Thank you. Although I do not believe that the stats of CM are an acccurate estimate of Janets sales, the point is still stand - Janet sold millions and millions of albums outside the US. How can a local artist achieve that? Not to mention selling out arenas and stadiums in other countries/continents. This local argument is tired and is the stuff of pure fiction. Lol!

A reminder that Janet's 6th biggest seller All For You, sold 7M copies worldwide with only half coming from the US. The Velvet Rope sold even more internationally than Stateside. How "local" of her

Maybe not literally but the odds are in her favor considering a very warm reception by radio, sizeable downloads (there was a report that it has started to generate impressive itunes downloads) and a much awaited followup album. Virgin surely will not allow the firat single to stall.

Peak - Janet Career - Still Janet Saying otherwise is being ignorant.

Just A Little While debuted at #45 and was the highest debut of the week. It was bannwd right after the SB. Janet was still the radio darling at that point. It was a guaranteed top 5.

Very impressive!

I echo the opinion that Janet's biggest problem is that she doesn't have a competent legacy team behind her. Her "team" comprises of her brother Randy and friends she has been working with for decades. And they do the barest minimum, sometimes not even. Her playlisting is almost non existent, hence the abhorrent streaming numbers. It also doesn't help that she seems uninterested in fixing her digital footprint and hesitant to release new material. Her last album was 2015 and Made For Now was released 2018. But to claim that she is unknown by the GP is ridiculous. She was, is and will always be famous all over the world. She chopped her hair recently and went viral. That's how famous she is - especially to POC. Can she have her "moment?" For sure. We witnessed it with an organic, viral hit with Someone To Call My Lover. We just need her to be more intentional in creating similar opportunities and for this she needs a professional team behind her.

Janet in 2nd place, despite the backlash and the cancelation.

Surprised to see Rhythm Nation on a UK list. Was expecting Together Again but I'll take it

Janet "the blueprint" jackson

50-50.... Got traumarized already when she said during the TA tour announcement "and yes, there will be NEW music."

Hope it really happens this time around. She has let us down many times with promise of new music tbat never came to frution

And thehighest grossing DEBUT tour until today (I believe)

Celine is such a beloved legend! What a victorious comeback. She is truly one of a kind. Congrats queen!
