The iconic singer had no plans of releasing her 13th studio album, Rebel Heart, until spring 2015, but because leakers spilled the beans already, the Queen of Pop decided to counter them by releasing the follow-up to 2012's MDNA.

"I was hoping to release my new single 'Living for Love' on Valentine's Day with the rest of the album coming in the spring," the singer said in a statement.

"I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift."

Among the released songs included "Living for Love," "Ghosttown," "Devil Pray," "Illuminati," "Unapologetic Bitch" and "Bitch I'm Madonna," featuring Nicki Minaj.

Madonna, Diplo, Kanye West, Billboard, Dahi and Blood Diamonds, were among the producers./

The songstress took to Instagram her anger over the leak of her songs.

"This is artistic rape!! These are early leaked demo's half of which won't even make it on my album the other half have changed and evolved. This is a form of terrorism. Wtf!!!! Why do people want to destroy artistic process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?"

The post had since been deleted.

She also explained in an earlier post that the songs that are now available are "unfinished demos stolen long ago."

The "Like A Virgin" star has nothing but only thanks and admiration to her fans who did not listen to the tracks.

"Thank you for not listening! Thank you for your loyalty! Thank you for waiting and if you have heard please know they are unfinished demos stolen long ago and not ready to be presented to the world," Madonna said. 

Rebel Heart will be available for purchase by March while more songs will follow Feb. 9.
