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: 2000
Release: 2000Source 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 Black & Blue recording was public in 2000 before later 2001 single or annual appearances. The earlier supplied year 2001 is retained in the attribute-change audit.
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.

Black & Blue - original 2000 program
The original 2000 album includes Shape of My Heart, The Call and More Than That. The original album productions precede their 2001 annual or single campaigns; More Than That Radio Mix is separately named on the hits anthology.
Backstreet Boys - original release timeline
The artist timeline explicitly dates We've Got It Goin' On to 1995, Quit Playing Games to 1996, Everybody and As Long as You Love Me to 1997, Drowning to 2001, Incomplete to 2005, Inconsolable to 2007 and Don't Go Breaking My Heart to 2018. It also documents formation in Orlando in 1993 and the later group albums. Only year precision is used; regional day differences are not treated as exact worldwide first dates.
