What's a hashtag? What's a trending topic? On Twitter, the most talked about topics of that moment, called "Trending Topics," appear in the bar on the right hand side, right under your follower count and the search box. By using a hashtag, or one common term that starts with a # symbol, all the tweets about one subject count towards making that hastag a Trending Topic. You can also click on a hashtag to see all the other tweets also containing that hashtag.

The 3-day countdown to the "3" video premiere has begun! Here's the deal: During the next 3 days, Britney will launch her video through pictures and video clips, culminating with the "3" video "Premiere Tweet" on Day 3 -- Friday, Oct. 30. Are you in?

Day 1: Photo Release
Three never-before-seen photos from the final "3" video will be released via Britney's official Twitter today -- one photo will be sent out every 3 hours. Triple fun that way.

Day 3: 3-Day
On Friday, Oct. 30, Britney will Tweet the link of the video premiere for your viewing pleasure. Livin' in sin is the new thing.

Here's the first: 

Earlier this month, Leon Gonzalez won the Fan Designed T-Shirt Contest. His winning entry is now for sale for $30 in Britney Spears Online Store.

Leon is 23 years old and currently in the last year of fashion design studies. "When I designed this T-shirt I thought of something simple, easy to wear and not too much overload but I also thought of something that expressed my love for Britney. This design was influenced by 80's style and a little bit of elegant-glam," says the winning designer.

The Bling 'B' Belt Buckle ($30) has just been added to the Britney Spears Online Store. It matches the belt buckles Britney's male dancers wear during Womanizer!

Here are two more exclusive pictures from Britney's shoot for her brand new '3' music video!

I want to thank my fans for making '3' the # 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.  I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world.

From Billboard:

Britney Spears becomes the first artist in over three years to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (Oct. 15), as "3" opens at the pinnacle of the chart. Her new track, a racy paean to the joys of three-way sex from the upcoming hits set "The Singles Collection," due Nov. 24, shifts 255,000 downloads in its first week of release, also propelling it to No. 1 on Digital Songs. The title also jumps 38-25 on the Pop Songs chart and debuts at No. 49 on Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which ranks songs based on airplay audience on all radio formats.

"3" is the first title to debut at No. 1 since Taylor Hicks' "American Idol" victory song "Do I Make You Proud" did so on the chart dated July 1, 2006. In fact, the last four songs to open at No. 1 were all "American Idol"-related. Prior to Hicks, Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" (July 2, 2005), "I Believe" by Fantasia (July 10, 2004) and Clay Aiken's "This Is The Night" each debuted at No. 1. The last non-"Idol" song to open at No. 1 was Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" on Nov. 14, 1998. "3" is Spears' third Hot 100 No. 1. Her debut single "...Baby One More Time" spent two weeks at No. 1 in 1999 and "Womanizer" spent a sole frame at the top, exactly one year ago this week, on the chart dated Oct. 25, 2008.

After opening for Britney on the latest leg of the Circus tour, Jordin Sparks opened up to OK! Magazine about what it was like to tour with Britney.

"It was a lot of fun and watching her on stage was great -- being able to see her up on that stage again with everything going on around her, like her costumes changes and she was dancing and she was doing her thing and it was really cool out there.

"Because, I mean, she has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. She's been the epitome of celebrity since I was little, so to see her up there doing what she loves was really, really cool."

3 is exploding at radio! Looks like it will be the most added song of the year so far! Thought you guys might enjoy that bit of info. -Adam, manager

This is quite simply one of Brit's best song of her entire career!!!! Not only does it have you shakin' your thing from the first beat but the lyrics are amazing!!!! Britney, you are simply the best and this song just shows how on top of the music industry you really are!!!! Sooooo can't wait for the video!!
- Michael from Manchester, UK

Britney definitely has her own pop sound that we hear again in "3". When you first hear the song, you find it catchy and start moving along with it. Than after it's over, she keeps you wondering about what you just heard and wanting to hear it again. Overall, I think "3" is a cute and clever song :) Good work again Brit!
- Sophia P.

I Love it!!!!!!!!!!! It's totally a true pop song with a club/electro vibe to it. "3" will be at the #1 spot on the charts i'm sure of it. The song is also catchy! and upbeat like her many others. The video for this song should be fun and sexy! Britney is the best!!! and truly is now to me The Queen of Pop!!!!!!! Ive been a huge fan for 10 years every since "Baby one more time..." I Love it!!! and I Love you Britney Spears!!!!!!!!!!!
- Jimmy

I heard this yesterday and by the end of the first line I had fallen in love and put the volume up as high as it goes!!! Then I played it on britneyspears.com over and over! All of Britney's songs are great but this one is the best in a while and I know this one will catapult her to the top of the charts again! Way to go Britney, show em how it's done! Can't wait til the next time I'm at a club and this comes on, it's gonna be off the chain! LONG ISLAND LOVES YOU BRITNEY!!!
- Caitlin

No one can do a song like Britney!! Every single one she has its 100% epic. 3 is sexy, catchy, and awesome all in one package!! Britney has done it again, she always does and that's why we love her!!
- Aubrey

I love Britney and all of her songs, but this is absolutely hot! The flow of the song is amazing and I can't get tired of it! I'm STILL listening to it! I love the sexy lyrics and Britney's voice! I can only imagine how breathtaking the video will be! I love you, Britney! You are and always will be the best and my absolute idol! Much love from Memphis.

- Joey from Philly

This is by far the best dance track Britney has ever done! And it proves once again that nothing can go wrong when Brit and Max are in the studio together. My favourite already ! A perfect blend between naughty and nice, an upbeat track with sassy lyrics, I love it! ;) You go Britney! I LOVE YOU! greetings from cold Sweden, please come see us again :)
- Nathalie Friden

The song is already an instant hit, what more the music video? With such a sexy beat that just makes you wanna dance and those lyrics that just turns you on, there's no stopping this princess of pop! 3 is probably of the best song every. Wonderful Job. Love you forever xoxo
- Tasha

I think that '3' is awesome. A banging beat, mysterious lyrics, great vocals.. Add them together and you get the perfect formula for a number one single. Once again, the legendary Miss Britney Spears has reminded us all why she is our new Queen of Pop. Now that I've heard the song, I just can't wait to see what how the video will be like. Go BRITNEY.
- Fahmi from Singapore

I love this single! It is one of Britney's best singles yet! The fact that it is officially her 30th single is even cooler! I cannot wait for the video! It is probably going to be such a cool video!
