I love "Teenage Dream", but it is not an impactful album of the 2010s at all. Just an immaculately executed era with iconic singles, but not one that influenced anything in particular. 

 

Ironically, I'd compare it to Michael Jackson's "Bad". Huge success, impressive rollout, memorable high budget music videos, but not something that shifted the industry. "Thriller" had already set the blueprint for the execution of pop eras plus the idea of each new single being its own pop culture moment. "Bad" just rode that wave to more ambitious heights.

 

Sonically, "Teenage Dream" is quintessential early 2010s bubblegum pop, but it was part of the trend rather than the one leading it. Hope you can see where I'm coming from.
