A terrible comparison.
MJ took huge artistic risks with Dangerous. He moved away from working with Quincy. He jumped head-first into making exciting, groundbreaking cutting edge urban pop via Teddy Riley and the new jack swing sound. He expanded his songwriting horizon, tackling social issues and racism on tracks like "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" and "Black or White". |

More asspull comparisons I see. Don't the people who write these articles realize that the only thing they're doing is make people want to hear the older music more and therefore, accomplish the opposite of what their articles try to do? | |

This reminds me of the ridiculous comparison between 1989 and RN 1814 as well for having "1989" in common as well.
And Katy Perry sucks, her hooks weren't all that, they were alright. Wide Awake and TGIF were the only ok ones | |

I think all they're trying to say is it's only a flop compared to her own record (hey, double meaning). | |

You can't be serious, Teenage Dream is one of the catchiest hooks I've ever heard. Same with California Gurls and Firework. |

Well first Billboard really has nothing better to write about than dragging out past era's because this era has struggling so much.
But it also has to be looked at the huge disconect from singles to album, with almost everyone it just doesnt translate to album sales anymore, unless your Taylor Swift, Katy can have a ton of number ones from an album and looking at that in ANY other era that would translate into EPIC album, I mean is Teenage Dream an EPIC album? or just filled with singles?
