Britney, Beyonce, Christina and Leona set for chart battle

Female divas all release single on same day

Britney Spears is currently favourite to win the chart battle

Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Leona Lewis have all announced a November release date for their next tracks.

The 4 female singers will vie for No1 in the British charts, with 26-year-old Britney's comeback single Womanizer the favourite for the top spot.

‘We haven’t had a heavyweight chart battle like this for a while,’ HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo says. ‘It’s wide open but you have to fancy Britney just ahead of Leona.’

X Factor winner Leona, 23, is releasing her first up-tempo song Forgive Me, after a incredibly successful year both here and in America.

Christina, 27, is releasing track Keeps Gettin’ Better is from her greatest hits album of the same name, while 27-year-old Beyoncé has soulful ballad If I Were A Boy.

All 4 singles will be available from November 3.
