BRITNEY TWEETS THAT HIAM WILL BE RELEASED ON TUESDAY
(Sorry this is getting so long but people from the West Coast are just logging on!!!)
- The Hold it Against Me demo has leaked. Supposedly sung by Bonnie McKee, the songwriter.
- At first glance, the demo was leaked by Riz. The song was posted on his Soundcloud earlier this morning. However, Riz now claims that his accounts were hacked into.

- According to Pop Justice, the song is correct lyrically AND IS the demo - however, the song is different in structure, vocally, and production wise on the final track. http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?...205&Itemid=206
- Adam, Britney, JIVE, or Dr. Luke have not yet commented. Meaning nothing has been confirmed or denied in regards to the radio release of the song (Social Media Campaign or Traditional release)...the leaked track, however, is pretty much all but confirmed.
Caution: RadioNOW is based in Indianapolis, IN, which is not a HUGE market like LA or New York. I doubt Jive would want them premiering their song before any of the larger markets so I would take caution with what they say. However, if the song is really being released tomorrow - then I guess everyone has dibs on it.
- Update: Contrary to those who think the track will be released tomorrow, 993 FLZ in Tampa Bay reports that we'll still have to wait for next week:

- Below is the demo that leaked earlier this morning:
- After the first demo leaked, another rough demo leaked. The vocals still feature songwriter Bonnie McKee, but the production is updated. Below is the 30 second preview of the updated demo.
Based on the production, it can be assumed Dr. Luke got his hands on the track. The drums near the end of the above demo are the same drums used in Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' right before the chorus.
Poor Britney just confirmed that the second demo is more of what we can expect from the final track:

Another alleged demo leak has hit the web and as I suspected, it does have Bonnie McKee listed as the singer – which is what the original demo sounded like (very ke$ha). This one seems to be more of the final version type of feel and sound and based on this 30 second clip, it will be a hit. This sounds much more complete than the first demo we heard — which by the way has now been deleted by Riz on his soundcloud page.
NOTE: In case the above video gets taken down. Check out LCTV's Twitter for a link. twitter.com/lctv (cannot post the direct link due to rules & regulations).
MAJOR UPDATE: Website 'World of Britney' posted a LONGER snippet of the second demo. Unlike the second demo which seemingly starts at the end of the song, the new demo snippet from WoB starts from the beginning.
- Another Riz demo of the same name 'Hold it Against Me' was also posted on his Soundcloud. However I personally believe that one is of no connection to Britney since it does not match lyrically AND the song was already posted on Youtube four months ago (before the HIAM rumors started): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7Fw5EAaByA
