Crazy In Love
Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z
2003
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: 2003
Release: 2003Source 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 collaboration was publicly released in 2003 before Dangerously in Love. Year precision avoids choosing between territorial single dates. The later solo rerecording is a different selection.
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.
