NY, Oct 04: A stream of Britney Spears' new single, "Me Against the Music" featuring Madonna, is available today (Oct. 3) to AOL members as part of the company's "First Listen" program. The single will serve as a milestone for the "First Listen" program, as it is the 100th track streamed in its 21-month existence. "Me Against the Music" is the lead track from the Jive Records artist's heavily anticipated fourth album, "Get in the Zone," due Nov. 18. The song was co-written by Spears and produced by Redzone.
Brandy's "What About Us?" in January 2002 became the first single offered to AOL users through the program, which streams world premieres of new music. Other prominent artists to be featured in the initiative include Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, 50 Cent, Dixie Chicks, Nelly, Josh Groban, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera.
"Get in the Zone" is the follow-up to Spears' 2001 album "Britney," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 4.2 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
