Melanie Martinez’s debut album Cry Baby has remarkably kept growing in stature since its 2015 release, now approaching its high-water mark of 1 BILLION global audio streams for the second consecutive year.
The RIAA recently re-certified the record at 2× platinum, in large part due to TikTok trending moments for several of the album’s tracks. These trending moments, occurring over the course of 2020–1, most notably included the digital bonus cut “Play Date,” which became a TikTok phenomenon and is now Melanie’s most popular song with over 700M streams.
On this expanded deluxe edition, “Play Date” and 2 additional digital bonus tracks (“Teddy Bear” and “Cake”) are – for the first time – added to the original, standard vinyl album. These songs were only previously available on vinyl on the now out-of-print, limited edition Extra Clutter EP from 2016.
Pressed on limited baby blue coloured vinyl, with an expanded booklet featuring 3 new illustrations for the 3 bonus tracks.
