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 track has its own 2005 release metadata before the associated album. In particular, Better Days was already public in 2005 before Let Love In in 2006. Only the supported year is published; the album date is not substituted for the single date.

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.

Goo Goo Dolls - reviewed public distributor recording metadata

Only year precision is published; no phonogram or January 1 placeholder is used.

Let Love In - original album and individual track metadata
