Because You Loved Me
Celine Dion
1996
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: 1996
Release: 1996Source 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 1996 release history of Falling into You. 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 1996.html, 1996.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Celine Dion - original Falling into You program
The artist dates the original album to 1996 and lists It's All Coming Back to Me Now, Because You Loved Me, Falling into You and All by Myself. Original album availability precedes later annual appearances; full original album productions are selected where specified.
My Love - explicitly named Celine single editions
The Sony anthology explicitly names It's All Coming Back to Me Now Radio Edit 1, The Power of Love Radio Edit, All by Myself Radio Edit and A New Day Has Come Radio Remix. It is used for edition labels and corroborating same-year preceding single fields, not as the originals' release year. Its inherited 1993 To Love You More field and uncertain Think Twice Live field are explicitly excluded.
