Mariah Carey’s new album ‘E=MC2’ got leaked onto the internet this past weekend. I’m not going to say where and how to download it but if you know you’re way around the cyber world, then you’ll figure it out. The leak kind of dampens the plans as Mariah’s album is supposed to come out on April 15th. Now that her music can be downloaded for free on the internet, I wonder if her fans will still buy her music. Considering that previews of Mariah’s music aren’t all good, I’m guessing her sales numbers would drop. That definitely sucks for her.

Kelly Clarkson recently talked about having four of her unfinished songs leaking onto the internet saying that it “sucks”. The four songs – ‘Close Your Eyes’, ‘Ready’, ‘One Day’ and ‘With a Little Bit of Luck’ – all have varying sound quality which indicates that they’re unfinished and at different stages of the recording process. Of the leaks, Kelly says “I write all the time - lots of stuff not meant to ever be released, just working on ideas. The fact that people have heard music that’s not ready yet sucks, but I hope they like it!” For the sake of her career, I hope a lot of people like it too.

Madonna’s new album isn’t expected to drop until well into the next year but that isn’t stopping Timbaland from leaking one of the songs that he worked on with the Queen of Pop. The producer played ‘4 Minutes to Save the World’ at the Jingle Ball in Philadelphia on Sunday night. I just hope that he got her permission to do so.

The song also features Justin Timberlake and it’s pretty hot. How could it not be when you’ve got all that great talent working on it? I’m also hoping that the finished version has a lot less of Timbaland though.
