What I've Done

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 band studio recording was publicly issued in 2007, including the original single release. Its associated album does not supply an assumed exact first-release day; later live, remix and alternate presentations are distinct.

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 2006.html, 2007.html, 2007.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Minutes to Midnight - original album and explicit edition
Distributor metadata retains the original 2007 album date. Only What I've Done and Bleed It Out from the original program are used. The 2022 phonogram notice does not date the recordings. The editorial description of Shadow of the Day as lead single is not adopted.

Linkin Park - public distributor recording metadata
Actually retrieved public JSON identifies original tracks and release years: What I've Done 2007, Waiting for the End 2010, Burn It Down 2012, Final Masquerade 2014 and New Divide 2009. The New Divide collection January 1 placeholder is not used; the track metadata and Paramount independently support 2009. This Minutes to Midnight edition marks Bleed It Out cleaned and is not used for that selected explicit version.
