There has been so many rumours and incorrect reports surrounding the new Britney Spears single. However, what is officially true is that the 29-year-old held dancing auditions yesterday (December 22nd) for the music video of her new single ‘Hold It Against Me’. The music video is being choreographed by Britney’s pal Brian Friedman who has been sprouting off about yesterday’s casting on his twitter.

Friedman, who also choreographs on the UK X Factor, previously choreographed the singer’s visuals for ‘Toxic’ and ‘Me Against the Music’. In fact, one attendee at the audition described the routine as “Slave 4 U/Toxic/MATM type choreography”. A staggering 5,000 people is said to have attended the audition. ‘Hold It Against Me’, which is produced by Max Martin and Dr Luke, is set to exclusively premiere in January. The new album is scheduled to follow in March. Check out a photo below of yesterday’s casting.

this had better not be a takeoff of "if I told you you have a beautiful body"

...it probably is

ugh not max martin & dr. luke

it's britney spears, max is kind of a given, no?

it will probably be some childish sexual innuendo like they did for "3" and "If U Seek Amy". :/

she should just work with bloodshy & avant

+ danja

There has been so many rumours and incorrect reports

is this an official press release

christ

lol no

At No. 1 on Digital Songs, Bruno Mars' "Grenade" sells 559,000 downloads (up 164%) -- the third biggest sales week for a digital song in history. Right behind him this week at No. 2 is Katy Perry's "Firework" with 509,000 (up 165%) -- the fourth largest frame ever.

fuckin gift cards man

i'm beginning to think that "grenade" is a near classic tbh

so top 10 is:

1 Grenade
2 Firework
3 We R Who We R
4 What's My Name
5 Raise Your Glass
6 Black & Yellow
7 Tonight (I'm Fucking You) *smh at this*
8 Bottoms Up
9 The Time (Dirty Bit)
10 Just the Way You Are

really happy about wiz finally breaking the top 10

i have no beef with "grenade"

but like oh hey, a rap song that is actually a rap song in the top 10. never thought i'd see that.

i guess "6 foot 7 foot" was in the top ten last week. that's good too.

but it doesn't feel like nearly as much of a huge hit as b&y does

i thought it was called 6'7" but i'm seeing it listed as six foot seven foot everywhere, which kind of makes no sense

the sample goes "6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot, hut"

i feel like "bottoms up" hasn't dipped below #11 for two months or something

def happy for wiz

the sample goes "6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot, hut"

ha i can't even remember how it goes. haven't listened since that first underwhelming time.

and you're probably seeing it called that because that's what it's called.

yeah, "bottoms up" feels like it's been huge but really has just kinda been hanging there

the first single cover probably threw some ppl off

ah, hadn't seen that

it's sort of minor i guess but i like that it's called "six foot seven foot" instead of "6' 7"" -- the former sort of leans more on wayne's lovable playful side as opposed to generic swagger stuff

really happy about wiz finally breaking the top 10

lol @ finally -- a rap song with no R&B singer by a rapper who's never had a major chart hit before rising to the top 10 about two months after the song's release is pretty damn fast.

it had been hanging just outside the top 10 for 2 or 3 weeks.

LEX: Chery Lloyd signed to Roc Nation!

yeah just saw! hoping it's true, there are always so many rumours doing the rounds about x factor contestants and roc nation would have had to buy her out of the syco deal :/

will.i.am tweeted that he'd recorded a song with cher while he was in london, too

Yeah, Jordan, and others who commented, very much welcome with any contribution at all over at the dedicated k thread.

i don't see the two or so rap songs getting plays from pop stations as being a new renaissance for the genre or anything though -- rap still has an audience and might be integrated with the current aesthetic but i doubt it'll ever again be the driving force it was in the 00s

i don't think anyone claimed that?

just saying, it seems to be a popular sentiment among the fratboy demographic that wiz and kid cudi are part of a "new movement" in rap which i don't think will manifest itself in any real sense
