Britney Spears Reveals Art for New Single "3," Hitting Radio Tomorrow

Britney Spears is giving fans an early look at the artwork for her new single, "3," on her official Website. The tune — which was produced by hitmaker Max Martin — premieres tomorrow morning on New York's Z100. The cover is pretty simple — and nothing like the covers RS contributors dreamed up when the singer put out Blackout a few years ago. Check out those options here.

Britney's wild ride: her ups and downs in photos.

As Rolling Stone reported, "3" will appear on a best-of collection called The Singles Collection on November 24th — just in time for the Christmas rush and a week before Spears' 28th birthday. The singer spent her last birthday making a grand comeback on Good Morning America, performing "Womanizer" and "Circus" at New York's Big Apple Circus the day Circus dropped.

Spears performed the last date of most recent U.S. Circus tour last night in Vegas and special guest Lance Bass hopped onstage and was serenaded during "Breathe on Me." Spears spread the word via tweet: "My good friend Lance surprised me on stage last night for Breathe On Me. It was soo funny! Good to see you Lance! -Brit"

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
