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 2012 release history of Turn Up the Music. 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.
Fortune - original RCA program
Original 2012 program and earlier 2012 Turn Up the Music and Don't Wake Me Up single fields. The selected Turn Up the Music is the original solo recording.
