Madonna has confirmed that she will perform at this years BRIT Awards for the first time in twenty years.

She's set to release Living For Love in the UK that same week , so an appearance at the BRITS should boost her chances of a record breaking 14th UK Number 1. Her last uK chart topper came in 2008 with 4 Minutes.



It also emerged to day that after numerous previous leaks , the full version of forthcoming album Rebel Heart has unsurprisingly leaked in full , complete with five deluxe tracks.
The album , released March 10th , has flooded onto music sharing sites today, The Super deluxe tracks are
 Beautiful Scars
  Queen
  Borrowed Time
  Graffiti Heart
Autotune Baby
Addicted


Madonna has been plagued by leaks in the lead up to the albums release with six tracks having to be made available at Christmas. Just last month , the FBI and Israeli police arrested a person on suspicion of hacking the stars computer files.
This will come as  huge blow to Madonna , who discussed the recording and making of Rebel Heart , in an interview with this months MOJO magazine. Producer Diplo heaped praise on the singers incredible work ethic.

Rihanna premieres FourFiveSeconds video


Rihanna has released the minimalistic video for new track FourFiveSeconds , alongside Kanye West and Sir Paul McCartney.
The track which trails her forthcoming eighth studio album has already landed in the UK Top 5 this past weekend.



The black and white promo sees all three clad in denim , and harks back to the music videos of the mid 90's. Like the track itself , its simple and minimalist.
The track has received mixed reviews thus far but is a welcome change of pace for the Bajan singer. It signals perhaps a more mature sound on the new album and is a chilled if uneventful strum. No doubt , the trademark Rihanna bangers a la We Found Love and Only Girl are yet to come.
