Britney Spears treated fans with a racy full body shot for the new cover of her album "Glory."

Fans of the top divas have been revisiting their old songs and making them soar on the iTunes charts. Just recently, Mariah Carey’s Lambs drove her 2008 “E=MC2” album to the top of the iTunes album sales chart in April. The same happened to Madonna’s 1994 album “Bedtime Stories.”

On May 3, it was Spears’ turn. Her 2016 album “Glory” made it to the top of the iTunes album rankings. The “Baby One More Time“ singer was so delighted, thus she treated her fans.

Spears updated the dull head shot cover of the “Glory” album, replacing it with a racy full body shot. In the snap, she lays her back on the floor alongside a giant prop chain. The singer is barely clothed, wearing a skimpy costume that only covers her private parts, Variety reported.

Spears’ fans were very pleased with the updated cover. In fact, it is making the rounds on Twitter.

“i hate the britney team, this cover is MUCHHH BETTER than the previous one,” one commented.

“Did someone finally approve the original intended picture for the cover?! That’s so strange. But it looks [explicit] awesome lol,” another netizen added.

According to Bradley Stern, co-host of the "Britney" podcast, the new cover for “Glory” was actually the original, but it was scrapped. The photo was shot by David LaChapelle? and for him, it would have made an “incredible cover” for the album.

“Oh...my God. A new (original?) cover using the scrapped David LaChapelle photo shoot for @britneyspears #Glory is now inexplicably on Spotify,” Stern wrote.

“This would have been an incredible cover. Never a dull day to be a part of this fandom...” he added.

Meanwhile, Carey was also very happy when her fans successfully made her 12-year-old album top the U.S. iTunes. In exchange for their efforts, the “Hero” hitmaker offered a singing moment and asked her fans what song they wanted her to sing.

“How should we celebrate #JusticeForEMC2? I want to do a singing moment for you! Which song?” she wrote on Twitter.

Carey’s fans flooded her post with titles of the songs from the album that they wanted to hear. Some requested for “Love Story.” Meanwhile, many also wanted “For the Record,” “I Wish You Well” and “Bye Bye.”
