Yesterday we learned the wonderful news that Britney Spears‘s new single, 3, has debuted atop the Billboard magazine Hot 100 Singles Chart and today we get to see a bunch of fun photos from the set of the music video for this single. BritneySpears.com debuted a few behind the scenes photos, which you can see below, and issued a press release about Britney‘s latest #1 single and her upcoming Singles Collection release, which you can read here:

Britney Spears debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single “3,” making her the first artist to do so in over three years, Billboard magazine reports. The critically acclaimed single will also debut at #1 on the Billboard Digital charts. Rolling Stone Magazine called “3″ an “instant Britney classic,” and gave the hit a four-star review, building further anticipation for the release of her album The Singles Collection on Nov. 24. The song, recorded with hit maker Max Martin, trumped a title previous held by American Idol winner Taylor Hicks since 2006. Britney is the first artist outside of the American Idol camp to claim the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 since Lauren Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing”) in 1998, according to Billboard magazine. “I want to thank my fans for making “3″ the # 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100,” Britney said in response to the news. “I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world and I am so happy y’all love it because I do this all for you. I can’t wait till you see the video.” The video for “3″ will soon premiere on Britney.com, Britneyspears.com and her other official web properties. “3″ becomes the latest Britney classic and is the only new song to appear on The Singles Collection.

Ooooh, it looks like this music video is going to be FUN! I understand the choreography is going to be very upbeat and technical, something we haven’t seen from our dear Britney in some time. My fave of Britney’s videos are the ones where she is dancing her ass off. After the jump, check out a few more photos of Britney and her dancers on the set of the 3 music video shoot …

Sexay, sexay!! No word on when the video will be released but I suspect it’ll be ready by the time Britney Spears: The Singles Collection hits stores on November 24. Looooove it!!
