I've heard of this before. Bart told me that "lead" is considered the one directly before the album. Like, "Doesn't Really Matter" was the first single from All for You, but "All for You" was the lead single.
I think it gets a little screwy when they're cut so close to the albums like that. "Circus" was paired with the album release. "The Edge of Glory" was supposed to be a countdown promo single; I would say that "Judas" was, sadly, more of the lead single from BTW, if we're gonna get technical. "Edge" only came together as a full-fledged single at the same time as/after the album's release. "WMN" came out only a week or so before the album, too.
This is the way I always thought of it. For example, Leona's "Collide" is the first single for Glassheart but not the lead single because it didn't lead up to the album the next week (as is common practice in the British Isles)
I don't care if I'm 1 vs. many. What is popular isn't always right. Funny how I have to go over elementary teachings with you. Really highlights your maturity.
In Korea there's usually only 1 single from albums. Japan is the country where they release a bunch of singles then the album. You tried it, though, and made yourself look like a damn fool who is ignorant about non-American things.
I'm from America. Good job on thinking my name = everything about me.
You don't care, but claim the entire music world uses that definition? And I don't care who does it. Korea/Japan - they do it over there, not here. You'll continually deal with the general consensus of the lead single. And I don't use your name as if it was you, but stay getting catty.
As an actual promo single. We heard WYT before we heard RR.
No we most definitely did not.
Hard, WYT, and CCL all leaked within a week of each other.
All we heard of WYT before Russian Roulette was the little 10 second snippet on RihannaNow.com for promo. And at that point, we all thought the song was title "The Wait is Ova"

Thankyou, when are you people going to give me some credit and realize I'm right?
this is too much for me lol, I'm going to bed, I should be up for the fun by 6 am
I don't give a **** if it's her lead single, a buzz single, her lead pre-buzz single, her lead lead single, or her second single, I'm just ready for new Rihanna music.
I've been done with Loud since, like, I dunno, December.

Let me go check my notes because I remember hearing WYT just a few days before RR.

I have nothing more to say to FAN because nothing can be better than this.
Got back a few pounds heavier and this **** is still not out?!! I can'tttttttt
You do realise that no matter how much anyone wishes it to be released within the hour, it is going to be released 6am US time? I don't understand why people expect it to be out now.
And I don't care who does it. Korea/Japan - they do it over there, not here. You'll continually deal with the general consensus of the lead single. 
I can't wait ! I hope it's Only Girl Part 2
