Madge Vs. Bey: Madge Still Ahead
A year ago, Beyonce stealth-released an entire album, replete with videos. Madonna wasn’t able to manage the same: her next album isn’t due until March, but you can listen to the first six tracks now. Over the weekend, the pop icon responded to a recent leak of unfinished demos from her forthcoming album, “Rebel Heart,” by releasing several tracks ahead of schedule. I’d say in the Bey vs. Madge sweepstakes, the latter is still way ahead. She’s been in the game successfully for three decades and has way more money as a result. She’s also way ahead in the cosmetic-surgery sweepstakes. Of course, the true comparison would be between Madge now and Bey fifteen years from now.
