Caught Up
Usher
2005
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 | 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. The original recording is documented in the 2004 release history of Confessions. 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 2002.html, 2004.html, 2005.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Confessions expanded - original and explicitly named Special Edition items
The original 2004 program supports Yeah with Lil Jon and Ludacris and Caught Up. Confessions Part II and Burn are explicitly identified as Confessions Special Edition versions; those named 2004 presentations are selected. Inherited March fields are not used to assert that the subsequently added My Boo or guest-rapper remix were on the first March program.
