I think that was before Applause was the lead single though. Didn't she say in an interview it was Sexxx Dreams they had been planning to release for a long time? (I know you don't like Sexxx Dreams, but it would've made me **** my pants

)
In the end though Applause was a decent choice for lead single. There aren't many other viable singles on the album. I wish DWUW (ft. Xtina) had gotten that lead treatment though.
