Agreed

Hold It Against Me is now the most played song on radio in a single day in America. It's beat Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together' which held the previous record with 450 spins. Just amazing, this era is going to be brilliant for her. 2011 is gunna be her year.

['Conor]

Love her new song :d

[Callum]

I heard that, would be great to see her perform but no doubt she'd lipsync and she would get so much critiscm

I also heard she may be performing at the BRITs and that's why the UK release date is so later than every other country, would love that.

New York, NY - Perhaps USA Today sums it up best, "Spears' new single delivers enough dizzying dance-pop ecstasy to ensure another chart-topping ride..."

Following the digital release of "Hold It Against Me" on Monday, 1/10/11, Britney Spears shatters all previous records for the most number of spins for a first or one-day at both Mediabase and BDS, according to one of the radio industry's top analysts Kevin McCabe, founding principal of Musicrunch.

"Top 40 outlets across the country immediately put 'Hold It Against Me' in rotation and received instant-reaction airplay at America's most-influential stations including Z100 and WXRK in New York and KIIS and KAMP in Los Angeles," states McCabe.

Sharon Dastur, program director for New York's Z100, one of the top influential pop radio stations in the country says, "Ever since we played it yesterday, the reaction has been phenomenal. The audience loves it!"

In addition to the overwhelming fan response at radio, the sales story is also impressive; in less than a day of its release, "Hold It Against Me" is the #1 Song on iTunes.

Britney had 619 spins at Mediabase in what was only a partial day of spins for Monday, 1/10/11. At BDS, Britney had 595 first or one-day spins - also on a partial day's worth of airplay. Britney's big one-day powered her onto the BDS one-day building chart at 16* and perhaps even more impressive was her audience debut at 7*.

As expected, Spears is also a trending topic on twitter worldwide.

Amazing!!! I can see this having quite a long stint at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 tbh

['Conor]

so is it gonna be No.1 in US?

[Vladimir]

^Hopefully. She needs to sell about 300k-400k copies this week.

['Conor]

Hit No.1 in Ireland, so its currently No.1 in 17 countries on iTunes all over the world

[Callum]

Amazing!!

[M X]

In love with Hold It Against Me!

She's seriously doing so well atm!

[Callum]

HIAM debuted at #1 in America Biggest first week sales for a female artist ever!

She finished Day 1 of the video today too, it's directed by Jonas Akerlund (Lady Gaga's Paparazzi) so it should be amazing!

*walks in*

Hai.
I don't usually come in here much, but I just found this on YouTube and it brought back memories, do any of you Britney fans love it too?

Youtube video

HIAM video looks hot!!



Sort of reminds me of the video for Girls Aloud's 'Untouchable' for some reason

[letmein]

The song is so crap though.

She really hasn't broken any records with it. That's just her people's spin. You need to read between the lines.

Her heyday is pretty much over.

After her album's released, she'll disappear again. I don't even think she wants to do this anymore. Her father is still in control of her life. Sad that's she's almost 30, and can't take care of herself.

Album being released 15th March

Britney Spears' new album is slated for a Mar. 15 release, according to a leaked one-sheet created by her label Jive Records that outlines the marketing campaign for the set. Jive confirmed to MTV News that the date listed on the sheet is accurate.

Also confirmed are various producers and songwriters who worked on the album, which still does not have a title. In addition to Dr. Luke and Max Martin -- who together helmed lead single "Hold It Against Me" and are the album's co-executive producers -- Rodney Jerkins, R&B singer Avant, Stargate, Fraser T. Smith and Bloodshy are listed as collaborators.

Other details mentioned on the sales-solicitation sheet include a description of Britney's highly-anticipated music video for "Hold It Against Me," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week. The one-sheet sums up the video as "a sexy, edgy dance piece directed by Jonas Akerlund and showing Britney at peak form and ability."

Spears seventh studio album, the follow-up to 2008's Circus, will be available in both standard and deluxe versions, according to the sheet, with the latter including additional liner booklet pages and three or four extra tracks. Fans can also expect "a major TV event to launch the album," worldwide online contests and a "LGBT/lifestyle campaign" to market it to fans.

Spears' manager, Adam Leber, recently spilled a few details involving her photo shoot for the album via Twitter, describing the shoot as "pure glam." Fans should be on high alert for another leak, as Leber added, "Photos are nothing less than spectacular. We'll share some soon."

Exciting!
