The brand new single "Scream & Shout" by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears had a different destiny before its actual success. Will.i.am, recently, revealed: "The song was written for Tulisa's new album (one of The X Factor UK judge) but her team refused the song so I kept it apart. When I thought about Britney, I immediately called her and we recorded it. Britney knows the whole story, for this reason, she sung it with a British accent just like Tulisa would have sing it!"

The song sold almost 600,000 copies in its first week among USA, UK, Korea, Canada and France.
