1986
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: 1986
Release: 1986Source 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 1986 release history of Break Every Rule. 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 1986.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Break Every Rule - original 1986 album program
The original 1986 album identifies Typical Male, What You Get Is What You See and Break Every Rule. The latter two recordings precede their 1987 single campaigns and retained annual appearances.
Rhino - original Tina Turner solo singles history
The label's chronological single program dates Whole Lotta Love to 1975, Let's Stay Together to 1983, We Don't Need Another Hero to 1985, I Don't Wanna Fight to 1993 and GoldenEye to 1995. Its later single-campaign years do not override earlier parent albums for Acid Queen, I Can't Stand the Rain, Break Every Rule, Foreign Affair or Whatever You Need. It explicitly distinguishes the 2023 Something Beautiful reworking from the original 1996 Something Beautiful Remains.
