1989 was run into the ground with the last two flops whereas Teenage Dream never slowed down once.

The backfire.

ATRL is right for once! Katy had more impact.

All of this.

Teenage Dream is simply a rare moment in pop culture that can not and will not be replaced or topped, even if someone tries to clone it.

that has nothing to do with impact

OT: Teenage Dream

The critically acclaimed one that won AOTY.

If anything this just goes to show how little Grammys really matter. Even AOTY couldn't stop 1989 from fading. I rarely hear TS on the radio anymore and her last single was what... 3 months ago?

But Avril Lavigne did all this back in 2007 with The Best Damn Thing.... so... let's not pretend Katy was the first to work with Luke or Max for an album, and make easy to play radio friendly pop.
