No. They may not be the strongest in YOUR opinion but they were all huge hit lead singles and could easily be considered to have been chosen for their obvious big hit potential.

regardless of whether BTW is the definite strongest(subjective) it was still considered to be amongst the strongest clearly. You've even just admitted that(see above). Now then.
