First, several demo tracks from her forthcoming album were leaked over the internet and then, the six songs she made available on iTunes took a nosedive in sales.
Madonna was in fighting mood as she took to social media to vent her outrage on Saturday over what she called 'a world that discriminates against women.'
The 56-year-old singer posted a lengthy tirade along with a close-up snap of her with a plug stopping her red lipsticked mouth and fixed to a gold link chain.

Can't 'shut me up': Madonna vented her rage over 'a world that discriminates against women' on Saturday via this social media portrait and a message
Her light blonde hair was swept back from her flawlessly pretty face, while her steely blue gaze was directed upwards.
'Their are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! (sic)' Madonna captioned the bizarre picture, ranting: 'We still live in a world that discriminates against women.
'Their are People that are so hateful. they want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and i never have!
'The World is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days!'
Fighting words: The original Material Girl put up her fists to 'people that are so hateful'
Smoking hot: The 56-year-old singer was perhaps hoping to reignite waning interest in the six new songs she released on iTunes with this cleavage-baring photo
'I come with a a lot of baggage': Madonna shared lyrics from her song Unapologetic B***ch and another dramatic image of her lugging a chic tote
She also posted a cleavage-baring photo of herself alongside lyrics from her reggae-inspired song Unapologetic B***ch: ' When we did it. I ll admit it. Wasn't satisfied.'
'I come with a a lot of baggage,' Madonna tweeted, along with a black-and-white picture of herself in a monochrome-print dress and dragging a big black tote.
Last week, Madonna released six new tracks from her forthcoming LP that were made available on iTunes, but they have suffered a dramatic dip in sales just one week later.
Madonna's move was to counter-attack the illegal distribution of 13 unfinished and, one week later, 14 completed tracks from new album Rebel Heart, her first release in three years.
The early availability of six tracks from her 13th album initially soared to the top of the iTunes chart, but then they quickly plummeted down the top 100, with Nicki Minaj collaboration B**ch I’m Madonna hovering at number 188.
Plummeting sales: Six new tracks from Madonna's forthcoming thirteenth album, Rebel Heart. have dropped out of the iTunes top 100, one week after their early release
Meanwhile Living For Love, thought to be the album’s lead single, has fared worse on Amazon, where it languishes at number 529.
The poor sales have prompted concern ahead of Rebel Heart’s planned release next March, with the album currently at number 38 in iTunes pre-orders and a worrying 167 on Amazon.
After three decades of pop domination Madonna’s album sales have declined over recent years, with American Life (2003), Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA (2012) all failing to hit the critical and commercial highs of earlier releases.
Struggling: The dip in sales has prompted concern ahead of the new album's release on March 10, 2015
It’s understood that the entertainer is failing to attract a new generation of fans, while the older generation are less interested in her newer material.
Following the album leak earlier this month an enraged Madonna took to Instagram, where she likened the incident to ‘terrorism.’
'This is artistic rape!!' she cried out in a post that has since been taken down.
'These are early leaked demo's half of which wont 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?'
Rebel Heart is expected to be released on March 10, 2015.
