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. www.billboard.com/pro/janet-jackson-signs-believe-music-publishing-deal

The only way to increase her streaming is if she and her team push/pay for more playlisting. This is obviously something she doesn't care to do or it would have been done years ago. She's content with touring and doing residencies and even that will decline as she gets into her 60's. I think she's completely fine with her time in the spotlight being over.

Come See About Me. I love the way Diana emotes the lyrics. The somber lyrics over the cheerful production 🤌🏼.

It always amazes me at the end of TVR Tour when she goes into Together Again with FULL choreography while she's completely drenched in sweat. She was a freight train and in top physical shape. Also the initial 1,2,3 punch of TVR, You and If was extremely physically demanding.The ORIGINAL!!!Thots? 🤔The Velvet Rope and Butterfly. What a time for music!Paula, J. Lo and Nicki have been judges on AI. The criteria is not that steep, sis. And Janet can actually harmonize and isn't tone deaf.While Meter Ho certainly is far from my favorite Janet album, I hope the Janetors can give it a nice boost tomorrow. Were such flops as a unit and can never seem to organize or come together properly.This is an Onika-level trip down the slopes we're witnessing, JanFam! 🎿🎿🎿Gil said the setlist is complete and there are going to be surprises that have us gagging.
