This weekend, the internet circulated a supposed leaked internal memo detailing Beyoncé's next album—an expanded version of last year's BEYONCÉ, which came out of nowhere (as far as the average civilian music fan was concerned) and with a video for each track. Per the document, which features the logos of Beyoncé's management company (Parkwood Entertainment) and the record label she is signed to (Columbia), a digital version will drop a week from Friday (Nov. 14), and a 4-disc physical set is due Nov. 25. The re-release will feature the original BEYONCÉ album, a new disc of 11 new songs (including the already released "***Flawless" remix with Nicki Minaj), a DVD of both albums' videos, a DVD of her Mrs. Carter concert, and a final DVD of her On the Run show with Jay Z.

But is it true? Billboard.com has laid out five reasons why it's plausible and five reasons why it isn't. Here are some more:

Why it seems like bullshit

- The "release confirmation" repeatedly refers to a four-disc set, but to include BEYONCÉ, BEYONCÉ Vol. 2, a disc of videos, and two discs of concerts, it would need to include five discs.

- Those song titles. "Renouncement"? "Sensation of Pain"? "Sweet Illusion"? Those...sound particularly dumb? But who knows, maybe in less than two weeks everyone will be singing, "Your love is like KO..."

- In an unprecedented move for a superstar of this caliber, Beyoncé's last album was released without any information about it at all leaking to the general public. Bey's camp pulled off a miracle by not leaving memos like the supposedly leaked document lying around. We're now to believe that they got lazy all of a sudden?

Why it seems legit

- No one from Beyoncé's camp has denied the rumored release.

- There is an Amazon UK listing for a 4-disc BEYONCÉ set that's supposed to be released on Nov. 25.

- There have been rumblings about a new surprise release from King Bey for a while now—I heard that she was going to drop a mixtape featuring rerubs along the lines of the "***Flawless" remix on her birthday in September. That never happened, so perhaps now we get this? The Billboard article suggests that the supposed upcoming Rihanna duet "Cherry" could be an update of "Blow," and "KO" is like "XO" but with a much lesser letter doing the steering.

Why I hope it's true

- Last year, Beyoncé swooped in with a fresh and audacious pop album that effectively erased the memory of the lackluster pop junk that was supposed to define the fourth quarter of 2013 (particularly that of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga). I would like for someone to do the same to Taylor Swift, who released 1989 last week. I want Beyoncé to annihilate Taylor Swift. I'll settle for hearing her do this figuratively, with music.
