Mess at anyone thinking Katy has paved the way for anyone She took the production sound of Kesha's Animal album, put a cartoon spin on it, and released Teenage Dream (which, let's not forget, was shredded by critics).
The main difference between 1989 and Teenage Dream is the songwriting and cohesiveness. 1989, aside from Shake It Off and Bad Blood, features some great songwriting. No other main pop girl is writing songs as good lyrically as Clean at the moment. All the songs flow and sound cohesive. Teenage Dream, on the other hand, is just silliness. None of the original singles feature good songwriting, the entire album is extremely immature, etc.
I would say 1989 is more of a pop version of Pure Heroine than anything else. It sure isn't anything like Teenage Dream
No one said it was her fault, power to her! We're all just commenting on the mess that is her fans and the critics who think 1989 is superior to Teenage Dream.
Teenage Dream is a cohesive pop record that Katy played a big part in making. It's a fantastic album.

I don't know why people let the imagery define the music Just like "Alejandro" became a "dark song" on ATRL after the video
"If I Blocked Selena this week, would you still love me the same?"

It gives Taylor fans fuel for our pain, reasons to cry about facing adversity as a fan of Hers.
Like Her having 3 #2 peaking songs.
Or multiple #11 peaking songs.
Or Out of the Woods hitting #18 despite almost 200k weekly sales, debuting on top of HDS.

If Wildest Dreams peaks #11 (it won't!) I'll cut a bitch.
Taylor's the first person since literally herself in the Red era (and then since Katy) to have a shot at tying the MJ/Janet/Bruce top tens record, and I'm not going to be pleased if it fails to happen again.

People say I can’t keep comparing direct numbers across years due to the declining market, but what about relative leads from each week? H100 #1s since Youtube kicked in, with fewest weeks doubling the sales of the #10 seller, to gauge how strong they were in relative terms:
(For example, this week the #10 seller sold 65k; the only song that sold at least double that (130k+) was What Do You Mean.
Last week the #10 seller sold 72k; the only song that sold at least double that (144k+) was What Do You Mean.
Based on Kworb's estimates, the week whose chart is coming on Monday, the #10 seller sold 64k; the only song that sold at least double that (128k+) was What Do You Mean.
So that would be 3 weeks with the possibility for more for that song.)
4 Can’t Hold Us, Rude, Wrecking Ball 2 Harlem Shake, Can’t Feel My Face
But Harlem Shake’s weeks had 172% & 117% leads over the #10 sellers of those weeks, vs. Face’s 118% & 108%, so the latter is at the bottom in terms of strength relative to the selling field.
Here you can't use the excuse that the sales for the #1 song are low because sales are low in general, because it's against that low-selling field that the reigning #1 doesn't have a strong advantage.
And of course it's also in the bottom 2 for Streaming peak position (#4) for #1s since Youtube was incorporated.
For those of you getting ready to make your weekly predictions, remember after this Hot 100 there are only nine weeks/two months of charts left in the 2015 Chart Year! Make sure to stop by the Pick 2015 Year End Chart page to either make or update your Top 5, 10, 15, or however many positions you want to make a guess about!
