Good time to put the original video on Youtube

 

Hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday, make sure you praise Her today

 

I've been starving for new Janet music for so long that I'm willingly listening to 20 Y.O. and starting to genuinely like it, even the duds like Show Me

All I Want for Christmas Is Black Diamond

Praising 20YO...

Discipline is a SERVE. She delivered classics on that one, I always stood by it

I've grown soft in my old age on both 80 YO and Disappointment

Spill. Never understood the fans acting like it's the nadir of her career when the album is full of bops

Still the craziest Janet related phrase/meme to come out this year:

Next viral track? lol

Ugh, DJ would have been another nice successful era for her. I can't see anything from the album being as big as AFY, but the all the 3 singles would have easily gone top 10.

Hotshot debut of the week. Surely ir would have been another top 10/top 5 single without the blacklist

Very fresh sound from her but also catchy, would be a sure fire top 5 and the. I want you is another top 10 rnb with all nite has the potential to be number 1. Such a perfect era ruined. DJ would probably also score her a highest debut ever too, can see it pulling 600-800k!

So when is this getting the Someone To Call My Lover treatment

She's back to Japan on tour in June

It's not what you say
Before we start to play
It's what you say after
That makes me want to stay

So finally her clearing of the backyard with Cinq is donezo with that masters auction mess way back in 2022...at least we hope. I don't expect anything in regards to new music being released though, as this is just about a new publishing deal with her old music catalog.

Janet Jackson has signed a new administration deal with Believe Music Publishing that will see the music icon bring her entire catalog under the French music entity's purview, the company announced today (March 19).

Jackson has sold over 180 million records worldwide and is part of the Billboard Hot 100 five-decade club — which also consists of Cher and Madonna — following her feature on Cardi B's "Principal" last October, which debuted at No. 92 on the chart, giving her a Hot 100 hit in each decade since the 1980s. Her catalog consists of 11 studio albums between her self-titled 1982 debut and her latest, 2015's Unbreakable, seven of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and 10 No. 1 singles on the Hot 100. Her first appearance on the Hot 100 took place in 1986, with "When I Think of You" off her breakout album, Control.

"Janet Jackson is truly a one-of-a-kind artist, with a strong vision for her music and where she wants to drive her career," Chris Meehan, Believe's CEO of publishing, said in a statement. "She brings an iconic and rich catalog to Believe Music Publishing and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come."

Believe launched its music publishing arm last October, more than two years after it acquired U.K.-based publisher Sentric Music Group. Meehan founded Sentric in 2006, joining Believe as CEO of publishing following his company's acquisition.

"Janet Jackson is one of the most influential and important songwriters in music, with a unique creative vision," said Peter McCamley, Believe's vp of publishing, in a statement. "We're thrilled to welcome her to the Believe Music Publishing family, and we very much look forward to working with her in the future."

Jackson was honored at the American Music Awards in May 2025, taking home the Icon Award. She is also a recipient of five Grammys, including best music video, long form, for "Rhythm Nation 1914" in 1990; best rhythm & blues Song for "That's the Way Love Goes" in 1994; best short form music video for "Scream" with her brother, Michael Jackson, in 1996; best short form music video for "Got 'til It's Gone" in 1998; and best dance recording in 2002 for "All for You."

Believe Music Publishing's roster also includes Djo, Eli & Fur, Don Broco, Enter Shikari, Monobloc, The Lottery Winners, Ms Banks, Sammy Virji and La Fleur.

Although saying that, it is a possibility with what the CEO said:

So now I'm curious if Janet's Rhythm Nation Records company will still be active considering she also signed away Unbreakable to Believe Music Publishing now.

Her company can still be of use for other business. I wonder what happen to new music? Is this publishing group a proper label or just publishing deal only? That means she still need her company to launch new album should she want to

Praying for Who to be put on streaming for AFY25

Just gave Discipline a listen after all those years and it's much better than i remember. Gonna check other albums as well.

I guess I should have known better

I honestly don't think new music is coming. And I've kind of made peace with it.

The main windows for her to have had a commercially viable return were: Unbreakable (she did not maximize that frame), the Made For Now/Afro-Wave she was on around 2018, and Black Diamond in 2020.

IMO, it's less that she's about to turn 60. She's still "Janet Jackson". I don't doubt there is scope for her to mount a solid legacy act album-centered campaign that could go #1 on a quiet week.

It's more that I just don't get the hustle factor from her anymore. I also don't feel like "management" is positioned for her to go the type of all-out to make a big "first album in almost a decade" scale of campaign work.

Also, what's her label situation? Believe is just for publishing and sync (commercials, films, etc for her catalog). If she still wants to go via her Rhythmn Nation label again, then it would need to be a distribution partnership. Major labels aren't typically big on that for legacy acts, so we'd - at best - we'd be looking at another BMG situation. Which would be bittersweet as she shoulda just kept ish going with them after Unbreakable went #1 instead of that Cinq nonsense. Again, management.

She gives the vibe of wanting minimal industry stress and to collect her coins via touring. Add to that the fact that she knows her touring coin looks the same whether the tour is centered on new music or a greatest hits and it becomes easy to see why she's been maxing out the latter.

Would love to be proven wrong on this, but I've equally made peace with where things are and where they'll likely stay.
