I don't get how y'all can rank this among her other lead singles so quickly, or at all for that matter. It's so extremely different from the other four that I'm just not sure how to even begin comparing it to the others without being unfair to all the songs involved. I'll give it some more time and see how it settles in though.

1. Applause
2. Bad Romance
3. Just Dance
4. Born This Way

These I am 100% sure about from literal years of consideration. How y'all can just slap in a new song in a day is beyond me.

Born this way and bad Romance are her best though

I'll accept Bad Romance (although Applause is slightly better for me), but you can exit stage left for even implying that Born This Way is anything other than her worst lead single. (I still love it though.)

I will not stand by this mockery of born this way, her best work. Stay pressed because of perfection

I've always found the importance of lead singles to be overstated. Obviously they can be important, but people expect too much out of them so they almost never live up to their hype. It's quite sad. But I think the work on the album should always be strong, and I know she better NOT give up this era. I want to see her release what she set out to release and not let **** get to her.
