User:Razr Nation/sandbox/List of unreleased Britney Spears songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Britney Spears is an American recording artist and entertainer. She has written and recorded material that has never been officially released. Songs included in this list are registered tracks not commercially or promotionally released, recordings that gained attention from the media or were confirmed by Spears herself. Many of the pop singer's unreleased songs have been registered—usually by her company Britney Spears Music—with professional bodies such as the United States Copyright Office, Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) and American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).[1][2][3] Many officially unreleased Spears songs had been scheduled for release on records by the singer, including her studio albums Britney (2001), In the Zone (2003), Blackout (2007) and Circus (2008). For unknown reasons, the tracks were ultimately rejected and remain unreleased.
The pop singer's unreleased material includes songs recorded by Spears and demo versions, some co-written by artists such as Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga. In 1997, Spears recorded "Today", originally meant for Toni Braxton. Snippets of "Rebellion" and "For My Sister" were released on Spears' official website in 2006. She has also co-written and recorded songs that were later given to other artists, such as sister Jamie Lynn Spears, American band Selena Gomez & the Scene and Korean singer BoA. Several of Spears' songs have been leaked onto the Internet without gaining an official release. Some leaks throughout 2010 gained significant attention, including "When I Say So," "Am I a Sinner," "Mad Love," and "Telephone", which had previously been released by Gaga. A collection of songs that leaked on October 6, 2011 received the name of "Britmas".[4]
