Britney Spears finally revealed the title of her upcoming album to the world, naming it “Femme Fatale.” Queen Britney took to Twitter earlier today, giving us the TwitPic of the “Femme Fatale” album cover and saying this about the upcoming album:

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years.  I’ve put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way!  I love you all! Sexy and Strong. Dangerous yet mysterious. Cool yet confident! “FEMME FATALE” March…..

So look for Brit’s upcoming album “Femme Fatale” to be released sometime in March.

If you’re a Britney fan and this news doesn’t make your day a whole lot better, you should probably check your pulse. Just sayin’.

What do you think of the title “Femme Fatale”? Let us know in the comments.

From what we’ve heard from the album so far, it’s clear that the Peas are going in a different direction with their music this time around. We’ll see how well that translates into album sales. For now, have a listen to “Light Up The Night” below and grab it over at iTunes if ya dig it.

He may still be in prison, but that isn’t stopping Lil’ Wayne from releasing a brand new album today–his birthday–titled I Am Not A Human Being. The album, which is a digital-only release, includes 10 new tracks from the prolific rapper, and is setting the net abuzz.

Listen to the track “Right Above It” featuring Drake below, the first single off of the I Am Not A Human Being album.

As Robyn promised, she plans to release 2 more albums this year alone. The second of the trilogy, Body Talk Pt. 2 is due out on September 6th and features a sped up single version of “Hang With Me,” which originally appeared on Body Talk Pt. 1 as an acoustic ballad. Sounds like a new dance jam to me. Check out the radio rip of the song below and be sure to look for it and Body Talk Pt. 2 very soon.

The Dixie Chicks are back with a new album after a fairly long quiet spell following a great deal of controversy. You might recall them having become the pariahs of the country music world when lead singer Natalie Maines publicly criticized then-president George W. Bush. The buzz on the Internets today is whether the old controversies have anything to do with the latest release being a duo effort by sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, with Maines nowhere to be found.

Wendy Geller says, in her piece for the Yahoo! music blogs:

Could the sisters be having a family collab just for the pure enjoyment of it? Or, is there a deeper meaning to the omission of their longtime pal and singer?

I, for one, am wondering if it’s a bit of both. If, maybe, the two are preferring a lower-key re-emergence into the spotlight…

There will be no escaping the endless questioning about you-know-what-and-whatnot, but perhaps leaving out Maines–who has, undoubtedly, painted herself into the catalyst corner of this entire saga–is the easiest way to get back to the basics.

Then again–it could very well be Maines herself who wishes to remain out of the spotlight for a little bit longer. As the center of the storm, she’s weathered the most criticism.

What do you think? Here’s the most controversial track from their last album, “Not Ready to Make Nice,” to refresh your memory…

A new clip has arrived for “On Fire,” Rebirth’s recent single that, as Rolling Stone previously reported, borrows its hook from the Scarface soundtrack’s “She’s On Fire.” The video, which appears to have been filmed during the same photo shoot that generated the Rebirth cover, was directed by Chris Robinson, according to Nah Right.

Here’s the video. What do you think?

Reports Billboard.biz:

Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” reigns for a sixth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 137,000 (down 73%) according to Nielsen SoundScan, bringing her cumulative sales total up to 3,104,000. However, while that is a huge sales sum — especially considering it was totaled in just six weeks time — it’s not enough to overtake Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” as 2009′s top selling album. The latter is at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling another
60,000 — bringing its 2009 total to 3,217,000.

Of course, Boyle can rest easy in knowing that her “Dream” is but one of just two albums to sell at least 3 million copies in the U.S. last year — something that hasn’t happened since 2006, when three albums did it. Boyle’s “Dream” is also 2009′s top selling album released last year (Swift’s “Fearless” dropped in late 2008), and was also the top selling physical album of 2009. Of its overall 2009 total, physical CDs accounted for 3,019,000 copies, whereas digital downloads made up a rather tiny 86,000.

Susan Boyle, the big winner of “Britain’s Got Talent” who’s taken YouTube by storm with the video of her first performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from “Les Miserables,” is celebrating the success of her first album, “I Dreamed a Dream.” According to Billboard:

This past week, Boyle’s “Dream” held on to the No. 1 slot for a second frame with 527,000 — down just 25% — after bowing last week with 701,000. Now, with 1.23 million sold in its first two weeks, “Dream” is chasing after Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” (2.53 million sold this year) for the title of 2009′s best-selling album.

With four sales weeks left in the SoundScan tracking year, and with industry gurus suggesting “Dream” will have yet another blockbuster week, Boyle could overtake Swift’s sales figure by year’s end.

Congratulations, Susan! If you’ve somehow been under an Internet rock for the past few months and missed it, here’s the video that made her n international star:

Devendra Banhart’s new album, “What Will We Be,” came out last week, and Stereogum is offering a free stream of samples from it. If you’re new to Devendra, you might remember him as having dated Natalie Portman and featured her in the video to his trippy song, Carmencita.

Here’s the video for Carmencita, which is pretty cool:

• Estudiantina Castellana’s “Noche de Paz”. If you’re dreaming of a “Blanca Navidad,” this is the album for you.
  
  

  Noche de Paz

• Kate Ceberano’s “Merry Christmas”. Another beautiful woman sings all the sexiest Christmas hits.

• Johnny Reid’s “Christmas”. Where beautiful women lean towards the sexy Christmas standards, apparently nice-looking young men go for the sentimental favorites. Johnny Reid will be home for Christmas, darnit!

• A Very Special Christmas 7, by Various Artists. If you’re going to buy just one new Christmas album this year, this is probably it. Leighton Meester, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Sean Kingston, and more, come together to sing… basically the same songs you’ll find on the other albums on this list.
