If nothing leaked, would Rebel Hearts lead single have debuted top 10?

Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me were butchered because of the leak which didn't affect the sales that much. I'm still salty because she ruined 2 great single choices.

Agreed. The demos to both were amazing; could have even served as mastered/bonus mixes tacked onto the record but she turned RH into a campfire song and WAOM works in the context of the record but the poor mastering job ruins it.

Living For Love may have fared better if she hadn't had released it along with all the future RH singles in December before any promotion was due. She waited two months to begin promoting it (the video needed to be shot, Grammys etc) so whatever chance it may have had, people already had the track for two months and no one was going to purchase it again outside of fans whom buy multiple times. Same can be said for the last two singles, with Ghosttown, she should have waited as it was the only new track that hadn't leaked and she included it in the bundle and BIM, well when you have all the singles already, why buy them again?
