called the platinum edition, and some idiot will purchase it. It will include 4 news songs.
*(Rant Started)* Why would you re-release an album that just came out? I mean, isn’t that disrespectful for the fans who went out and supported your stuff from the beginning? This is just a ploy to sell records, but just put all the songs on your record from the get go, and then more people would purchase your music. Beyonce came out with a double album just for the purpose of increasing her album sales. According to Nielson soundscan rules,each CD will be counted for the billboard charts. This means if Beyonce sold One cd, according to the charts, shesold two cds. So her disc that has gone double platinum, HAS ONLY SOLD HALF THAT AMOUNT. If artist would focus on the music and stop handing people these half ass cd’s then there would be no need for gimmicks to get people to buy your music. *(Rant over)*

LOL, in order for an album to receive double credit by soundscan it has to be over 100 minute. Beyonce’s CD is under 100 minutes, therefore, it only gets counted as one! The two CD’s was strictly for marketing the Beyonce/Sasha Fierce. Hope this helps!
