We are quite liking Dr Luke's new penchant for chucking clips of the Britney album on SoundCloud.

For example:

'I Wanna Go':

'Inside Out':

Perhaps he will keep doing it every few days until even­tu­ally the
entirety of 'Femme Fatale' is available as slightly dicked-around-with
audio clips. Either way this is actually sounding like it might be a brilliant album, but remember there is still plenty of time for one or two 'Mmm Papi'-style atro­cit­ies so don't get too excited just yet.

In other news can whoever is respons­ible for orches­trat­ing (and sending our way) that burst of dozens of identical "oh boo hoo why isn't Britney promoting why won't she listen to thefanzzz" emails PUT A SOCK IN IT. Cheers.

Some of the new Britney tracks have leaked ('leaked') and you can listen to bits of them thanks to the combined efforts of Britney fansite Breatheheavy and YouTube. The tracks are 'Womanizer', 'Circus', 'Out From Under', 'Kill The Lights', 'If U Seek Amy' and 'Unusual You'.

Our proposed 7/10 rating yesterday has caused a minor rumpus in the hilarious world of the Britney fan — what do you reckon, based on what you can hear above? Let us know…

* We wonder how many hilarious (trans: non-hilarious) headlines we can fashion this week out of the year-old "it's Britney, bitch" song lyric?
