Daydream Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Oh my. I want to say MOTHER but I can’t say that because she looks too young to be. NIECE.

Damien M Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Wow at the Cincinnati show. Why is she giving her best performances (with live vocals) at 50something? BIZARRE, but not complaining. She seems so comfortable onstage. I'm shook, need to see her live SOON.
SinnerCity Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 I' m so happy to see her playing at these festivals again, she absolutely killed Cancinatti! Absolutely espectacular, the dancing, the live vocals (?), and I live for these behind the scenes videos she posted, seeing her still so committed to her art is beautiful. It's a good time for new music and it saddens she scrapped black diamond at this point, no excuse to not release a stand alone single even just for us.

robbyds Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 The 1-2 punch of Essence and Cincinnati festivals! She is really killing it on stage at 56!!! Her stamina is incredible. Now give us Black Diamond and go on a world tour!
TheGreatestX Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Anyone know why SOAG was chosen as a single over COGU? There's no way they thought SOAG was top 10 material

There's no way they thought SOAG was top 10 material It got lucky to make it to #28. An actual commercial single would’ve pushed it into the top 20 tho. I think she just wanted an excuse to work with Missy, and Missy didn’t really fit on any of the other songs. I personally would’ve chosen “Come on Get Up” as the main single and sent “Feels So Right” to Urban AC. Edited July 25, 2022 by JCsNumba1Fan
Damien M Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Son Of A Gun is her best music video + one of the best songs she's EVER done Sleek, edgy, dark and early 00s fashion. Come On Get Up is boring and wayyyyy too saccharine, it would've been a hit but blah. Edited July 25, 2022 by Damien M

TheGreatestX Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Made For Now has passed 80 million views on Youtube!
mjj Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Janet's videos deserve more views. It's a disgrace scream is her only video with 100m views. She doesn't deserve this.
HandsomeGumDrop Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 All these female artists getting their records and albums updated by the RIAA and we gonna wait 100 years for Janet to ever update her U.S. stats Control, Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet. are diamond eligible albums and Design Of A Decade is catching up becoming diamond in a few years Janet is one of the few female artist to have multiple diamond albums in the United States but she remains stuck at 26 million album sales in the U.S. Janet sold 78 million records in the U.S. she should at least be over 100 million last time she was updated by the RIAA was in 2006 with her 20 Y.O. album that's 16 years ago but she release two more albums after that are eligible for certifications Discipline and Unbreakable is very soon eligible for a Gold certification No Sleeep is already a gold eligible song Number Ones is eligible to. From a recent RIAA chart of female eligibilities Janet is at least outdated with 80-90 RIAA certifications eligibilities from records, albums, music DVD collection etc so she sold way over 100 million sales in music in the United States.

When you have songs like COGU, Trust A Try, FSR and China Love, THAT'S what you choose? That song and 9/11 killed the era, I fear. 11 hours ago, HandsomeGumDrop said: All these female artists getting their records and albums updated by the RIAA and we gonna wait 100 years for Janet to ever update her U.S. stats Control, Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet. are diamond eligible albums and Design Of A Decade is catching up becoming diamond in a few years Janet is one of the few female artist to have multiple diamond albums in the United States but she remains stuck at 26 million album sales in the U.S. Janet sold 78 million records in the U.S. she should at least be over 100 million last time she was updated by the RIAA was in 2006 with her 20 Y.O. album that's 16 years ago but she release two more albums after that are eligible for certifications Discipline and Unbreakable is very soon eligible for a Gold certification No Sleeep is already a gold eligible song Number Ones is eligible to.

Is there an official breakdown of each album and single stat? I know she's extremely undercertified, but too many different stats keep floating around.

Either go to her UKmix sales page or her tumblr sales page Chartsartists on Twitter show how much she's eligible they tell you how outdated she is but this picture is far outdated https://www.google.com/search?q=janet+jackson+riaa&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ALiCzsa47HCydOxShspJqIPuBepApy5dRg%3A1660150633341&source=hp&ei=aePzYqPxEcWIptQPzOWtuAM&oq=janet+jackson+riaa&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECAAQGDoHCCMQ6gIQJzoICAAQsQMQgwE6BQgAEIAEOggIABCABBCxAzoECAAQAzoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6BggAEB4QCFDnCVjNMmDXNmgBcAB4AIABpQOIAdcRkgEJMy44LjAuMS4xmAEAoAEBoAEFsAED&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img#imgrc=iUUHXYPurpqibM

I doubt her first two albums are eligible for Gold (in her book, she states her debut album only sold 250k in the USA and Dream Street did much worse) and All For You is only certified 2xs platinum, but it's album sales are over 3 million.

Unless the debut has only sold 250k since 1983, when it was in the top 10 best selling R&B albums of the year via Billboard (something people conveniently forget when calling it a bomb), I’m sure it’s eligible for gold. You have to remember it’s been 40 years and to think the album hasn’t shipped 500k in 40 years is just… nah. It was re-released multiple times according to discogs (in 1984 and the 1990s) on CD, cassette and vinyl. I’m not sure if it was in any club like BMG either. Shipments, not just sales. I think it has sold and shipped 500k in 40 years. Edited August 10, 2022 by JCsNumba1Fan

UKmix and Chartsartists are reliable sources they estimate female artists eligibility which songs and albums they said are eligible for many artist the eligibilities are true like they correctly did Mariah and Beyoncè sales eligibilities which turned out to be accurate. The Janet Jackson album is actually on the pace to become Platinum due to it's heavy streaming when all of Janet albums chart and that's most likely point to how much it sold in it's debut we are 12 years in the future from the True You book albums and songs always sells and All For You is eligible is eligible for 3x Platinum in the U.S.
