No, it is random. I know this because I've unlocked things for the game 5 times, twice for the Xbox 360 version, once for the Wii U, one for the Wii and once for the Xbox One version. Two of those times was for myself, the third (the 2nd Xbox 360 run) was for an anime convetion in Denmark that used someone else's Xbox 360. The Wii and Wii U runs was for a game show and it wasn't me unlocking stuff but the gameshow goers unlocking stuff together as we played the game.

The order in which you unlock alts is entirely random. When I did it for the convention, "Bad Romance (Official Choreo)" was the very last thing to be unlocked. When we unlocked stuff for the gameshow, "Bad Romance (Official Choreo)" was unlocked quite early. When I unlocked stuff for my own Xbox 360, "Bad Romance (Official Choreo)" was, like, the 6th alt to be unlocked IIRC. The very first alt to be unlocked was also different every single one of those times, unless I'm misremembering.

Googling the issue (I was trying to find out if there was any rhyme or reason to the unlocking) gave me nothing but people stating how random it was. There is no set pattern. It matters not what songs you play. It seems that there's a hidden meter that unlocks alts on a random basis as you progress. Like, say, "Get 20 stars = Random alt, next up, 50 stars = Another random alt".
