ApplauseftAdele 4,730 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 As we know, a lead single can decide an era. It is usually the most, if not only, recognizable song of the era, and most of the time the one that has the most impact. Are there songs that you think have the potential to be leads, and how do you think it could have changed the artist's career? (I was inspired by the TEOG lead single thread, which, for all we know, could have made her even more of a global icon, we never know.) IMO : Rihanna's Love on the Brain, The Weeknd's I Feel It Coming, Gaga's TEOG/MTN/(Maybe even Gypsy, A-Yo, Diamond Heart) Katy Perry's Witness, and Ariana's Into You are all prime examples of songs that could have been released as leads, but the record label decided to release a more danceable or mainstream song or whatever the reason. I feel like many of these songs could have more success and cultural impact, and especially in The Weeknd/Rihanna's case give them a better reputation as versatile or talented artists In Katy's case, CTTR was just so basic especially when Witness the song is such a masterpiece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think Paparazzi or Poker Face could've been the lead single, but Just Dance was the right choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuri 21,636 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 is a bop. She could have been famous again if this was the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juju 18,907 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Usually I'm here for whatever the lead is, because an artist has to feel a certain way about it to put it out first. A lot of lead singles make the album for me: Earth Intruders, What You Waiting For/WInd It Up, Hung Up, Perfect Illusion, etc. They all get me so hype. ❤ x ❤ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon 10,904 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I was traveling today deelpy listening As You Were by Liam Gallagher an can't help thinking that For What It's Worth should have been lead. I mean it's a beautiful song and with the whole Liam-Noel feud, it'd have people talking about it ... and now i just sit in silence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthen 4,621 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 CTRL=Supermodel (though Drew Barrymore is amazing too) Joanne=Diamond Heart 21=MAYBE Someone Like You or Set Fire To the Rain (though Rolling In The Deep is pretty iconic) B'Day=Get Me Bodied A Seat At The Table=Don't Touch My Hair ANTI=Love On The Brain could work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
