Teenage Dream

Teenage Dream is the sixth album I have listened to and officially ranked. Additionally, it is the first album of Katy Perry's I have listened to. This was the second album of Katy Perry and it was released on August 24, 2010. The album had six singles: "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", "Last Friday (T.G.I.F.)", and "The One That Got Away". They are certified 8x platinum, 7x platinum, diamond, 8x platinum, 6x platinum, and 4x platinum by the RIAA respectively. "Hummingbird Heartbeat" was also released as a single, but only to Australia and did not achieve much success. The first five singles all peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, setting a tie record with Michael Jackson's Thriller for the most #1s from a single album, while "The One That Got Away" peaked at #3. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 192,000 units sold and is certified 3x platinum by the RIAA as of July 31, 2015. On March 23, 2012, Perry released a reissue of "Teenage Dream" titled "Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection". The album had two singles: "Part of Me" and "Wide Awake", which peaked at #1 and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. They are 4x platinum and 5x platinum respectively. A new song titled "Dressin' Up" and remixes of singles from the original album were also included.

Review
If you are talking about success in the 2010s, "Teenage Dream" is the epitome of it. Katy Perry was everywhere from 2010-2012. Six number ones and eight top 10s in the span of three years. Insane. The quality of the singles were always really good, considering the fact Katy is a single artist.. and not so much of someone who has amazing deep cuts. However, literally half of the original album is just singles. At least they're all good lol. The worst song is "Peacock" easily because... it's just so ridiculous and has subtly whatsoever. If that was ever a single her career would've been flopping before Witness. Anyways, I love all the #1s, and "Firework" is at the bottom for being a tad generic but even then I'll bop to it if it came on shuffle. The non-singles have aged production.... like you can tell this record was made almost ten years ago lol. Overall, it's a really album mainly because half the album are commercial singles. Glad her team was smart and pushed the right stuff. [8/10]
