The song "Cry" was released on international versions of the album and is a UK and Australian bonus track on the re-release. The re-release made the album soar from 124 to 7 on the Billboard 200, selling 63,000 copies and having a 930% sales increases.[5] iTunes has now removed the standard version of Good Girl Gone Bad and replaced it with the new reloaded version. In France the album soared from 141 to forty-three having the greatest gainer of the week.[6] In the UK it soared from number fifty-nine to number twelve having the "Greatest Gainer" certification, before rising to number five later on in its chart run.
