Bonus track什麼意思

"Bonus track" is a term used in the music industry to describe additional songs that are included on a recording that are not part of the main album. These tracks are typically included as a "bonus" for buyers and are not counted as part of the standard track listing.

Bonus tracks can be included on physical CDs, vinyl records, or digital releases, and they are often found on deluxe or special edition versions of albums. They can be previously unreleased songs, remixes, live recordings, or demo versions of songs that were not included on the original album.

The inclusion of bonus tracks is a marketing strategy that is used to encourage fans to purchase the deluxe edition of an album, as it offers additional content that is not available on the standard version. Bonus tracks can also be used to promote an artist or a band by including remixes or collaborations with other artists.
