halcyonday Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Teenage Dream (2010) by Katy Perry and Born To Die (2012) by Lana Del Rey were both released over a decade ago, both panned at the time of their release, yet time has proven that the GP still loves them as we can see them up there on the streaming charts next to the queen of streaming Taylor Swift and some recent albums released by the new MPGs of this decade. Why did these albums become timeless? What are some of your favorite moments of these eras? Edited May 27 by halcyonday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethereal Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 TD being on par with 1989 (TV) inspite of 1989 having 30 tracks and being a new release and Taylor's massive peak. Time the ultimate truth teller. And yes both albums are huge but TD takes the cake as the more iconic and decade defining one along with 21 and BTD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're removing from context that 1989 OG is still pulling 3-3.5M streams? And btw, 1989 TV has 22 tracks, on par with TD's 19, not 30. Still, TD's (and BTD's) numbers are absolutely excellent. The people are clearly excited for a Katy comeback. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just it's her best known album, with her biggest hits & biggest playlist reach. If you look at her other albums, well… they're in the trenches Prism - 1.8M OOTB - 1.3M Smile - 0.4M Witness - 0.2M 1 3 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw, 1989 TV has 22 tracks, on par with TD's 19, not 30. Also worth mentioning is the fact that Katy and Lana have no other album (let alone albums) that even come close to 'Born To Die' or 'Teenage Dream' in terms of streams, so most of their streaming demand is funneled into these two albums specifically. Whenever someone decides to listen to them, their primary album choice are those two. Taylor meanwhile has not 1, not 2, but 3 other albums the public is currently streaming more than '1989 (TV)', thus taking away attention (and streams) from that album. Taylor listeners evidently are more spread out across multiple albums. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
