The lead single is the highest-stakes move in pop music. One
song decides if you get to level up or if the entire era
dies on arrival.I ranked every level of lead single from Career
Killers to Origin Myths — and some of these placements will
start a fight.

From Katy Perry's "Woman's World" (the textbook Career Killer)
to Olivia Rodrigo's "drivers license" (the cultural Rorschach
test that hard-coded an entire archetype) — this is a complete
breakdown of what a lead single actually does to an artist's
career. Not chart performance. Not quality. The chessboard
moves.

Lipa, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Lorde, Lana Del
Rey, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears & more.
