Teenage Dream was produced primarily by Dr. Luke and Max Martin, with Benny Blanco, Stargate, and Greg Wells contributing additional productions, and mixing by Serban Ghenea and John Hanes, with Chris O'Ryan recording. It is the only album by a solo artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to produce five number-one singles, "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "Firework," "E.T.," and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", matching the record set by Michael Jackson's Bad (1987). The album sold over 12 million copies worldwide and is certified Diamond by the RIAA (10 million US units). It received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 54th Grammy Awards (2012).
Teenage Dream is the second studio album by Katy Perry, released in August 2010 on Capitol Records and produced by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Benny Blanco, and others, one of the most commercially successful pop albums in chart history, generating five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, a feat previously achieved only by Michael Jackson's Bad. Perry co-wrote most tracks; 'California Gurls' (featuring Snoop Dogg), 'Teenage Dream,' 'Firework,' 'E.T.' (featuring Kanye West), and 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' all reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, with Perry tying Michael Jackson's record. Teenage Dream has been certified nine-times platinum in the United States, reached number one on the Billboard 200, and generated two additional top-five singles beyond the five number-ones. The album is the commercial peak of Perry's career and one of the best-demonstrated examples of Dr. Luke and Max Martin's production formula at its most commercially effective, with Perry's persona providing the lyrical and visual identity that distinguished the material from their other commercial successes.
