Briefly: Britney Spears, George Strait, Brian Wilson, Dr. Dre, Burt Bacharach
Among the tracks on the set are "... Baby One More Time," "Oops! ... I Did It Again," "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Toxic," as well as her new cover of Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative."
"My Prerogative" hits radio on Sept. 15, and the video premieres on MTV's TRL on Sept. 16, according to Jive Records.
MCA Records has scheduled an Oct. 5 release date for George Strait 's two-disc greatest-hits set "50 Number Ones."
The collection spans from Strait's first No. 1, 1982's "Fool Hearted Memory," to 2002's "She'll Leave You with a Smile."
Besides 50 previous country chart-toppers, the album also includes his new single, "I Hate Everything."
Six tracks from Brian Wilson 's new version of the unfinished Beach Boys album "Smile" are currently streaming at a website that Nonesuch Records has launched to promote the set.
The Denver Post reports that 76-year-old songwriter Burt Bacharach is co-writing a new album with Dr. Dre .
"Three of the four things I've already cut have Dr. Dre drum loops that he gave me," Bacharach reportedly said last week. "It's a challenging, freeing feeling, to take an existing format--like these rigid, four-bar loops--and to see what you can write on top of it. It's hard and challenging too because it does have some restrictions. It's kinda like Hal [David, Bacharach's longtime collaborator) giving me the whole lyric on 'Alfie' and then having to set that up around it."
