Spears has thanked all her fans for their support and invited the devotees to send in their questions via her Twitter blog and she has responded them throughout the week.
"This is really amazing! I love you all! I better get busy writing 4,947,608 thank you notes! you guys make me so happy," she wrote on her Twitter page.
The 28-year-old singer has an account on Twitter since 2008.
