Britney Spears’ number one single, “Hold It Against Me” sold 411,000 digital singles in one week, breaking a record previously held by Taylor Swift.

The song debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles at number one, making Spears only the second artist in Billboard history to debut multiple songs at number one. She joins Mariah Carey with the prestigious title.

“Hold It Against Me” was released exclusively on ITunes and received no promotions from Britney herself. It also debuted at number one in 19 other countries, including Australia, Belgium, Japan, Canada, Switzerland, France and Ireland.

“Seriously, I have the best fans ever,” Spears wrote on Twitter after making her first-day sales record. “I love you all so much! Everything I do is for you!”

Spears also revealed that she is currently working on a video for the hit single with director Jonas Akerlund.

Spears’ new album will be released in March, 2011.

NEW YORK: Britney Spears has become just the second artist in the 52-year history of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart to debut multiple songs at No. 1, as "Hold It Against Me" took the top spot in its first week.

Spears previously came in at No. 1 with "3" in 2009. The only other act with multiple No. 1 starts is Mariah Carey with "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day" in 1995 and "Honey" in 1997.

"Hold It Against Me" is Spears' fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100. Prior to "3," she reigned with her debut single "...Baby One More Time" (1999) and "Womanizer" (2008). The new track sold 411,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It marks the highest first-week tally for a lead female artist, besting the 325,000 downloads sold by Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale" in February 2010.

Two other tracks stormed the upper reaches of the Hot 100. "What the Hell," the first single from Avril Lavigne's fourth album, "Goodbye Lullaby," due March 8, opened at No. 13.

At No. 23, Kanye West and Jay-Z debuted with "H*A*M.," the first single from the superstar pair's upcoming collaborative album, "Watch the Throne."

Directly below "Hold It Against Me," three titles dipped one notch each: Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (No. 2), Katy Perry's "Firework" (No. 3) and Rihanna's "What's My Name?" (No. 4).

Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" rose two to No. 5; Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" held at No. 6; and Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" fell three to No. 7.

Pink fell three to No. 8 with "Raise Your Glass," the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)" and Mars' "Just the Way You Are" each slipped one place, to Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.
