base talk "Rhythm nation 1814" had 4 #1 singles, did you know them before joining ATRL?

[Raptus]

 

 

[I54X]

I only heard Black Cat because Christina Aguilera performed it, other than that. I had no idea. 

[FSXP]

For certain I knew Escapade cause people always said “we make the rules up as we go along and break em all if we’re not having fun” and ppl referenced the chorus a lot.

 

I knew clips of the videos of the others for different reasons. Black Cat cause it was a stage performance video that was used a lot for Janet. Miss You Much for the dance break. Love Will Never Do cause her hair was randomly different and the love interest was attractive to me as a kid lol. 

[SupremeGoddess]

RN is a fad in europe and i say this as Janet stan. Control, Janet. and The Global Rope had much more impact

 

Whoops Now was like huge in the radio here, whilst I never heard any of the RN songs before getting into her  

[greeneyedsoul]

I knew about Escapade. 

[Delusional]

I only knew Miss You Much from drag race I think

[Armani?]

Black Cat & Love Will Never Do, probably not

 

Miss You Much & Escapade. Probably yes

[makeme]

Yes I knew about the singles from the #1 album of 1990 before I joined a pop culture website. 

[Mitsouko]

Yes. Escapade and LWNDWY are glorious. Miss You Much has a good house remix by Shep Pettibone. Black Cat is ridiculous.

[Badgalbriel]

No. Janet is unfortunately unknown outside of her few main markets. Which is a shame cause I got into her discography recently and she has some really good songs. 

[StonedSoulPicnic]

Yes. My parents love the Jacksons.

[mystery]

I never heard any of the songs before I got into her discography. The album is complete excellence though.

[MingYouToo]

Janet is a non factor in Asia so I didn't know most of her songs, even when migrating to the U.S., it wasn't until I got into pop culture that I learned about her songs.

 

Still don't know a single one of her songs aside from All for You, a career ending bop!

[tachiwaka]

Yes. But I’m black. And have black parents who idolize Janet. 

[burninredhot]

Not really. But again the only pop girls actually relevant from that era in my country were Madonna and Celine Dion 

[SLIME]

Yes. In fact, I actually had all of Janet’s single peak positions memorized before I learned my ABC’s. She was that big in my country!

[Solaria]

I discovered the entire Rhythm Nation album through Drag Race  I got obsessed with ''If'' first (S10 finale lipsync) and then listened to RN right after

[Doogle]

I joined in 2013 and didn’t know the RN songs but knew of its legacy. I remember hearing Miss You Much for a rate in 2015 or so and got into the album a while after. Shoutout to whoever made that rate back then lol

 

I think Escapade was one of my top played songs of 2019

[John Slayne]

i didn't know these specifically, but i knew a couple other Janet songs before i really got into her. she has a great discography, hoping she'll bring her new tour to Europe

nnn i'm white and have parents who don't give a damn about ha and i'm still educated. 

 

 

[favorite crime]

i don't know them now. only janet songs i know now are all for you, velvet rope songs and mj collab 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Yes ofc.

[nadiamendell]

Of course. These are all classics, though the fact that Black Cat went #1 when Rhythm Nation itself didn't is just... 

[Hot Volcano]

Before joining ATRL, I only knew Janet from the Scream video

But I'm pretty sure I've heard Rhythm Nation before. 

 

Now my favorite song of hers is Feedback! Deserved to be a big comeback for her, can't believe it only peaked at #19

[Post Malone]

I didn't even know about the album's existence prior to joining atrl
