I personally think Venus was supposed to be the first single. Wasn't it confirmed before Applause came out that a female produced the first single from sources, now Venus is produced by a "female".
Venus would have been the lead if Applause hadn't happened, I know the lyrics by heart now, don't worry
That doesn't mean it was originally planned as the lead. They were asking on twitter if Applause didn't exist what song she would have wanted as a single and she said Venus since it's clearly her favourite of whatever.

Oh well, I missed the ARTPOP Q/A, thanks for the clarification Jack
I guess she was writing Venus under the meeting table. And she would've shown them that paper had they not been happy with Applause, the last of the demo list.
