When Beyonce announced the re-release of her fifth album last week, some lamented on the meaty price-point of the newly christened ‘Platinum Edition’.
Indeed, despite the project featuring new songs, remixes and being marketed as more a collectors item than a full-on reboot, the $30 / £30 cost irked a few – namely many who purchased the original LP last year.
They need not fret, though.
Because, today it’s been announced that the new material will also be available as a standalone EP digitally.
Details below…
Retailing at $8.99, the ‘Beyonce’ “add on pack” will arrive on the same day as the full re-release (November 24th) and is currently available for pre-order.
Its tracklist is as follows…
1) 7/11
2) Flawless (Remix) (ft. Nicki Minaj)
3) Drunk In Love (Remix) (ft. Jay Z & Kanye West)
4) Ring Off
5) Blow (Remix) (ft. Pharrell Williams)
6) Standing On The Sun (Remix) (ft. Mr Vegas)
7) Run The World (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
8) Flawless (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
9) Get Me Bodied (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
10) Blow (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
11) Haunted (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
12) Drunk In Love (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
13) 1+1 (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
14) Partition (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
15) Heaven (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
16) XO (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
*******************
Very smart move. Selling the new material (no matter how slim) in a cheaper standalone capacity will no doubt give sales of the ‘Beyonce’ project overall a big boost.
I will get this one.
Smart business move Parkwood!
t******
Woooooo!!!!!
great! can’t wait woop woop. it’s good to be a part of the beyhive hehe 😀
So lovely being apart of the hive!!
Yesss it is, the Girls are FAB!!!!!!
This is so late. She could have put more than 2 new songs. Who’s buying remixes that are already online?. S**** already got my money once. Funny thing is that I knew she was going to rerelease this sub-par album but I thought she was gonna pull something like JT’s 20/20 experience. Like maybe she was saving the best material for last. Smh she always disappoints. I’ll just wait on the Rih-turn
SPEAKING OF DISAPPOINTMENT, HOW IS UR MOTHER DOING????
I’m glad she did this tbh, now I am willing to buy this. I wasn’t going to spend £30 on material I already have.
No ones buying
Says a CiError fan….
Ciara will slay next era she already slaying fashion b****
Hmmm no…
You would know all about not buying an album huh
KIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!! Damn… Read of the month.
I love Beyonce, I was purchasing either way.
I’m going to get this.
I LOVE your avi
This is so thirsty!
I’ll purchase cuz I was having a hard time debating on that $40 investment AGAIN!! Lol
I’m buying this here investment!!:)
SMART MOVE PARKWOOD!
I looooove.me some Bey, but I’m a student and work full time hunny i was not parting ways with 40sisters over Material i already have lol i’m mad the OTR tour isnt here though! i’d pay 12.99 for that
The EP’s #19 on UK ITunes!!!!
cool.
Can you say “price drop”? Lol
No idiot, the platinum edition is still for $30, the more e.p is for those that already bought the albums, we knew dis already… STOP BEING A SHADY THOT AND GO WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE WATCHING PUSSYLIYAH’S MOVIE PRODUCED BY TYRANNY WILLIAMS.
Doesn’t matter, I’m not spending my money on 2 songs and some crappy remixes. Stay in your delusional stan mode all ya want, but giving at least 5 or 6 songs wouldn’t had killed her. Put the boring ass LIVE videos on DVD separate. Just no, and I bought the first album, but this is just a cash grab without giving anything.
Good for you Mark, but your coins aint that special.
lol, well damn.
Beyoncé has had the same amount of partners as Aaliyah so keep that in mind.
Can you say “Plane drop”
Can you say “Plane drop “
Death at people saying theyll spend 8 dollars for 2 new songs
Man, Parkwood don’t play no games! They no how to get a coint
Smart Business move Beyonce’ and Parkwood. Although I think people are still going to spend the $40 for the complete set.
I’m still not feeling this. The platinum edition was just too much for Beyonce x10, OTR tour (two things I’ve watched over and over) and just two new songs. I was exited about the re-release but not anymore.
Get Me Bodied???
1+1?????
Run The World???
Good luck to those paying for these songs i guess
That is good news but I already order my copy but I will still buy this one
I rather get this one because it has the videos from the tour. However, I’ll probably download the two new songs from the other edition, because I would love new music from Queen B!
The whole set is not even $40 people. It’s 24 f****** 99. Stop being broke when yall t****** s*** anyway. EBT ass b******.
I really wish she would of released that song with rihanna ..oh well
I am not interested
this beythief “re-shyt” album will flop hard.. she could do a remix with Jesus and it still wont do diamond sales
Lol at this point, it’s a gag not on beytheifce’s behalf but not the fans behalf. who would pay 25 dollars for 2 new songs and some YouTube-able performances? Beyoncé just stealing that coint, hunny, left and right. *Twerk-sashays away, silhouette effervescent in the moonlight*
Who is going to buy it besides mindless Beyhives? No one cares.
You obviously care since you took the time to here and comment. I don’t get why people who “CLAIM” not be to Beyonce fans are so worried about what her fans are going to buy are not. You clearly care!!

THATS WHAT THE FUCKKKK I WANTED! Beyonce I am not buying this… I will only be downloading the “new” songs… #GirlBye
She should release one of the songs tonight at midnight
it will sell 250-350K alone by itself. Very smart business move. I see why certain others had to move their release date.
Yeess! Standing on the Sun is my s***
I love Beyoncé but this b**** really is only giving us 3 new songs ? There better aleast be a music video for “7/11” & “ring off” but she could have at least gave us 5 new songs I mean really Bey ? All those songs you recorded for this album but we only get 2 ? Wth I dont wanna hear from her till this 6th album comes out
Much better but still not worth paying 100 South African Rands for! The problem here (as a fan) is not paying, the problem is WHAT AM I PAYING FOR in other words value for my money.
So what am I paying for really? It seems I’m paying for just TWO new songs and a bunch of remixes. When you bought the album barely 12 months ago and it comes out again with almost identical features and a few unnecessary features (booklet and that stupid calendar), that to me screams racket!
We watched the ten HBO performances, WHY DO YOU WANT US TO BUY THEM WHEN WE KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO RELEASE A MRS. CARTER SHOW DVD?
The sad truth is, Beyonce doesn’t force anyone to spend their money on her however I’d hope that there is some level of respect for people who appreciate her art and the way she runs the business side of her career shows that she has everything but respect for her fans, retail-wise.
Can she also consider that some of us are young doctors who are working in a semi-developed country with a corrupt and uncooperative government and a joke of a health department, 12 hour shifts and we want to get home after touching sick people for half the day and listen to Beyonce…OK I’M GOING OFF-TOPIC HERE……………….anyway can she just consider that we actually WORK for our money also, so please don’t rob us in broad daylight now come on.
So MY solution: pirate the two new songs, I couldn’t care less for a bloody remix, and wait for the Mrs Carter Show DVD to come out (Now that I’m willing to spend my money on). RANT OVER.
P.S. When will this women ever come to South Africa? I now have to spend the money I had set aside for her “coming to South Africa” by going to a f****** game reserve! Gosh how many times do I have to see a lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and a buffalo in my life Beyonce…really?…really?
well said Thado,its been a while seeing you here,ke batla beyonce a tle South Africa,and um not here for daylate robary
