BRITNEY SPEARS SHATTERS RECORDS WITH
“HOLD IT AGAINST ME”
#1 On iTunes Songs Chart
Sets New One-Day Precedent As Single Tops Charts Within Hours Of Its Release
New York, NY - Perhaps USA Today sums it up best, "Spears’ new single delivers enough dizzying dance-pop ecstasy to ensure another chart-topping ride...”
Following the digital release of "Hold It Against Me" on Monday, 1/10/11, Britney Spears shatters all previous records for the most number of spins for a first or one-day at both Mediabase and BDS, according to one of the radio industry’s top analysts Kevin McCabe, founding principal of Musicrunch.
“Top 40 outlets across the country immediately put 'Hold It Against Me' in rotation and received instant-reaction airplay at America's most-influential stations including Z100 and WXRK in New York and KIIS and KAMP in Los Angeles,” states McCabe.
Sharon Dastur, program director for New York’s Z100, one of the top influential pop radio stations in the country says, "Ever since we played it yesterday, the reaction has been phenomenal. The audience loves it!"
In addition to the overwhelming fan response at radio, the sales story is also impressive; in less than a day of its release, "Hold It Against Me" is the #1 Song on iTunes.
Britney had 619 spins at Mediabase in what was only a partial day of spins for Monday, 1/10/11. At BDS, Britney had 595 first or one-day spins - also on a partial day's worth of airplay. Britney's big one-day powered her onto the BDS one-day building chart at 16* and perhaps even more impressive was her audience debut at 7*.
As expected, Spears is also a trending topic on twitter worldwide.

“if I said my heart was beating loud/If we could escape the crowd somehow/If I said I want your body now/Would you hold it against me?” Britney sings over a fist-pumping dance beat in this pulsating melodic come-on.
The song just hit iTunes late Monday night, where its available exclusively until next week, and it’s already #1 in countries like the U.S., Italy, France, Greece, Mexico, Norway, Spain and Sweden, among others.
The song also had radio’s biggest debut yet. It earned over 700 spins in just one day, beating out recent first single debuts from her peers like Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In the World). It’s also one of the biggest radio days for any song, period.
“Hold It Against Me,” produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke, is the first taste of Britney’s seventh as-yet-untitled seventh album. It’s the first since 2008’s “Circus,” which yielded the #1 hit “Womanizer.”
The album is set to hit stores on March 15th. Along with “Hold It Against Me,” it’s also said to feature the another Martin-production “I I I Wanna Go,” among others.
