Madonna was planning to release the entire album in March, but changed directions after unfinished demos of 13 of the songs showed up online. In response six tracks from the album went up for sale on iTunes over the weekend. 

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