Mediatraffic:
Lady GaGa set new records: 'Alejandro' is her 7th global top-10 success and it's the first time ever, that a studio album ('The Fame Monster') delivered so many hits! Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' for example contains 6 global top 10 hits.
Congrats
Also like to note: this proves its just a re-release worldwide
I count them as one album. If she wanted to draw a line between them, why did she name her "second album" The Fame Monster? That's a name for a "re-release". Her second album is still yet to come.
