I agree. Most artists merge their single and album versions for stream counts, which is why I wanted to note this discrepancy. This is another example of her team not doing their job to help her catalogue.

I absolutely hate it that she is not getting her flower by the public while still alive. It irks me greatly.

On the other hand, I feel like Janet has given up in a way. I don't see a drive or passion from her to curate/promote her past catalog (even by keeping it up-to-date as you noted in your post). Or to release new music. Ugh. It is what it is at this point. Regardless, Janet gave us greatness for all those who search for it.

Damita Jo has so many great singles that can easily be a strings of top tens singles. I need Feedback who go viral cause it's too good a song to be ignored.

The (deleted) press release

Janet Jackson and Airtab Music have entered into an agreement to produce and present Janet Jackson: CONTROL 40 — THE AIRTAB MUSIC MOVIE, a filmed concert event marking the 40th anniversary of her album CONTROL. Filming is scheduled to take place at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, with the production directed by Leslie Small.

Conceived as a major Airtab Music filmed entertainment production, Janet Jackson: Control 40 will bring together one of the most influential artists of all time with an ambitious, cinematic celebration of the music and performances that have defined generations.

Filming is scheduled for December 12, 2026, at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, where fans from around the world will gather for an unforgettable live celebration of Janet Jackson's extraordinary career. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Leslie Small, the Airtab Music production will feature a cinematic multi-camera concert presentation alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes access, creating the definitive filmed document of one of music's most celebrated performers.

Released in 1986, Control marked a defining moment in music history. More than a multi-platinum album, it became a cultural statement of independence, confidence, and artistic evolution, producing timeless hits including 'What Have You Done for Me Lately,' 'Nasty,' 'When I Think of You,' and 'Control.' Four decades later, Janet Jackson: Control 40 — The Airtab Music Movie honors the album that transformed popular music while celebrating the unparalleled legacy that followed.

Inspired by the legacy of Control, the concert experience will celebrate Janet Jackson's entire body of work, showcasing the songs that have shaped four decades of music history. From the groundbreaking anthems of Control and Rhythm Nation 1814 to timeless favorites including 'Miss You Much,' 'Escapade,' 'Love Will Never Do (Without You),' 'If,' 'Again,' 'That's the Way Love Goes,' 'Together Again,' and 'All for You,' the production will honor the extraordinary catalog that established Janet Jackson as one of the defining artists of her generation.


The project is currently being positioned for a global theatrical release, followed by worldwide distribution across major streaming platforms, bringing this landmark concert film to audiences around the globe.

'Few artists have changed the course of popular music the way Janet Jackson has,' said Dennis Cunningham, Founder and CEO of Airtab Music. 'Control wasn't simply a hit album—it was a cultural turning point that empowered an entire generation and redefined what a global superstar could be. We are incredibly proud that Airtab Music is producing this landmark film in partnership with Janet, Randy Jackson and their team. Janet Jackson: Control 40 — The Airtab Music Movie represents exactly the kind of ambitious global music entertainment we want Airtab Music to be known for: iconic artists, extraordinary live moments and premium filmed experiences built to reach audiences around the world.'
As anticipation builds toward December 12, Janet Jackson: Control 40 — The Airtab Music Movie promises to deliver an unforgettable live and filmed experience honoring four decades of groundbreaking music, innovation, performance and cultural influence.

Supporting the production are renowned talent executives Ari Landau and the team at AJL Talent, along with Derrek 'Doc' Clarke of 221 Ent, LLC, whose longstanding relationships and expertise continue to help shape world-class live entertainment projects.

...watch it just be her 2025 Vegas shows production and setlist filmed for cinema release, and for her and Randy to just profit off of it while continuing to ignore releasing any new music

"Four Decades of Hits"

She hasn't even released anything in the last decade

80s, 90s, 00s, 10s (no sleeep being an adult chart number 1). Technically they didn't lie. Can Janet please just attach herself to some newer aritists projects please, she can get a hit that way and that would be five decades of hits……

I just want this to be true and don't care whether it's just a rehash of her previous settings and production. Plus, Vegas is her best production post AFY so I wouldn't complaint. See that ugly stage of SOTW which is a downgrade from the already low budget Unbreakable production…..

Tickets already went on sale and they are so expensive

Feel like the one stop may gross to 8-12million alone and the production and the whole thing would pay by the audience alone. Anything else is profit.

I'm looking forward to the movie and hope it's screened in my country (but I doubt it since Christina's christmas one wasn't)

One thing that has been on my mind is that she said she was gonna release new music this year... I truly hope she wasn't referencing to the Doesn't Really Matter remix

How sick in the head you have to be to pay such prices without thinking about it. This trend with increasingly extreme prices must be stopped immediately. Concerts become more and more inedible with such aspects and every artist who does not affect them or has a say becomes automatically unsympathetic and far from any reality that affects his own fans.

I do think the concert revenue in itself would probably pay off the whole production and the rest is just pure profit. Randy is good at grabbing money.
