No sooner than news sprung that Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha would be jumping on the official remix of Britney Spears‘s new single ‘Till The World Ends, it decided to leak onto the net a whole three days early.

It seems that artists are asking their friends to jump on the single version of their releases in order to guarantee that #1 spot, and we saw that technique work to great effect last week when Rihanna hit the top spot with her Britney assisted single S&M.

It’s a great ploy though, and considering that Ke$ha co-wrote the song, and that Nicki is going on tour with Britney this summer, it kind of made sense. The amount of stans all three ladies have means this song is a guaranteed Billboard #1. Looks like Beyoncé might just have to wait a little bit longer to get hers.
