Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.

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 recording-specific original single metadata explicitly retains September 2002. The inherited 2003 field on Thankful and the 2012 anthology date are later package information, not this recording's 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.
Greatest Hits - original years and new 2012 recordings
The label-distributed recording metadata retains A Moment Like This in September 2002. Catch My Breath, People Like Us and Don't Rush featuring Vince Gill are new 2012 recordings, distinct from the older repertoire and the separately named live Miss Independent.
About Kelly Clarkson
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Kelly Clarkson's American Idol-era single A Moment Like This appeared in 2002, followed by the R&B-tinged pop of Thankful. Breakaway and My December developed a stronger guitar sound around her powerful, flexible voice. Later recordings span country duets with Jason Aldean and Vince Gill, holiday material on Wrapped in Red and the soul-oriented Meaning of Life. The original songs on chemistry continue that range into 2023, alongside the quieter ballads that remain central to her catalog.
Artist background sources
Thankful - original 2003 program
The original 2003 program and preceding same-year Miss Independent field support that original recording. The inherited 2003 A Moment Like This field is superseded by its explicit 2002 original single metadata; the essay identifies Clarkson's first-season American Idol background. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
Breakaway - original studio program
The original 2004 program identifies Since U Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, the solo Because of You and Walk Away. The title and Since U Been Gone retain preceding same-year single fields. Beautiful Disaster Live is separately named and excluded. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
My December - original program and named remixes
The original 2007 program identifies Never Again and Sober. Explicit Dave Aude remix and club items are separate from the selected original Never Again production; the later live video does not date the studio Sober. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
My Kinda Party - original Jason Aldean duet
Don't You Wanna Stay explicitly credits Kelly Clarkson and belongs to the original November 2010 album, before the 2011 Stronger addition and annual placement. An unrelated title-track's anomalous 2020 field is not used. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
Greatest Hits - original years and new 2012 recordings
The label-distributed recording metadata retains A Moment Like This in September 2002. Catch My Breath, People Like Us and Don't Rush featuring Vince Gill are new 2012 recordings, distinct from the older repertoire and the separately named live Miss Independent. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
Wrapped in Red - original 2013 program
Underneath the Tree belongs to the original 2013 RCA program; the holiday album's later seasonal appearances are not new recording dates. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
Meaning of Life - original Atlantic program
The original 2017 program identifies Love So Soft and I Don't Think About You, with Love So Soft's preceding same-year single. The essay supports the album's soul-oriented setting without repeating personal-life or current-status claims. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
chemistry - original program and artist interview
The original 2023 program retains mine's preceding April single field. Clarkson's interview supplies later catalog context; only the supported original year is assigned, and personal relationship claims are not used in the profile. | Retrieved 2026-10-18
