5 Influential Albums That Turn 10 Years Old This March

2011 was a time where pop music was saturated with dance beats and positive lyrics. Whether these five albums utilized those trends or worked against them, they all influenced popular music.

The Weeknd, House of Balloons

A stark contrast to the upbeat, EDM sounds of the early 2010s, "House of Balloons" sent music in a whole new direction. The Weeknd takes listeners through all the stages of a high. He warns us yet invites us to try to enter his world of partying, drugs, and women.

2. Britney Spears, Femme Fatale

10 years ago, Britney Spears released 'Femme Fatale'. "Till the World Ends" was the second single for her seventh studio, and it went #3 on the Billboard Top 100. Britney proved on 'Femme Fatale' that her reign in pop is not to be challenged.

3. Lupe Fiasco, Lasers

You may remember 'Lasers' for Lupe Fiasco's request to "unmake" it. Although 'Lasers' is not the project Lupe appears to be most proud of, the album debuted at number one.

4. Chris Brown, F.A.M.E

Short for "Forgiving All My Enemies" and "Fans Are My Everything", Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. debuted at #1 on the Billboard US 200 with three charting singles. Play "Look At Me Now", "Yeah 3x", or "Beautiful People" at any party, and you're guaranteed to get a positive reaction from the crowd. 'F.A.M.E.' also won Brown his first Grammy for Best R&B Album and is certified double platinum.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
