Britney Spears Gives Us a Peek Of New Single

 

It seems our pop princess, Britney Spears, is at it again - this time revealing a five-second trailer for her new video, which made its' premiere on YouTube Friday, with the promise of daily snippets to be released over the next two weeks.

In the first 5 second clip from Hold It Against Me, we see our Ms. Brit in a ball gown before a wall of TV monitors, with a message at the end which tells us: "13 Days to Go."

The full video will be released on February 17.

This is Spears' first single since 2009, and is the lead single from her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, which is scheduled to be released in March. 

The lyrics include:

"If I feel my heart was beating loud/If we could escape the crowd somehow/If I said I want your body now/Would you hold it against me." 

Britney Spears Wont Perform at Grammy Awards

If you've been wondering whether pop princess Britney Spears has her heart set on taking the stage for a performance at this years Grammy Awards show, it looks like the answer is, "No."

Contrary to an earlier rumored report that Spears would be performing during the February 13th awards telecast, which airs live on CBS from the LA Staples Center, Jive Records has jumped in to set the record straight, stating those reports are not true; Spears has no plans to perform.

Aw...shucks.

Eminem is Best Selling Artist of the Decade

Rapper Eminem was the best-selling artist of the last decade, beating out The Beatles and country music star Tim McGraw. 

The Detroit Free Press said Sunday that Eminem sold a total of 32.2 million albums during the last 10 years, thanks to hits like Lose Yourself, which topped the Billboard's Hot 100 for three months.

The rapper, whose origins can be traced to the Detroit area, easily defeated The Beatles for the decade's album sales crown; the famed British band earned 29.9 million album sales total.

Country music singers Tim McGraw and Toby Keith came in third and fourth on the album sales list with 24.6 million and 24.4 million albums sold. 

Fifth place went to pop princess Britney Spears with 22.9 million and country music placed another star in the top spots with Kenny Chesney in sixth with 21.96 million.

The Free Press said the remaining spots went to Linkin Park in seventh with 21.4 million, rapper Nelly in eighth with 21.2 million, Creed in ninth with 20.5 million and 10th place going to rapper Jay-Z, with 20.3 million album sales

Spears Fans Disgusted, Leave Concert Early

Fans of Britney Spears may not be fans much longer, especially since those who attended her concert on Friday night in Perth, Australia, were so disgusted with her mediocre performance that they stormed out, insisting that Spears was too terrible to watch.

Some fans paid upwards of $200.00 per ticket.

The mass exodus began after Spears had just three songs under her belt, and fans say they were unhappy with her pitiful performance and lip-synching. 

One fan told the Sydney Daily Telegraph that the concert was "crap," and said Spears "let them down."  Other concert goers complained that they were unable to see Spears on massive screens above the stage because she performed most of her songs with her back to the cameras.

Friday night's outrage came just 24 hours after Virginia Judge, the New South Wales Minister for Fair Trading, urged ticket agencies to warn fans about touring stars who don't sing live.  Taking aim at Spears in particular, Judge said:

"Live means live. If you are spending up to $200, I think you deserve better than a film clip. The NSW Government would be happy to look at options, such as a disclaimer on a ticket which would warn consumers a performance is pre-recorded."
