Britney Spears BSPEARSRALPH091207_01.jpgThat's right, folks! Brit's label Jive has decided to move up the release date of our girl's latest album Blackout to October 30th! (It was originally dropping on November 13th.) Why? Because Jive Records "wants to put a stop to the unauthorized leaking of Spears' songs onto the internet." As we all know, a lot of Britney's "unfinished material and demos" has illegally leaked onto blogs, which is not cool.

The upside is we get to hear Britney's new tracks that much earlier - this is going to make Halloween even better!
