it received so much attention from all over the world, since she hadn't released in more than two years and she was on hiatus ever since her hip breaking.

a lot of news sites and publications said it should've been the first single instead of Applause.

Of course the leaks were planned, I bet GMA is on it as well.

Pls. Do you know how many headlines + attention and controversy it generated?

Madonna is smart for leaking these, though they've kinda failed to be noticed by the public.

I thought so too. Those are cleary not songs that were meant to be singles.
