Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.

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 appeared on Destiny Fulfilled in 2004, before the later single campaign or 2005 annual appearance.
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 2005.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Destiny Fulfilled - original program and full Soldier credit
The original 2004 program identifies Lose My Breath, Cater 2 U and Girl, and explicitly credits T.I. and Lil Wayne on Soldier. These original album recordings precede their 2005 annual or single appearances; later remixes and member solo recordings remain separate.
Columbia/Legacy - original Destiny's Child recording history
The label explicitly dates the original No, No, No Part 2 single featuring Wyclef Jean to late 1997, before the February 1998 debut album. It identifies Independent Women Part I as a 2000 single and Charlie's Angels soundtrack recording before Survivor in 2001, and outlines the 1999 and 2004 original albums. Its table mixes album years with single history; only the scoped original events are used. Chart claims and its inconsistent album numbering are not adopted.
