Some artists struggle to pick the best single to welcome their new albums, but we think these 20 got it right. "Bad Romance" Lady Gaga 's "Bad Romance" was the perfect lead single for her debut album, The Fame Monster . It captures the soundtrack's theme perfectly, making those later songs, like "Monster" and the video for "Telephone," not so alarming.
"SexyBack" It may not have been the best song on the album, but once it was released, it was everywhere. The sound was fun, fresh, and different than anything else at the time. Maybe it's why I have such a visceral reaction whenever this comes on in the bar.
"Crazy In Love" "Crazy In Love" gets the bars and clubs hype to this day. Plus, it was one of four top-five hits off of Beyoncé's debut album, Dangerously In Love . "Suit & Tie" This was Justin Timberlake 's long-awaited return to the music industry after more than six years away.
His album, The 20/20 Experience , shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won two Grammys. "Baby One More Time" "Baby One More Time" launched Britney Spears into another universe.
It's a No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single, snagged the Billboard Music Award for Female Singles Artist of the Year, and set the record for the fastest single to reach No. 1 on the UK charts by a teenage female solo artist in 2000.
The album of the same name also topped the charts and earned Brit another Guinness World Record for Best Selling Album in the US by a Female Artist. "Hello" All of Adele's lead singles are powerfu.
