The Pop Deities must be smiling upon us this evening as not one, but two exciting new developments are underway in the world of Spears.

Firstly, Britney.com has uploaded a new poll asking readers to choose which single they’d want to see if B was to release a NEXT SINGLE. What does this mean?

(A) There is a 65% chance that there will indeed be a next single (YAY!) and
(B) There is a 35% chance that it will be the one you actually chose.

Watch “Lace And Leather” become the announced single.

And secondly, and most fantastically, THIS TWEET FROM BRITNEY:

In Stockholm in the studio with Max Martin. -Britney

AHHHHH!!!

YES. Britney is in a studio. With Max Martin. Why? Nobody knows.

I personally believe it’s a case of opportunity–it’s not everyday you’re in the neighborhood of Mr. Martin. Thanks to the tour, she was able to drop by. Now…whether this is for a re-release, a new album, or simply putzing around, I couldn’t tell you. But what I am fairly confident about is that Martin’s got a slew of tracks lying around with which he’d probably LOVE to have B’s vocals laid on top.

Mmm….
