Merry Christmas! Madonna has made some appearances on some Dance / Electronic songs chart this week with some of the early-release tracks from her upcoming album Rebel Heart. No Hot 100 appearances yet, though. Also, "Living For Love" has been serviced to clubs already so we can expect to see a debut on the Club Play chart pretty soon!

Madonna Debuts Three Tracks on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart

A trio of tracks from her upcoming 'Rebel Heart' album debut days after their arrival.

Madonna catapults onto Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart with three tracks from her upcoming Rebel Heart album: "Bitch I'm Madonna" (No. 14), "Living for Love" (No. 16) and "Unapologetic Bitch" (No. 26).

The songs, available for instant download upon pre-ordering the album (due March 10) or as a la carte purchases, were made available digitally in a surprise move at midnight on Friday (Dec. 19), following massive demo leaks earlier in the week. (An additional 14 demos leaked on Dec. 23.) The songs soar onto the chart, therefore, on the strength of only a partial week of sales and with only small benefits from other metrics (streaming, radio airplay and club play).

The cuts mark Madonna's first entries on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, which premiered on Jan. 26, 2013.

Bow Down


I could barely sleep last night after downloading the six songs from REBEL HEART, Madonna's upcoming, sure-to-be-amazing album. I can barely deal with all the FLAWLESSNESS!! (That cover is gorgeous!) I don't have to say much about the music, you've all heard it. I love the direction she went in, hopefully some of the other leaked demos make it onto the album

LIVING FOR LOVE is apparently the first single (or buzz single?), it's not 100% clear, though Madonna did say in her statement last night that she originally planned for it to be the first single released on Valentine's Day. Of course, with the leak, she had to rush something out. At this point, she could change her mind about the first single when the album is officially launched.

Behold...The New Era is here!
