Man Arrested Over Madonna Leak

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Leaks, Upcoming Releases, Pop,

A 31-year-old man Spanish man has been arrested over the leak of a new Madonna track. The suspect, identified only by the initials J.M.R., was arrested in the city of Zaragoza in northern Spain yesterday then subsequently charged and released, according to a police statement.

The leaked song, "Gimme All Your Love," surfaced online in November, greatly upsetting the singer and her team, with manager Guy Oseary urging fans to help track down the person responsible. He tweeted at the time, "Madonna told me this morning 'my true fans wouldn't do this'- whoever is responsible for this leak, we ask that you please stop (sic)! I'm very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!! (sic) We are asking that the fans please help us police any more leaks. We have a lot in store for you, but please respect the process (sic)."

Lawyers working for Madonna traced the leaked track to Spain and police said they found recordings of the song in a search of the suspect's belongings.

Madonna to Release Another Greatest Hits Compilation

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop,

Madonna may be 50, but she still has a lot to offer.

Eight years after releasing GHV2, the Queen of Pop is preparing to do it all over once again. Later this year, Madonna will release her third Best Of compilation. (The Immaculate Collection, released in 1990, was her first.) “We’re hoping to have a greatest hits package come out in September,” her rep stated.

The track list for the upcoming CD may be decided in part by fan suggestions. Earlier this week, Guy Oseary (Madonna’s manager) solicited comments via Twitter: “Working on Madonna’s greatest hits album.. any tracks that you think MUST be on?”

Oldies but goodies won’t be the only things included on the disc. Madonna plans on recording a few songs for the compilation as well.
