IFPI considers The Fame (original) and The Fame Monster as seperate albums

Nah everybody follows billboard lol
The fame and the fame monster are separate releases and charted separately like beys more only EP, rereleases with like 3 extra songs aren't albums.
Also gaga herself said
"I think re-releases are unfair, [...] it's artists sneaking singles onto an already finished piece of work in an effort to keep the album afloat. Originally [my label] only wanted me to put out three songs and now it's much more than that. It’s a new album’s worth of material."
"In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album, [...] I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn't need The Fame."
I actually took a detour home from the movies last night so I could listen to more.
