Xtina Announces New Single's Title

Christina Aguilera is plotting a massive comeback in 2012 and she’s just confirmed what her new single will be called!

Let the X-Tina comeback begin! Christina Aguilera will be releasing her 5th album in 2012 with a new single dropping next month!

While the album is still untitled, we now know the first single will be called “Love Your Body.” That’s the clean, radio edit name. In typical X-Tina Dirrty fashion, the actual title does not include the word “Love” if you know what I mean.

This times out perfectly as her show, The Voice, also is making its return with the new season early next year. You KNOW she’ll be performing this on the show. It worked for Maroon 5‘s Moves Like Jagger, I’m sure Christina is hoping for the same result for her new song.

Rumored (and likely fake) Madonna tracklist

Purported image of track list for Madonna‘s upcoming new album. This image, emblazoned with Interscope and Live Nation logos, also claims that the title of Maddy‘s new album is LUV. Now … take all of this information with a huge grain of salt. The photo you can see below showed up on a random Tumblr site and then was unsurprisingly taken offline.
