She just released an album today. Two hours later, she released a deluxe version of that album and didn't make it known until after the original album was released. Shes relying on her cult to buy the original album, then splash the cash to buy the deluxe edition afterwards.
shareI SUPPORT THE CALL OUT...HOWEVER...THIS IS NOTHING NEW...AS A PHYSICAL MEDIA COLLECTOR...I HAVE DEALT WITH THE BASIC EDITION FIRST THEN HERE COMES THE DELUXE EDITION COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE YEARS WITH DVD,BLU-RAYS,CDS,ETC.
shareI just checked, and apparently the deluxe edition has 15 extra songs. The original only has 17 total. If it were me, I would feel like I only got half of an album.
shareThe sad thing is that her fans are like, "OMG, 15 more songs. Yaaaaaasss. Slay queen."
shareAnyone that celebrates getting nickel and and dimed by a billionaire has a pretty low IQ.
If I happened to me, I think would probably bootleg the rest of it to avoid supporting shady business practices.
How many people are actually going to buy the album within hours of it coming out though? Seems like a non issue.
sharebeats me. i don't know how young people buy music anymore. so long as they were both sitting side by side on the rack in a CD shop, it's definitely not a problem. i get the feeling that don't happen much these days.

But did they actually buy the cd or just stream it?

Unknown. Frankly, I don't have a clue how to buy music anymore. The last thing I bought was a CD of Wicked for my wife after we saw the play on Broadway about 10 years ago.
If they bought and downloaded it, I imagine they could upgrade for the rest of the songs for the balance of the cost (assuming the second release cost more than the first).
Pre-orders. The 15 songs on that original release were on the top 25 downloads within hours.
shareThat is unusual.. 32 Tracks this woman has made??
