With all the
In Rainbows talk that's been flying around the office, we completely forgot to check in on
Britney Spears yesterday, so to make amends, we present a trio of Brit stories. Spears' label Jive Records, who were tightlipped about
Blackout's actual tracklist, were undermined by parent company Sony BMG's German division after they
revealed the running order of songs on the European disc, which will probably echo the American version. If the tracklist is to be believed, only two of the twelve songs have not yet been leaked in some capacity.
Speaking of the leak, Spears' copyright holders Zomba Recordings are
suing gossip Web guru Perez Hilton for “illegally obtaining and posting recordings” from
Blackout, which eventually led to the album' release date to be
pushed up from November 13th to October 30th. Meanwhile, Millenium dance studio owner Robert Baker told
Us Weekly that Britney has
booked a considerable amount of time in his studio for the coming months, which is Spears' “typical warm-up behavior” before setting off on tour. We imagine not having to play Mommy anymore has opened up Brit's concert calendar considerably.
