In Europe, the bonus disc contained eleven tracks, adding another remix of 'Ghetto' as track one. In 2005, the album was reissued, this time with a bonus disc containing two brand new tracks, two remixes and six collaborations between Akon and other artists. The European version also removes the track 'I Wont' and replaces it with a brand new track, 'Easy Road'. For its release across Europe in late 2004, the album was completely altered, with remixes of 'Belly Dancer', 'Lonely' and 'Don't Give Up' replacing the original versions, issued in the US and UK. In Japan, the bonus tracks were the same, however, the track 'Ghetto' was once again omitted. In 2005, the UK version of the album was re-issued with additional bonus tracks 'Gunshot' and a remix of 'Locked Up'. The digital version of the US album includes the bonus track 'Kill The Dance'. When originally released in 2004, the UK version of the album contained thirteen tracks, whilst US versions of the album only contained twelve, omitting the song 'Ghetto'. Trouble is by far Akon's most successful album in the United Kingdom to date. It then spent two non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the UK Album Chart. It slowly climbed up the chart before finally reaching the summit on April 30, 2005. The album first appeared on the UK Album Chart on February 12, 2005. I thought that was the place for us to start to get a fan-base, knowing that we had a record like 'Lonely', which was more commercial, to follow it.' The final appearance on the Billboard 200 was for the chart dated November 26, 2005.

Although ' Lonely' offered the album's best option in terms of commercial breakthrough, SRC Records A&R Jerome Foster told HitQuarters that ' Locked Up' was chosen because he wanted to break Akon in the streets first and work towards a cross-over.
