😅

<04elomatreb> the database currently has ~85k recordings that were first released on that day: https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=firstrelea...

<04elomatreb> although an unknown portion of those may be recordings of older works

thank you very much, so this list contains songs that were released that day?

because if I used the search engine and I only got the year 1984, but I wasn't sure if they were from that day too.

<04elomatreb> yeah, it's supposed to return just that day but it apparently it includes the whole year

<04elomatreb> sorry, not sure how to get the search server to be exact here

maybe some generic info from that date helps anyhow... https://takemeback.to/03-September-1984

discordbrainz: don't worry, thank you very much for the help

Thank you so much, I get so much information but I can't find anything exact.

digging through 85k entries will be frustrating 😉

totally didn't realize and I've been at this for an hour now.

🫠

There should be a way to tell lucene you want only that date

But I forget what it was :D

lThe closest thing I found was the release of the Iron Madden Powerslave album.

Yes, and what I normally get is the song that was top 1 that day, but what I'm really looking for is the song that came out just that day.

Oh, no

Any search for a specific date will currently also return any results that match the year or year and month alone. For example, a search for "1980-01-22" will also return all matches for "1980-01" and "1980". This is a known issue reported as SEARCH-634.

SEARCH-634: Cannot search for partial or exact dates using advanced query syntax anymore https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/SEARCH-634

how would you know that you found the correct song? do you search it for somebody...as birthday surprise (without knowing the song?) or would you know it if you hear it?

<04elomatreb> currently looking at my local (a bit outdated) database clone

mr44er[m]: hehe it may sound kind of silly but I am counting the birthdays of someone in particular who was born on September 3rd.

<04elomatreb> why does the recording_first_release_date table only have 23k rows? 🤔

<03metadataismydrug> Are you looking for a specific song or just any released that day? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Be_Good_to_Me "Released September 3, 1984"

only for the day but what I'm looking for is any song that came out just that day, and the closest thing they release to me is the song that was the top 1 but wasn't released that day

Thank you all very much for the help, they are very nice.

Also my English is not the best 😅

oh, I'm going to cry, you're the best, thank you very, very, very much!!!!

😌

jejeje

another one

I thought I wasn't going to find anything, I was getting desperate

and I'm just starting I have 39 more days left hahaha

How did you do it, can you give me some tips?

<04elomatreb> ah my local materialized tables weren't build properly

<discordbrainz> "<metadataismydrug> Are you..." <- millions of thanks 🤗

duckduckgo.com and try with this scheme

discordbrainz: oh sorry to hear that

<04elomatreb> (the "discordbrainz" part is just a bot, the bit after that is my username :)

❤️

I'll try it there next time

"site:wikipedia.org September 3, 1984 song released" should work the same in google / yandex etc.

On Google it gives you all the options of the year but if they are not very specific with the day

I see

discordbrainz: Oh nice to meet you

but for the next few days I am going to use https://duckduckgo.com/

I think it was a very good option, thank you very much

<04elomatreb> apparently we have just 11 releases that were released first on exactly 1984-09-03

cool, you have those in your base

<04elomatreb> (I'm talking about the musicbrainz.org database)

<04elomatreb> just managed to run the query on my local copy

Oh sorry I don't know much about it

Thanks for the help guys, have a nice afternoon 😉

yeah, you too 🙂
