The lead single is the single that leads into an album release.

So for example, "Teenage Dream" was the lead single and "California Gurls" was 'a buzz single'?

Not to be rude, but I've never read something so stupid. The lead single is the first single of an album. You know leader = ahead = first? If a second single is released, that would be dubbed the current single. With your logic, "Circus", "Edge of Glory", "What's My Name?", "Till The World Ends", "Ring The Alarm", other countless follow-up singles released before an album would be "lead" singles. And that looks and sounds retarded.

First single = First official song released as a single.
Second single = Second official song released as a single.
Etc., etc.

Lead single = The single that leads into an album release.

Buzz single = Unofficial single; released for buzz only.

But if you must believe what you believe I don't care. No need to get so angry.

There can be multiple lead singles. Anything released (as a single) prior to the album release is a lead single.

I'm not getting angry. I'm just kind of appalled such simple terms are being misconstrued. Maybe you should use the word "lead-in". It looks less dense, and makes a bit more sense.

Well, actually, in most cases, Buzz Single = the real first single flopped, so let's call it a Buzz Single to save face.

I see you Ciara, Keri, Nicki, and etc.

Anyway, I will sleep and awake to this.

In my opinion, lead single doesn't necessarily = the first single from the album.

I'm not wrong, you two are. There's nothing to discuss here because this has a simple correct answer which I have provided. You two may continue to believe what you believe but just know that you're wrong. Goodbye.

Well only people like Kelly Rowland do that, which at that point you give up labeling anything released.

Now this is a response with a little anger in it. Clearly there are two ideas of it, yours being a bit more extraterrestrial - and unaccepted.

There are two ideas of it but that doesn't mean that both are right to some extent. Yours is wrong, mine is right. Mine may not be what you have thought or think but it's the correct one and has always been in the music world. Sorry.
