Wasn't Blow meant to be released instead of XO?

I remember the thread on here the day the album dropped, it was later changed.

It was never really considered, but Ed wanted Taylor to release Bad Blood as 1989's first single.

I have heard that Carrie didn't originally want 'Smoke Break' as the lead single for 'Storyteller'..

Glam was supposed to be the lead single for Bionic

this can't be serious...
She had so many potential quality songs for a lead...and they wanted Glam? That song should've been a bonus track at best.

Also I've never heard of Mannequin supposed to be Circus' lead, but the song is too innovative for a lead single.
The GP would have never understood its brilliance.

I feel like BBHMM would have lead Anti if it smashed.

Janet. album was supposed to have If as the lead single.

Avril Lavigne - S/T - I think "17" was supposed to be the lead but ha record label decided to release HTNGU instead. Same with Goodbye Lullaby, I think she wanted "Push" as the lead but ended up with WTH

Rihanna , Anti - FourFiveSeconds
Gwen Stefani, This Is What the Truth Feels Like - Baby Don't Lie

I can see why.

Everything would have flopped then since Clear Channel was still mad at her

Honeymoon - Music To Watch Boys To

Britney really hated Outrageous.

How do you know its Push

Marry The Night was planned as the first single off Born This Way

it is also said that the label opted for End of Time as the lead from 4 but she went w/ RTW instead.
"Blow" was initially the lead single from BEYONCE but radio programmers said it was too explicit and they chose XO instead. She sent XO and they played it for a while and then dropped it for DrIL

dsfdsfsd am just guessing that's why I said "I think" although i'm pretty sure WTH was not the first choice as lead single. The GL era happened like ages ago so
