Pick the Singles - Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

[trustypepper]

INTRODUCTION
Pretend as if you are the sole person in charge of choosing the singles for a particular album. Pretend as if this is the beginning of the album era and you have NO knowledge of what was actually released and how those singles performed (whether they smashed, flopped, or did okay, you know nothing about it). Your job is to list what you think the singles should be for that album. You can release as little or as many as you want. If you think 8 singles should be released, list 8. If you think 2 singles should be released, list 2. Maybe you think the singles should be identical to the actual releases but in a different order. Or maybe you think the actual single releases were correct. It's completely up to you. Think of it as a "fresh start" for the album.

Why are you discussing an album situation about an album that was released 5 years ago?

[trustypepper]

It's supposed to be a retrospective thing just for fun. I planned on doing other albums in the future as well.

Revised Single Releases
1. Born This Way - perfect to launch the era. Iconic and a song that will be around forever
2. Americano - with the video providing the next part of the story after "Telephone"
3. Hair (radio single)/Judas (club single)
4. The Edge of Glory
5. You and I (radio single)/Government Hooker (club single)

1. Born This Way
2. The Edge of Glory
3. Hair
4. You and I

Those are the four obvious ones to me. Maybe a fifth single which could be a toss-up between a few options.

Judas would be solid first single!
I think Heavy Metal Lover, Hair and Americano had follow up potential too.

Marry the Night and Fashion of his Love remixes straight to clubland!

1 Born This Way
