New Music Tuesday: Madonna + JT

"4 Minutes to Save the World"
Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake & Timbaland

The first single from Madonna's upcoming album, Hard Candy, officially hit shelves today -- and it's shaping up to be a hit. Radio stations have only had the song for seven days, and it's already received a staggering 25 million spins nationwide.

"It doesn't take anywhere close to '4 Minutes' to realize that Madonna is poised to score her first top 10 hit since 2005's 'Hung Up," predicts Chuck Taylor of Billboard Magazine.

"There's an awful lot going on in the busy dance track: sing-song verses, insistent foghorns, cowbells, chants of 'tick-tock' and a rap from Timbaland—but the trade-off chorus between Madge and Justin of 'We've only got four minutes to save the world' is hooky enough unto itself to sell the song."


Other new albums out today:
  • Gnarls Barkley -- The Odd Couple
  • Counting Crows -- Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings
  • Panic at the Disco -- Pretty. Odd.
  • The B-52's -- Funplex
  • Morrissey -- Greatest Hits
