"Made for Now" not even at 40M after all this time

This album exemplifies Black dance music though.

Janet got career-defining hits in her fourth and fifth hit eras and was still scoring #1 albums 30 years in... she lasted FAR longer than Katy and I doubt Katy will be booking arenas in her 50s and 60s.

"We Are the People" has a melancholy nostalgia to it that "Walking On a Dream" can't match imo

He looks fine, but I'm not attracted to him. And it's not because he's not white, or because he's fem. Some of his roles are cute!

This is basically my exact perspective on her journey as well. And tbh you can lump hard Candy in with MDNA and RH as far as chasing relevance and trendiness - it was the first time she had genuinely felt behind the ball with the Timbaland/JT collab 2-3 years after they were at their hottest. Definitely came off like she was having a bit of a midlife crisis turning 50, exacerbated by the divorce.

I'm not at all surprised and not triggered by Janet leading this It aligns with how the site sees her in general and every other lady has a much bigger fanbase on here/everywhere. At least she has her shooters who get it!

Came for this But "Fast In My Car" is absolutely a banger.

Love her, but there is nothing Rihanna has done that one of the other ladies can't substitute for.

I'm fat (around 100kg) and my boyfriend is hot. But I am also cute and have some muscle under the fat, so.

The way I gagged when I first discovered this song/video... the lyrics, the delivery, the edge, the sexy vampy sleaze of it all. So iconic!

Flopping season's over

It's too late for me to still send right nn

LACKSTAR is such a step down from Fountain Goddess... I already knew but thought returning to it could change my mind...

I'm absolutely shaking at the thought of sitting through Back to Basics imminently. @Ace Reject can I AI-generate my responses?

I don't know why people act like she was a surefire star waiting to break out. She's gorgeous and a great performer but there's nothing interesting about her music or persona, no standout "Tyla" thing. "Water" always felt likely to be a flash in the pan moment to me.

Deserved! "I'm the Drama" and "Chase It" deserved similar numbers too.

It's one of the only other catchy songs on the album lol.

This "Break the Ice" sequel serve

I thought CM put Janet at 79M...?

Yes and no. It felt like a natural enough progression from Music. MX was absolutely jarring after the writing camp pop of Rebel Heart.

"Scream" is not her #1 streaming hit, it's just what's most popular right now because of the MJ doc. "TTLWG" and "Together Again" have 70M more streams.

IDK, you're really downlplaying that CC had one of the most successful stadium tours of all time. I know it wasn't a long-running tour, but it gave the album a lot more attention than some "chapters" on Spotify. It's a bit shocking how poor the streaming longevity was despite the high-profile tour. Every gay person (and many women) I know went.

Discipline still isn't certified? Damn.
