Heads will roll over the recent leak of Britney Spears’ latest single. Jive Records is threatening legal action over whoever is responsible for secretly recording 40-second soundbite of the track “Womanizer,” which will kick off the release of the pop tart’s forthcoming sixth studio album.

“Record company bosses have been frantically trying to pull the material from the internet,” a source tells the Daily Mirror. “But anything about Britney spreads like wildfire.”

“Bosses are considering legal action when they find whoever leaked it. The track wasn’t finished. It’s not good for Britney’s comeback if people aren’t getting to listen to the polished version.”

In fact, a Nashville-area DJ has been suspended from his job at 107.5 The River after he played a leaked version of Spears’ much hyped comeback track.

The station was fined $500,000 by Jive because New York City’s Z100 and Los Angeles’ KIIS are the only two stations in the United States given the right to play the song before it is released nationwide October 7.
