Previously Unreleased Madonna Song Leaked

(Radio.com) Even die-hard Madonna fans likely failed to notice the recent appearance of a previously unreleased song by the pop music legend. But don't go looking for it online.

Shortly after it was posted on iTunes over the weekend, the track, "Behind Me," disappeared as mysteriously as it surfaced. The cut, which features an artist named Guido Dos Santos, is believed to be a version of "Two Steps Behind Me," a demo Madonna tracked during sessions for 2015's Rebel Heart.

The song was originally believed to be a diss track aimed at Lady Gaga, however, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary refuted the rumor. Despite its short shelf life, "Behind Me" charted in the Top 50 in eight countries, reports NME. Read more here.

Niall Horan Reveals Release Timetable For Solo Album

(Radio.com) Ever since One Direction announced their hiatus last year, all five artists have been hard at work on their solo projects. Niall Horan has been teasing his fans with singles like "This Town" and "Slow Hands," but now it finally appears he is ready to unleash a full album.

"End of fall, start of winter," he said of his anticipated release date while speaking to Carson Daly on 97.1 AMP Radio. "I've decided to ride it out, see what happens, and then kind of let people know when I'm ready to go."

Horan's currently narrowing down a final tracklist after writing about 50 different songs. "My favorite song on the album was written while I was watching a golf tournament on TV," he revealed. 'I do write in the most random places, trains."

The singer-songwriter is no stranger to worldwide success, but even he was caught off guard by how well his music has been received. "I just released ['This Town'] to let people know that I was still doing something and it was the best of the bunch of songs I had at the time because I had only written a few at the time. And I just thought I'd release it and then it kind of took on a life of its own." Check out the full interview here.

Miley Cyrus Has Second Thoughts About 'Wrecking Ball' Video

(Radio.com) Miley Cyrus released "Wrecking Ball" in 2013, at the height of her provocative twerking-at-the-VMAs phase. During a recent interview, Miley said the video deserved to die (though it never will).

"That's something you can't take away. Swinging around naked on a wrecking ball lives forever," Cyrus said. "I'm never living ["Wrecking Ball"] down. I will always be the naked girl on a wrecking ball," she added.

"I should have thought how long that was going to have to follow me around. That's my worst nightmare, is that being played at my funeral." Read more here.

Singled Out: Half The Animal's Babylon

Laguna Beach band Half The Animal recently released their new EP "Shapes" and to celebrate we asked frontman Chase Johnson to tell us about the song "Babylon". Here is the story:

'Babylon' is a universally identifiable song. We all go through something(s) in life that seem like heaven at that time and end up crumbling right before us. Whether it be the struggle with drugs, booze, sex, family, love, etc.

After I had been through the thick of it and came out the other end swinging, I wanted to share that with everyone so that they could relate to it. Our favorite part about 'Babylon' is that you can twist it any way you want as an individual.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the EP right here!
