For the first time in a long time, it's finally been a good week to be Britney Spears. Britney has teamed up with Rihanna to make a remix of Rihanna's hit "S&M," according to Consequence of Sound.

The power-pop duo has been teasing the track on Twitter, writing both to their fans and back and forth to each other, with Rihanna tweeting on Sunday evening, "I got a sexy collaboration coming your way super-dupa soon! By popular demand...it's Britney bitch!" A remix featuring Britney was a popular suggestion from Rihanna's fans when she asked them who they want to hear her collaborate with in the near future. Consequence of Sound has the track available for streaming here.

Rihanna's so excited about the collaboration that she said, "I want to spank Britney" in a recent interview with New York's most prominent pop station, Z100.

Even though Britney has been busy making that "S&M" remix, she's been putting a lot of time into finding an opening act for her tour after Enrique Iglesias bailed at the drop of a hat. The lucky opener is reportedly Nicki Minaj. Sorry Enrique, but this major two-artist roster is bound to sell a ton of tickets!
