Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" still breaking records after 10 years of release

[ALBAVEASP]

Katy Perry's sophomore album, Teenage Dream, has set another record breaking achievements after 10 years of it's release.

Her label, Capitol Records, just recently updated the certifications of the said era in preparation of the album's anniversary this August 24th, four days before the release of her fifth record, Smile.

Here are the details:

• Teenage Dream (album) - 8x Platinum
• Teenage Dream (single) - 8x Platinum
• Firework - 12x Diamond

With these, Katy Perry has now surpassed Michael Jackson's record of the highest certified music package (album + singles) with staggering 64.5 million units sold. Notably that these two artists have the same feat of having five No.1 singles in one album (doing so with Teenage Dream and Bad).

And with Firework's hitting a new mark, it also became the most consumed single for a female lead, alongside with another achievement of being the only artist to have 7 songs to sold more than 8 million units in RIAA history.

Congratulations, Katy Perry!

Wow 10 years already   it feels like just yesterday I was smelling that delicious cotton candy scented album at a record store that I never did buy  I did however buy the Complete Confection Edition.

My fave songs from that album are E.T. forever a fave, Last Friday Night, Wide Awake, Part Of Me and the song that should have been a single Hummingbird Heartbeat.

What an iconic album!

Im glad its still been successful and breaking records cause its honestly one of the best albums of the 2010s

8x platinum for a 2010 album  she really snapped with that era

[Blackout2006]

Oof

There was no other era in the time that could overshadow the Teenage Dream (and prism) era, except for loud (which was as huge)

Its truly a Pop Masterpiece

Was a fantastic album and arguably her most successful era ever. She went down hill after it!

From Teenage Dream to This ->

Never been a fan of the sweet candy, bubble gum type of album vision, no matter the artist.

On the other hand, E.T. remains a classic. Teen Dream isn't bad either.

That whole era was great. Great album

  I remember buying this album and unwrapping the plastic then smelling cotton candy. I was like  what is smelling like that in my car and then smelled the CD package 
We can all say what we want about Katy now but Teenage Dream is one of the best pop albums. She could really live off the success of this album

It's amazing that this album hasn't reached diamond status yet like Taylor's 1989.

she got the record for the most generic basic pop album too 

[Jordan Miller]

One of the most successful pop records of our time
