The singer shared some throwback photos and video on Instagram to mark the occasion, captioning the post “today #TeenageDream becomes a teen.” Released August 24, 2010, Teenage Dream is only the second album in history, and the first by a woman, to have five #1 singles. The other was Michael Jackson’s Bad.

Adam Levine’s model wife, Behati Prinsloo, is giving fans a glimpse into the couple’s family life, sharing a new carousel of photos on Instagram.
