Disco Heaven and iTunes exclusive versions

Unlike what the article says, the 'iTunes exclusive' edition featuring "Disco Heaven" actually isn't exclusive to iTunes. This edition can be found on Spotify and also has auto-generated audio videos on YouTube, with both the blue and red covers. The same goes for the reissue with The Fame Monster, which also has an edition with "Disco Heaven" as the only bonus track, erroneously marked as iTunes exclusive on the Wikipedia article again.

The 'Canadian iTunes and Australasian' version featuring "I Like It Rough" as a bonus track is also available, as I learned through a Reddit post listing different editions of The Fame on Spotify.

Ukrainian edition

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

(I'm the same person who added the last topic about Disco Heaven. IP addresses change all the time.)

Some Lady Gaga collector's websites show a version of The Fame with the Canadian tracklist and "I Like It Rough" as a bonus track (the same as the 'International Version' on Spotify). Referred to as the Ukrainian edition, it has a different image on the back and a typo of "Poker Face" ("Pocker Face"). A single Google search reveals there are even unboxing videos of this edition on YouTube. 84.65.8.65 (talk) 13:00, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
