Madonna fans will have to wait until November to buy her new long-awaited single – however we are giving you the opportunity to get a sneak preview.
Hung Up is the sexy singer’s first track since her horse riding accident in August, and you can listen by clicking on the links below.
She will give the first worldwide live TV performance of Hung Up at next month’s MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon on November 3 – 11 days before her new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, is released.
MTV spokeswoman Harriett Brand insists the organisers are thrilled the pop queen has chosen the ceremony to showcase her first new material since 2003.
Harriett said: “Madonna is the world’s most celebrated artist and we are delighted she will be joining us in Lisbon.
“Her performance of Hung Up will deliver one of the most memorable moments of this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards.”

Madonna has been talking up the mystical form of Judaism to the already-spiritual talk-show queen for two years, in hopes that her fellow icon could help bring the Artist Occasionally Known as Esther’s belief system to mainstream America, according to our source.
The U.K.-based pop star has sent Oprah books and E-mails about kabbala, a spy tells us, but Angela De Paul in Oprah’s office told us she wasn’t aware that her boss had received any of the red-string propaganda.
In a country where conservative Christians have shown their might in recent years, an endorsement of kabbala by Winfrey, who has 9 million loyal viewers, would have a powerful effect. Her seal of approval has boosted everything from book sales to her own upcoming Broadway musical, “The Color Purple.”
Madonna knows that, and that’s why she’s chosen Oprah’s show for her first interview since she took a tumble off a horse, our source says.
Her Madgesty’s reportedly going to let Oprah bring cameras into her British country manor to see how the other 0.000001% lives, and she’ll also perform two numbers from her upcoming CD, “Confessions on a Dancefloor.”
For those who crave more, the diva’s designing her own iPod, loaded with every recording she’s ever made, and – call out the New York faithful – she’s planning a concert here for MTV, sources tell us.

Pop superstar Madonna has turned down the chance to perform for British monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
The British-based singer was invited to sing at this year’s (05) Royal Variety Performance – an annual charity show featuring host of big UK stars that has been put on, in the presence of the reigning monarch since 1912.
But Madonna isn’t interested in the show, which will take place in Cardiff, Wales, next month (NOV05), because it’s “too old fashioned”.

Madonna has sent newlyweds Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher his ‘n’ hers bracelets as a wedding gift.
The pop queen sent the matching jewellery, worth £5,000 each, to her fellow Kabbalah followers to apologise for missing their recent nuptials.
Madonna was invited to the couple’s Kabbalah-themed wedding, but couldn’t go because she was still in pain from her recent horse-riding accident.
Demi and Ashton wed last month in a “last-minute” ceremony a private Beverly Hills home.
The ceremony was blessed by Kabbalah rabbi Eitan Yardeni and Ashton cried when the couple exchanged vows they had written themselves.
Demi’s ex-husband Bruce Willis was among the 100 guests, which also included her ‘Charlie’s Angels’ co-star Lucy Liu and Ashton’s ‘That 70s Show’ co-star Wilmer Valderrama.
Bruce and Demi’s three daughters, Rumer, 17, Scout, 14, and Tallulah, 11, were also in attendance.
This is the third time Demi has walked down the aisle – as well as being married to Bruce, who she split from in 1998, the stunning actress previously wed singer Freddie Moore.
