Yeah, kinda nonsensical to use Without Me and Daisies in the OP.

This is the first thread i see where Taylor is on par with her actual peers instead of being sky high above everyone else including the new girls...lol

It's kinda refreshing to see this...how different her career looks from everyone else

I use the term MPG for every pop girl that is considered somewhat relevant, don't really care about the definitions, I think it's bs pretty much

what's Smile's lead then? and Manic's?  if a song is released first and is attached to an album it's called lead single

Never Really Over and Without Me, or Daisies and Graveyard. Depends on how you want to see it, both NRO and WM were added within the tracklist and not as an appendix/bonus tracks so I guess they count as lead!

Who the hell is listening to Stupid Love? Is Gaga's wrost lead ever

But it wasn't released as the lead single. It was called the lead single more than a year later despite Halsey tweeting that it was just a droplet.

 

The logic is that Daisies isn't Katy's lead single under the same pretense.

""There's a five part video series and I'm not writing myself and playing someone else and now this song is not attached to an album," she shared. "It's a standalone record. And that's the interesting thing about music—I was supposed to be taking a break and then I wrote this song and it's like, music doesn't care about your schedule. It's like, if the timing is right, you need to [do it]."

The English Wikipedia posts a lot of nonsense tbh. The concept of Manic didn't even exist when Without Me was released, those statements are completely inconsistent.

IFPI is wrong too? 

 

 

and Forbes too

 

The 25-year-old singer, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, can attribute this eligibility to the explosive success of Manic’s lead single, “Without Me” 

 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrolli/2020/01/17/halseys-manic-is-already-eligible-for-a-gold-certification/ 

 

Things can change, what you posted was said upon WM release, she intended to release it as a standalone single then it smashed and she chose to make it a lead, people scrap leads and change their plans about them all the time, this isn't new. 

 

even from her own fandom page:

 

"Without Me" is a song performed by Halsey. Originally being released as a standalone single, it later served as the lead single of her third studio album, Manic

For some reason I thought Midnight Sky was above 400m, but still impressive for Miley.

I'm not saying Without Me isn't Manic's lead; I'm just saying Never Really Over is Smile's lead, considering exactly like Without Me, it's in the album's main tracklist and it was the first single released off of it. Same exact case.

Technical Senorita is Romance's lead since its on the album 

@KillingYourCareerfrom Billboard: 

 

On Thursday (May 7), Perry took to her social media to announce another new single, but this time with some added news. "The first single from #KP5 is called #DAISIES and she’s coming MAY 15, 2020," the star wrote on her Twitter. "The music must go on."

 

 

I brought the receipts that prove that Daisies and Without Me are the leads, the rest is speculation

Midnight Sky deserved so much more. The world showing poor taste

Lead single ‘Never Really Over’ (which interpolates Nowegian singer Dagny’s punch-drunk belter ‘Love You Like That’) is a stonking song and one of Perry’s best in years. With its euphoric chorus and electronic beats, this is a glimpse of the joyous pop that Perry is synonymous with. It’s frustrating, then, that the rest of ‘Smile’ lacks the fizzle and cheek that made earlier releases such gems.

 

Perry’s first single from this album, “Never Really Over,” has a playful, fast-tempo chorus. The lyrics remind listeners that just when people think a relationship or memory has vanished, it has a way of coming back into their life. This song resembles Perry’s older music as well as her usual elaborate music video visuals.
