GGGB easily.

[ElectricFrancis]

GGGB by far. TD hits won't be remembered. (excepting Firework).

And Take a Bow and Disturbia from the re-release of GGGB were huge. Part Of Me and Wide Awake are local.

Now compare that to Disturbia and see the difference between local and international.

Katy's singles slay in English-speaking countries (which are the most important markets), but not as much in the rest of the world. While her album sells well (at least Gold) basically anywhere.

GGGB is one of the greatest albums of all time. TD is just another pop album. So GGGB by far

GGGB.

Umbrella was just huge, huge.

It was, but that was just one song.

Teenage Dream narrowly wins overall.

Everything points at a GGGB victory.

True, but I'm not sure what this has to do with which is the more successful era?
I'll just rest my case with TD selling far more records and having a more successful tour.

I guess that has to do with the total of singles sold worldwide
But I honestly wouldn't know which one to pick, both albums had exceptional longevity, big totals and an incredible number of hits.

The fact that GGGB sold almost as much singles as the TD era before the digital explosion should easily tell you how big of an era GGGB was.

Album sales and tour gross too?

According to Wikipedia, Disturbia was only No 1 in 3 countries (Belgium, New Zealand, US).

Part Of Me was No 1 in 6 (UK, Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, US, Venezuela); that's excluding Scotland which isn't actually a country.
