UPDATED: Now that “Touch My Body” has officially premiered on that Chicago radio station, here’s the link to the song.

 

Most hard core Mariah fans know that her first single “Touch My Body” off her upcoming album (renamed) E=MC², will debut today on a Chicago radio station between 4 and 5 PM.

But yesterday, a popular blogger got his hands on a snippet of the track and uploaded it to his Blogspot-hosted blog. Big mistake. Once the powers that be over at Mariah’s label found out about the unauthorized leak, the skies opened up and rained down on the poor blogger’s head.

The next thing the hapless blogger knew, his popular blog was deleted by Blogger.com. And just like that, all of his content, photos and advertisements were gone faster than you could say “Glitter flopped hard”.

Of course, as often happens when Blogger.com mistakenly – or deliberately – deletes a blog, some a-hole who was lying in wait for the name to become available – claimed the URL and is now pretending to be the blog owner and redirecting his traffic to another website.

Bloggers beware that if you host your popular blog for free on Blogger.com, your blog can be deleted without warning or, in this case, with warning.

Now all that’s left for the poor blog owner to do is appeal to Blogger.com to get his URL back – which isn’t likely to happen. In the meantime, I’m loving Mariah’s new track and I just might post a link to it since the weather forecast is calling for clear skies and zero percent chance of rain. :)
