Madonna tries to do a Beyoncé with her new album...

As you probably already know, Madonna took the internet by storm this weekend, unexpectedly releasing SIX songs to iTunes off her upcoming new album ‘Rebel Heart.’ In order to get the songs, fans had to pre-order the album first. A large portion of her music leaked recently and she's already expressed her anger about it. So she's decided to take action and release six of the completed versions that got out prematurely.

The album will feature a lengthy NINETEEN tracks and will be released on March 10th. I guess that's one way to tackle piracy head on. However, one of the things that made Beyoncé's surprise release so effective is the fact that there were no leaks and nobody even saw it coming. It was like a bolt from out of the blue. By the way, her official album cover (left) is pretty kick ass and dare I say it, the songs don't sound that bad either. You can stream all six songs, including the Nicki Minaj assisted 'Bitch I'm Madonna' and her new single 'Living For Love,' by clicking here. How are you feeling about her new songs?
