I don't think WFL was a risky single choice. :/ They released before they had even finished recording the album because her label knew it was going to be a hit.

CB's Beautiful People, which is quite sinmilar to WFL, was even a semi hit with barely any proper promotion.

Beauitful People wasnt a lead single tho ?

Some of those singles are NOT risky at all. How in hell are BTW, CBT and HIAM risky?

HIAM - the dubstep
CBT - Miley's image
BTW - the LGBT lyrics

I am really pissed you think CBT isn't risky considering Miley was trying so hard to shed her Hannah Montana image.

[The Best One Yet]

SexyBack

and

Boom Boom Pow

[SoulLow]

Black Eyed Peas and Fergie when they first linked up. "Where is the Love" was a hip Pop ballad about the war, with 3 members who couldnt sing. Went top 10

Kelis Milkshake. She hated the song so much because she felt like it was against everything she wanted a career on. She passed on it, but took the song later to spite someone. Went #1 on many charts and was #2 or #3 for weeks in the US

It was risky but it didn't work, in fact it only killed most of what was left of her main audience (hardcore disney stans) . The only reason it went top 10 was because it had her name.

I'd say Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous was pretty risky.

BTW is kinda risky .. but with that amount of hype it would 100% be successful ..
Basically, IKAG, BR, RR and IIWAB have some amount of risk in them because they are different from what the radio is playing that time ..

WFL and HIAM are risky ? You gotta be kidding ...

[Haus]

Born This Way.

[vamp]

Honestly, ...Baby One More Time . A teenager singing about getting 'hit'. Yup id say that was risky.

[DvnR]

Born This Way, If I Were A Boy, Russian Roulette, and Bad Romance.

[Ripedie254]

I suppose I kissed a girl could be considered risky, considering being her debut single and the subject it was about.

Nope. The stutters and the dubstep made it risky. So did the deepened voice "DJ turn it up"

[stoic_1987]

I can't at MOST of members here don't know what a risky single is.

Not all of Beyonce's lead singles being risky.

I'll definitely give you RTW, though.

I believe it also says "THAT WORKED"
