Is "Beam Me Up Scotty" an official single? (I realize that that's making less and less of a difference, but I still ponder these things for my P&J lists; I suppose it's also questionable now as to whether I'm still an official music critic.)

I guess! I think w/artists of Minaj's status, songs emerging on to the internet probably are deliberately leaked to build buzz, rather than the Ciara/Cassie situation of tracks unofficially leaking...a quick google seems to indicate that it first emerged in Nov 08 though.

Nov '08 on a leak is close enough to '09 for me.
