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 2009, 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.

Paramount Pictures - New Divide original film association
The May 2011 release issued by Paramount Pictures explicitly identifies New Divide as the song from the 2009 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen film. Its discussion of a separate 2011 concert is not evidence for the selected original studio performance.

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.
