Over the weekend, Britney Spears (pictured) asked her followers on Twitter, "Who's ready for 1/11/11?" But luckily, impatient fans didn't have to wait one more day to hear her latest single, "Hold It Against Me," as it hit the airwaves Monday morning. The singer tweeted today, "Don't #HOLDITAGAINSTME for coming out early. I couldn't wait any longer. Hope you don't mind....."
While a demo had leaked late last week, Britney fans finally heard the real deal thanks to Ryan Seacrest who bragged, "We got it first!!" and alerted anxious listeners that, "u can listen here: http://on.fb.me/HoldIt or here: http://bit.ly/HoldIt2." Elsewhere on the radio dial, Carson Daly promised, "I'll play new @britneyspears 'Hold It Against Me' every hour this am." The song already gained some famous fans, including actor Colton Haynes who wrote, "@britneyspears #holditagainstme is a smash hit. Congrats."
