Late yesterday, Britney Spears posted an announcement on her official Twitter profile about the release of new next album. As you may recall, we learned that our dear Britney‘s new album will be released in March of 2011. Additionally, Britney tweeted about her personal relationship with Jason Trawick for the first time. I want to share one more tweet with all y’all that Britney posted yesterday … this message is directed toward the people responsible for circulating a heinous rumor about her this week:

LOL!! I’m not even going to get into the idiotic rumors so let’s move on, shall we? Now that we know that Britney‘s album is due for release in March (a mere 3 months away), it’s time to put our focus on the release of the album’s first single. According to a new report, rumor has it that Britney‘s new single will be released the first week of January! Read all the deets as reported, after the jump …

Not finished celebrating Britmas yet? Good. While some might call this vague speculation, you should know that I wouldn’t post an Excluusive unless I’ve been told something on very solid, reliable authority. Plus: I don’t fuck around when it comes to Godney Spears. The first single from Britney’s as-of-yet untitled seventh studio album will be released in the first week of January. More specifically, I’m hearing Friday, January 7. That’s honestly just the beginning–but I can say no more. I’m sorry!

Who knows if this information is actually true or not but it would make sense for Britney to drop a single sooner rather than later. I’ve pretty much given up hope that we’ll hear new music in 2010 … but January does make sense. Even if the single doesn’t come out the first week of January, it will likely come out with plenty of time to burn up the airwaves and storm the music charts to generate hype for the album’s release in March. The countdown has begun … it’s only a matter of time now before we are blessed with new music for our dear Britney.
