BRITNEY SPEARS DEBUTS AT #1 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100...AGAIN

Britney is once again on fire!! Her latest single, Hold It Against Me, has become only the 18th song in the 52-year history of the Billboard charts, and the second artist to debut at the top more than once!! (Fatriah Scary has done it thrice) Britney last rocketed straight to #1 with her single 3 back in October of 2009. The song boasts 411,000 digital downloads in it's first week. Damn, girl. I do have to say that the concept of the word play in the song is not original. There was a song from the late 70s called If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me by the Bellamy Brothers. Max Martin, the writer, is certainly old enough to remember that song. Hmmmm.... royalties anyone? Ha. They are not even close to sounding the same, but it's worth mentioning. Listen to both below.
