Last week we learned that Britney Spears would be releasing her first ever Singles Collection in November which will include a new single called 3, scheduled to premiere on radio tomorrow. Today we get our first look at the single cover artwork for 3:

Get ready to rise and shine tomorrow, B fans! Britney’s new single “3″ will premiere on NYC’s Z100 radio station tomorrow morning. If you miss it, you can listen to a clip of the smokin’ hot track by calling The B Line at (310) 341-4438. Also be on the lookout for a “3” music video, starring the one and only Ms. Spears. Oh, and yes, that is the official “3″ artwork. I dunno know about you, but I’M SO EXCITED!!! xx♥

Woot!! New Britney Spears music!! Are y’all ready?? I hope the song is a club-jammer cuz I’m really expecting a big, upbeat dance track. Max Martin, the writer of 3 and many of Britney‘s other big hit singles, usually brings the heat … I can’t wait to hear what 3 sounds like.

And speaking of Britney Spears: The Singles Collection, check out the tracklist for the disc after the jump …

BritneySpears.com has just been updated with the news that our dear Britney will be releasing her first Singles Collection (which, apparently, is different from a greatest hits collection … which she has previously released) in November. This Singles Collection will feature 17 singles in both a deluxe version and a standard version. The collection will also feature a new song titled 3 which will hit radio stations on September 29. Here is the full text of the press release announcement:

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of her debut on the music scene, Jive Records is releasing Britney Spears The Singles Collection on November 24. To launch the special package a brand new single entitled “3,” which Britney recently recorded with hitmaker Max Martin, will go to radio Tuesday, September 29. There will be two configurations of The Singles Collection; an ultimate fan box set and a standard version. The ultimate fan box set version of The Singles Collection will contain all 29 of her singles, including the new song “3.” Each disc will be packaged in its own slip sleeve case with original artwork, and will include an additional b-side or a remix of the track. The collection will include a DVD featuring all of Britney’s videos in chronological order. The ultimate fan box set will also include a special booklet featuring iconic images and fun facts about each track. The standard version of The Singles Collection will contain 17 of her chart topping favorites along with the new song “3,” all on one CD.

Um, yay? As I mentioned above … I’m not sure what makes Britney Spears: The Singles Collection any different than Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (except for the new singles that have been released since her greatest hits collection was released in 2004) but … it’s comin’! I’m most intrigued by this new single, written by Max Martin. Martin is responsible for writing some of Britney‘s biggest hit songs … I can’t wait to hear what 3 sounds like. But another collection of already released songs? Yeah … I’m not so sure. What do y’all think … will YOU be ponying up for this new collection of old songs?
