and live versions do not establish its first release. The original LaFace single establishes the full Usher/Alicia Keys duet in 2004. The expanded album's inherited March field is not used as its first-release day.
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.

Reported dates in 2004.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
My Boo - original LaFace single program
The original 2004 single and linked song credit Usher and Alicia Keys. This direct single metadata is used rather than the inherited March 2004 date on a subsequently expanded Confessions program; only the supported original year is published.
My Boo - original LaFace single program
The original 2004 single and associated Alicia Keys credit are used instead of the inherited March date on expanded Confessions. The selected full duet keeps the same credit and original recording identity as the preserved Alicia Keys collection.
