Albums Turning 15 in 2024
The year 2009 marked a transformative era for pop music.
It set the tone for the sound of the 2010s and also solidified or introduced a number of big new stars. Justin Bieber made his explosive teen-pop debut, while Lady Gaga further expanded the smash success of her debut album with a boundary-pushing standalone expanded edition.
The year also ushered in the electro-pop resurgence with releases from Owl City and La Roux, and pushed forward the Disney teen-pop agenda with releases from Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato and more.

Time sure flies, and as another new year unfurls, it's hard to believe all these albums and EPs are turning 15 in 2024.
