I personally think Alice would’ve been a terrible lead single choice, but to each their own. That central conceit of that song is so dumb in my opinion (I don’t think it’s a bad song per se, just really I don’t like it at all for many reasons)

I’d keep most things the same honestly, except I’d officially designate and promote 911 as a single. 
 

Babylon, Alice, and Free Woman are borderline unlistenable for me. So I find it funny that everyone is saying those should have been the singles. 
 

Stupid Love does scream lead single to me, so I get why they went with it, but I think Replay could have killed as the lead. But, as I said, genuinely think things went all right the way it was set up. The main issue with that era was timing, not single choices IMO.

Free Woman should have been the lead. Pop enough to be on radio but captures the sound and vibe of the album better than Stupid Love imo

Then Rain on Me, Replay and 911

Throwing commercial potential out the door:

1. 911 - Immediately grabs your attention, especially with existing MV attached

2. Enigma OR Rain On Me Solo - I want to see her artistic vision re: an Enigma MV and no one can deny her vocal tour de force here OR I'd love her not being constrained by a safer pop girl co-starring (sorry!) and keep Rain on Me to Gaga herself. The video already had cool if embryonic ideas like the rainfall-knives and Gaga dancing with a whole-ass knife in her hip as if that's normal plus "Flood Warning" Interface Gaga (Goddess OR Symbiotic/Parasite-chained Gagz seeing as what looked like wings/ornaments at first seemed more like unnatural alien appendages the second time we saw them briefly - trauma holding her hostage? - we needed much more of this!) + I love that we basically see a projection or subconscious version dancing while the "real" one is the crying Gaga overseeing everything, such a brilliant idea to add layers and flesh out further in a solo video.

3. Replay - I want a creative MV that captures the amazing sound of the song. 'Nuff said!

4. Babylon - To switch things up a bit.

(1000 Doves Piano Demo is so worth at least promo single status, but I'd realistically go with 1000 Doves and Stupid Love)
