Here's how Janet's albums ranked in the decade best albums list: Best of the 80s #8 - Control - not yet reviewed (I'm anticipating a score similar to TVR) #30 - Rhythm Nation - 9.0 Best of 90s #7 - The Velvet Rope - 9.4 #38 - janet. - not yet reviewed (will probably score slightly lower than RN) None of her 2000s made the cut but scored quite well: All For You - 7.8 Damita Jo - 7.8 Unbreakable - 8.0

I was hoping for a Control review considering it just celebrated its 40th, But the AFY review is a pleasant surprise. Plus we all know Control will be in the 9.0s considering it was #8 in their best of 80s list.

Ratings to date (in chronological order): For an IMPRESSIVE average of 8.4

And gives it a 7.8 PitchforkJanet Jackson: All for YouRead Kiana Mickles’ review of the album.

Deserved.

Nastyyyyyyy

Some of her finest songs belonged to this album/era. Underneath the stars Always be my baby Fantasy Melt away Slipping away

1990 Janet for Rhythm Nation

Janet will forever be THAT girl

Billboard Japan Hot 100: 12 (NE) 1 Doesn't Really Matter (Remix) - her highest charting single on this chart. Billboard Japan Hot Overseas Chart (International Songs): 01 (11) 2 Doesn't Really Matter (Remix) Her SECOND #1 on this chart! (Burn It Up! being the 1st)

She just wrapped up a her 4 date concert tour in Japan. All shows looked like sold out/packed. Will be interesting to see the tour gross. Tickets were definitely more expensuve that her last TA tour in Japan.

Meanwhile, janet is touring Japan drawing huge crowds in every city she performs in. Doesnt Really Matter remix with Be First hit #1 on Itunes Japan and debuted at #54 on spotify. She's totally forgotten

Sure.....time.will tell

The last missed opportunity was her docu series. It was watched by 21M viewers in America, got very good media coverage and reviews. People were expecting her to take advantage of this momentum, release new music and launch a new era right after especially since there was indeed new music played in the closing credits of the docu....but nada! She and her team really dropped the ball that time.

Happy birthday to the GOAT - the legend, the icon, the mother of them all Janet Jackson!
