Britney's Comeback Album Moved Up

Britney Spears has changed the release date of her highly anticipated comeback album.

Her fifth studio album, 'Blackout,' was originally scheduled to be released on November 13, but will now hit store shelves two weeks earlier on October 30, according to People magazine.

"Due to these numerous unauthorized online leaks, the label is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs including moving up the release date of the album to Oct. 30," a label rep says in a statement.

"Gimme More," the first single off the new album, is heating up the music charts. It tops the iTunes Store's Top Songs chart at #1 with over 179,000 digital download sales, and jumped from No. 68 to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100.
