The cover is one of the most iconic photos in music, the songs appeal to everyone, every single had its own hype around it, every video has more than 100 million views (WA will get there in couple of months). It became the first female album to sell more than 50 million records worldwide, broke hot100 top10 history. It had amazing longetivity and has sold till now more than 12x its opening week. It lasted for more than 2 years and mad a HUGE mark in pop music history. Also the first female album with 5 number ones (6 actually). So do you think it is the best known pop album of the last couple of years?

no.

Second to 21 (gagging).

Yes

21 and TFM

Success =/= Iconic

21 and Teenage Dream

Yep! After MDNA.

No but very very close.

It's definitely up there.

No

This one kinda disagrees tho



but yeah, TD is ONE of the iconics albums from these last years tho

No, The Fame was the last one.

You forgot it also produced the most deluded stans thinking a forgotten pop album can be "iconic"

Yep.

If people can get WP for using awful stan nicknames, can they also get it for misusing the word 'iconic'?

Yep

I think it will be an important part of pop music history, but ATRL seriously needs to put a ban on the word iconic.

I dont get when people say it has filler? HH, WAILF, NLTM, Pearl, CTD etc. may not be to your liking but they are in no way only placed there just to fill up space.

I'm not sure TD produced Gaga stans... I might be wrong tho.
