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: 2009
Release: 2009Source 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 belongs to the 2009 Fame Monster project. Its song metadata and the release history precede the current January 2010 package header; only the supported original year is used.
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.

The Fame Monster - original recording program and release history
The page describes the original 2009 project and its structured track data dates the selected recordings to 2009. Its current January 2010 package header is later; no original song is dated from that package. The separately named Starsmith remix is excluded.
