Britney Spears is giving her fans a streaming taste of the upcoming Britney Jean album for free on iTunes a week before its December 3rd release.

Apple usually streams major albums in advance of their releases to encourage preorders. Britney Jean (click here to launch the album in iTunes) is the 31-year-old pop star's eighth studio album.

After releasing the album, she will begin a two-year Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood, which is described as a "performance hybrid where club meets theater."
