Me Against The Music (2003)

FORMATS: CD Maxi-Single, Double 12" Vinyl

HISTORY AND NOTES:
"Me Against The Music" was Britney Spears' first single from her own 2003 album, In The Zone. The song featured vocals by Madonna. This was the first Madonna duet to ever be released as a single. Both CD and 12" Vinyl maxi formats were released.

"Me Against The Music" was a moderate hit, hitting the Top 40 on the Hot 100, but it was a bigger dance hit hitting #1 on the usual dance charts. It spent an impressive 13 weeks at #1 on the Dance Singles Sales chart. This song has been featured on Britney's own greatest hits albums, but Madonna has pretty much ignored this song since its release.
