Pop star Britney Spears will release her newest album in early 2011, according to one of her producers, Dr. Luke. It will be her seventh studio effort in all.

Although her record company has not yet commented, Luke told The Hollywood Reporter that fans should expect the album to hit shelves early next year.

“She’s an icon, I don’t want to let anyone down. I’m excited to be co-executive producing with Max Martin, who kind of invented Britney,” the doctor said.

Rumor has it Britney Spears’ new album is just months away!

“She’s such an amazing vehicle to getting that music out to a lot of people in every country,” added Luke, who promises this will be “really good music.”

Spears, who is battling a lawsuit from Fernando Flores, has to date sold over 100 million records, and her last album, Circus sold over 3.5 million copies.

Despite a turbulent last couple of years, few artists of any era or genre can match that figure. No wonder Glee did a tribute episode in her honor.

Who’s looking forward to her new songs leaking early already?
