RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 2010

Release: 2010Source checked | Recent carryover

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 2010 release history of Doo-Wops & Hooligans. 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 2011.html, 2021.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Doo-Wops and Hooligans - original Atlantic album program
The original 2010 album identifies Grenade, Just the Way You Are, The Lazy Song, Marry You, Talking to the Moon and Runaway Baby. Pre-album singles retain 2010 dates; later 2011 annual appearances do not redate the recordings. Artist context identifies the Hawaii background and songwriting/production work.
