Which pop star released the album 'Teenage Dream' in 2010?

The story behind the answer

Which pop star released the album “Teenage Dream” in 2010? The answer is Katy Perry. It was Perry’s third studio album, released by Capitol Records on August 24, 2010, and followed her 2008 album One of the Boys.

The album blended polished pop with disco, electronic, rock, funk, house, and hip-hop influences. Its songs focused on young love, celebration, confidence, and personal growth, giving the record a bright, summery sound that became closely associated with Perry’s career peak.

Teenage Dream produced five U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Firework,” “E.T.,” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).” That achievement made Perry the first woman to match a record previously set by Michael Jackson, who had achieved five number-one singles from one album.

A common mix-up is confusing the album with its title song. “Teenage Dream” was also released as a single in July 2010, but both the song and the album are Katy Perry releases. The album was later expanded as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection in 2012.
