Given the tough musical climate, the once-frequent practice of re-releasing albums has become a thing of the past. However, it’s set to be revived for Billboard belle Iggy Azalea next month when her debut album ‘The New Classic’ is re-issued.

Officially christened ‘Reclassified’, the set will add a selection of new tracks to the original LP, with a fresh single from the new set of songs also a strong likelihood.

It’s widely expected that the re-release will add to the 376,681 US sales of the original, which has been in stores since April 23rd and has thus far been supported by singles including ‘Work’, ‘Fancy’, and ‘Black Widow’.

Building buzz, the Australian-bred beauty revealed the LP’s cover. Check it out above.

Your thoughts?

‘She‘ chanteuse may have poured her heart and soul into her new album ‘Point of No Return’, but it would seem the general public have decided not throw their hearts and wallets in its support today, now that it’s first week sales prediction has been announced.

Unfortunately, after the critically acclaimed ‘Woman to Woman‘ opened with 96,000 units in 2012, ‘Return’ is set to touch down on the ‘Billboard 200‘ with anywhere between 22 to 25,000 units next week, marking her lowest opening week number to date.

On lower ground, Urban Pop sensation Tinashe isn’t set to fare any better. For despite owning the summer with the smash hit single ‘2 On’, the entertainer proves there’s more work to be done now that her debut LP ‘Aquarius’ is set to sell between 17 to 20,000 copies.

October 27th is a date fans of Jagged Edge look forward to with anticipation, as it marks the release of their new album ‘JE Heartbreak II.‘

One has to give it to Nick Jonas.

After observing fellow entertainers Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber make a number of desperate (and at times offensive) moves towards “Urban” music, the former Disney star finds his transition from PG-friendly Pop prince to grown’n’sexy Rhythm & Pop newbie welcomed by the very audience Cyrus and Bieber are still yet to win over completely.
