The big page one news in the music world today is the release of Britney Spears' new single, 3.
Britney Spears today releases her new single, 3. It's the only new song that will be on her upcoming greatest hits package to be released later in the year (well in time for the Holiday season of course).
It has to be said that the lyrics to 3 aren't exactly one of Shakepeare's sonnets:
1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
Countin'
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?
Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?
Maybe the reference to it being more fun with three is something to do with her supposed (OK, there was a very short lived rumor about it) dalliiance with Shannon Funk? And didn't Kevin Federline try to say something similar?
Or is this really stretching about what is, after all, simply another piece of bubble gum pop?
You can listen to Britney Spears' 3 (and see the full lyrics) here.
The background to the song and boxed set is:
Britney Spears released her new single, "3," on Tuesday morning (September 29). The song will be featured on her greatest hits album, The Singles Collection, due out on November 24. She's releasing the collection to celebrate her 10 years in the business since the release of her seminal first single, "... Baby One More Time."
And if you want the top end version for the holiday season you'd better start saving up now. Doesn't look like it's going to be cheap:
The Singles Collection will be available for purchase as a standard set and a packaged box set. The standard set will include 17 of her biggest hits, plus "3." The ultimate fan box set will contain all 29 of Spears' singles individually packaged in slip sleeves with their original artwork and B-sides or remixes. The box set will also include a DVD with all of Brit's videos from past to present and a photo booklet with various photos spanning her career. Spears released her first greatest-hits collection, My Prerogative, back in 2004.
