She may move it up to February but I doubt it would be any sooner. Didn't she say there would be more to come in February anyway? I agree with what many said, the general, non-fan population doesn't really even know about the leaks. She should take her time and not be rushed.
-
I do wonder if she'll include Two Steps Behind Me on the album because as others have said it'll only fuel the media frenzy and the supposed rivalry between the two of them. I have to say though, the song is GOOD and it definitely should make the cut.
-
Listening to Two Steps Behind Me right now! I love it! I can't help but chuckle a little bit about it at the jabs she's taking at LG. It's a great song though! I stand amazed by the work Madonna has put into these songs.
-
I requested it but I'm not sure why...I don't listen to the radio. Guess I'll just stream it via youtube if that counts.
-
Just heard Never Let You Go. I like it. Again it goes into the list of the one of the better songs in the "leaked" collection. I'd like to see it make the final cut.
-
I voted someone in the innermost/trusted circle although I'm not really sure. I have a hard time believing someone from Gaga's camp would do this (not sure if this was a joke in the poll anyway), whatever the case the leaks have kind of helped Madonna because it got people talking about her and the new music.
-
It's great that she's getting good reviews for this collection. But in reading through some of them and the responses, Madonna almost always gets good reviews doesn't she? Oh and the review that mentioned MDNA felt like Madonna on autopilot was on point. That album was dreadful, I know many fans liked it but as a long time fan, I found it one disappointment after another. It was as though she was half-assing it the entire way. But now with this new album it feels like she has returned to form and I'm thrilled with it!
And how the hell is it that google will take you to this Friendman's article first? Something is weird about that! What a bastard! Did he pay google for that?
-
Ghosttown is overrated. Inside Out is MUCH better. As is Joan of Arc and Messiah.
But anyway it's great to see so many quality ballads on this album.
This!
-
Can't get this song out of my head. It's incredible.
For anyone who doesn't think this isn't first-single worthy, I LOVE this video of Living For Love being played at a club somewhere. The reaction is great and THAT beat drop is all kinds of
:wow: That is amazing! I love it! Love how the dance floor sang it with her. Hopefully she can get some longevity out of this song. It's definitely a grower.
-
First songs listened to today:
Beautiful Scars
Inside Out
I keep telling myself I'll stop listening to them because when the album is released and I own it, I want it to feel fresh again. But I can't stay away from those two songs!
-
BEAUTIFUL SCARS!!!!!!!!!
I'm OBSESSED!!!Ha! I've been replaying it all morning! It's been a great Christmas morning!

Can I ask all of you in this thread if you listen to the radio like you used to? I personally do not. I find the mainstream stations to be full of crappy music and then there are the 80s/90s stations and they're okay but they have a group of songs they play over and over and it makes me want to scream that there was more to those decades than those few songs they rotate nonstop.
It makes me wonder if the reason why she doesn't chart all that much anymore is because her fans have evolved past the radio. Like the response above, M fans are going to sit around and listen to the radio and request songs. Who has that kind of time?
-
Awesome!
Now can we talk about Beautiful Scars? Love this song!
Also there is a song called Body Shop that I'm digging right now as well. It reminds me a bit of Merril Bainbridge's one hit wonder, "Mouth".
Hope both of these songs make it to the final cut.
-
You know charts don't matter when a fucking nobody singing that Call me Maybe shit had the biggest hit in 2012 and she remains a fucking nobody.
This really gave me a good laugh! Love it and it's so on point too!
-
Of the initial 6 that have been released. This is my favorite. When I first heard it I thought it was one of the strangest songs I had ever heard. But it has grown on me and I'm really liking it now.
-
We will suffer for this!!! Ugh it's going to be miserable!!!
Funny! That makes us sound like bad children!
"Bad fans! Bad! Bad! Bad! Very bad fans!"

It was clearly stated that we should not ask for or share the actual songs, not that we couldn't discuss them. We were encouraged a few days ago to discuss them outside of this particular thread and 99% of forum members seemed to happily respect this, enthusiastically sharing thoughts on tracks within a few active threads with moderator involvement that only went so far as to flush out those who did solicit files.
The impression was left that it was indeed okay to talk about the new songs (which are easily obtained elsewhere all over the internet.) As of this past hour this is no longer the case. Got it. Which highlights one of the big issues here.
I realize the severity of what's happened, the vulnerable position it leaves the forum in and therefore the necessity to wipe out certain threads/posts. However, instead of completely and permanently deleting all record of an issue when one arises within a problematic thread, why not add it to a master list of things that are/aren't permissible in the Rebel Heart sub-forum for posterity and for those of us who aren't glued to the forum 24 hours a day or don't have time to wade through 50 pages of posts to find such statements? Otherwise, how can someone be expected to know and be considered "illiterate" just because something that was okay at three o'clock on Tuesday is suddenly punishable by death at noon on Wednesday?
It's irritating that we spent most of 2014 poring over thread after thread filled with hashtag speculation, fan art, fake song lyrics and stupid fucking pizza banter only to be muted once the real shit started surfacing.
Moderating can be a thankless, frustrating task but the forum would greatly benefit if more of an effort was made to keep everyone on the same page, yourselves included. Be clear and consistent and doing so without the insults would be a refreshing change. If nothing else it would illicit a more positive response and atmosphere instead of repeatedly making everyone feel like crap for caring about new Madonna music on a forum devoted to her. There are shit-stirrers and trolls, but there are also a lot of very loyal fans here who are understandably excited and can't navigate within rigid guidelines that change every five minutes with little-to-no documentation.
This! Nicely put!

I just like that she has that most top ten ever record and that no one else is within even ten of her (right?) unless it's someone dead. So if she scooted into the top ten for a week or two it would just extend that.
Good point! I'd love for her to widen that lead a bit more.
-
I guess it's not important as long as I like the songs. I've been of that belief since American Life. There were some really good songs on that album but the radio turned on her at that point. It would be great to see some of this stuff reach the general public though because some of the songs are THAT good.
Didn't someone say that they count streaming of a song on the charts now? Or did I dream that?
Whatever the case I feel M has done right by her fans with this collection and with there being so many songs I hope she releases single after single. Why the hell not?

Loving Two Steps Behind Me more and more. Not going to be able to get enough of this one! I said it before but it is amazing.
Saw her statement on facebook regarding defending her stolen work. The woman rocks!
