If there’s one thing that’s become a necessary with Madonna, it’s to “never count her out”.

The Pop queen had been rocked by the multi-stage leak of her new album, ‘Rebel Heart’, months before its March 10th arrival.

And while she attempted to Olivia Pope the matter by rush-releasing six tracks to iTunes, the lack of buzz for lead single ‘Living For Love’ has had many worried given how close the LP’s release date now is.

Fans needn’t fret, though. Because the singer’s team have unveiled plans which should appease them two-fold.

Material Madge is heading out on a major tour and has unveiled a unique means of tying the trek to the new music. Details below…

The Hot 100 may not be living for Madonna‘s latest single “Living For Love,” but as her recent ascension to #1 on the Dance charts indicates, the clubs are eating it up.

No stranger to this particular perch, the Queen of Pop currently reigns as the chart’s champion with a whopping 44 leading titles to her name.  The feat not only extends her lead afront pop diva runner-ups Janet Jackson, Rihanna, and Beyonce, but also lands in her Billboard history books for an even greater achievement.

Let’s face it:  Madonna‘s ‘Living For Love’ is slowly, but surely, dying on pop charts.

The ‘Lucky Star’ singer, who’s notched five consecutive #1 albums since the turn of the century and a top ten single preceding four of those releases, may be seeing her luck run out as the tune has yet found footing inside the Billboard Hot 100.  This, despite a revolutionary rollout for the its official music video release and a much-talked about Grammy performance.

Then, as if it wasn’t already clinging to life, ‘Living for Love’ was dealt a crushing blow when reports surfaced indicating BBC Radio 1 blacklisted the tune for lacking “audience relevance” and “musical merit.”  Let us tell it, that’s just sugarcoat for “she’s too old and out of touch.”

Be that as it may, could the unceremonious exclusion be grounds for legal action?  Some stars seem to think yes. Tuck in below to hear their assessment and tell us if you agree:

That Babs reign just will not let up.

For, over 50 years after her debut album, Barbra Streisand saw her September 2014-released, #1 album ‘Partners’ deliver one of the year’s highest first week sales for a female – a feat all the more impressive as it was accompanied with news that it was her 10th chart-topper on the tally.

Extending her lead from nearest competitor Madonna (who has 8 number 1 albums), reports surfaced today that the album’s newly established platinum certification has helped her leave three other top-selling divas in the dust – Reba McEntire, Madonna and Mariah Carey.

With 30 years of success under her belt, Madonna has undoubtedly mastered the art of longevity. The Pop queen has also established herself as a skilled shade-thrower – just check her receipts.

The alleged latest was printed last night on Instagram and was aimed at Lady GaGa.

As earlier reported, Madge sent social media overdrive when a new leaked song titled ‘Two Steps Behind’ surfaced bearing lyrics that seemed geared at GaGa (who she has publicly labelled “reductive” in the past).

Despite denying the claims, the 56-year-old appears to be back to her tricks.

Madonna can’t seem to catch a break these days. Not even over the holidays.

Despite her heartiest efforts to “spin” the multitude of leaks that have plagued her 13th studio album, ‘Rebel Heart’, new songs from the project’s recording sessions keep drip-dropping their way online.

The latest trio of tracks arrived yesterday (following the surfacing of 14 cuts last week) under the titles ‘Never Let You Go’, ‘Arioso’ and ‘Two Steps Behind Me’. According to reports the latter was aimed at long-time rival Lady GaGa – although Madge has gone on to deny.

Peep the lyrics, the Material Girl’s response to the claims, and GaGa’s interestingly timed Instagram post below…
