"3" Really Is a Charm—Britney's Back on Top!
Courtesy Jive Records
Britney Spears has taken "3" to 1.
The pop tart's ode to ménage à trois has hit the public's sweet spot, coming in atop the Billboard singles charts and rather aptly giving Brit-Brit her third career No. 1.
"I want to thank my fans for making '3' the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100," she said.
Not to mention marking the first time in three years (can you spot the theme forming here?) that an artist has debuted in—and not been forced to make the slow climb into—the top spot. Clearly, when it comes to record busting, she doesn't do small: Spears is now also the first non-American Idol winner to reach the chart summit since 1998. (We hope you're proud of yourselves, Taylor Hicks fans.)
"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," Spears said. "I can't wait till you see the video."
The wait won't be long. Taking into consideration both her fans' buying power and her time-tested pop star formula, Spears knows that a successful Britney is a raunchy Britney. And judging by the steamy threesome-happy stills released this week, this is going to be one successful video.
