I got some surprised reactions when I stated 1989 is the biggest pop era of the 2010s so far, but how can it be argued? The only bigger era of the 2010s was 21, and whether you consider 21 a pop era in the same vein as 1989 is up to you entirely.

I'm calling 1989 the biggest pop era because of its "poppier" sounds, beats, and style of music, which differs significantly from 21.

Do you agree?

Eh i don't really see how it overshadows 21. 2nd place sure.

Yes the album is great but sis 21 by Adele is way better

Yes

you were already clocked once

21 says hi

Yassss

No Adele's era was bigger.

If we're not counting 21 as part of this, and I wouldn't count it since it's really not straight pop, then yes. BTW was not as big as 1989 will be. Teenage Dream, when taking into account the relatively small tour and how easily 1989 will outsell it in albums, was not as big as 1989 will be. No Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney, or Madonna era was as big as 1989 will have been within a few months from now.

Not at all. 21 is the biggest by far.

This was my point with calling 1989 the biggest (pure) POP era.

21 is obviously the biggest and I think Teenage Dream is still bigger as an era as of right now, but we will have to see how the rest of Taylor's singles do and how well her tour does.

Teenage Dream tho... (or was that like late 2009)

Yes

Technically TFM sold 8 million this decade and had more memorable singles, also 1989 will probably end up outselling TD by 500k-1m but its single success is not coming close to it, so TD is also the bigger pop era. Poor Taylor

Since 21 was not a pop album, it would have to be 1989.

21 is an album made up of SOUL and R&B.

21 won Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys. It's pop.
