RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 2002

Release: 2002Source 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 is documented in the 2002 release history of Justified. 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.

Owner-supplied release annotations
Reported dates in 2002.html, 2003.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Justified - original Jive album program
Original 2002 program identifies Cry Me a River, Rock Your Body, Senorita and Like I Love You, the latter retaining an earlier 2002 single date. Later 2003/2004 annual entries do not redate these recordings.

Like I Love You - Jive-supplied original recording credits
The Jive-supplied Justified audio description explicitly credits Clipse with rap and identifies the original 2002 recording. It establishes the guest role omitted from the retained annual shorthand, not a new release based on the YouTube upload date.
