Melbourne
(ANI):
Britney
Spears
has
jumped
to
the
top
of
iTunes
singles
charts
in
the
US
and
Australia
with
her
latest
single,
'Hold
It
Against
Me".
The
heavily-auto
tuned
dance
number
vaulted
past
Bruno
Mars'
Grenade
in
the
US
and
Dirty
Talk
by
Wynter
Gordon
Down
Under,
reports
News.com.au.
"Seriously,
I
have
the
best
fans
ever," Spears
tweeted
after
the
single
leaked.
"I
love
you
all
so
much!!
Everything
I
do
is
for
you!
xoxo
Brit,"
she
added.
The
erratic
pop
music
star
single
success
came
despite
accusations
from
1970's
country
music
duo
The
Bellamy
Brothers
that
the
song
steals
their
lyrics.
The
Bellamy
Brothers
had
a
No.
1
hit
in
1979
with
If
I
Said
You
Had
a
Beautiful
Body,
Would
You
Hold
it
Against
Me?
Spears' new
song
includes
the
refrain
"So
if
I
said
I
want
your
body
now,
would
you
hold
it
against
me?"
David
Bellamy,
half
of
the
duo,
told
TMZ:
"Howard
[Bellamy]
and
I
have
no
personal
beef
with
Britney.
She's
a
talented
gal.
But
professionally,
well,
in
all
honesty,
we
feel
completely
ripped
off.
Where's
the
originality?"
