Hey MJD! Do you know how many copies Together Again sold in Germany and France?
They kinda did because Mariah and Whitney were both pop/r&b from the beginning.
You do realize Mariah is an amazing writer as well. Janet and Mariah both had to prove that they were amazing writers and still don't get credit. Also Madonna actually is a great writer too, her lyrical ability is not that of Mariah or Janet imo(coming from a stan) but her ability to write great melodies and hooks is underrated. Janet, Madonna, and Madonna are all amazing songwriters and you shouldn't have to put one of the down to uplift Janet.
The Velvet Rope was certified 2x-Platinum in Japan. That's 400,000. Not 275,000.

Hello MJD,
The website below shows that Janet was given a 2x-Platinum cert January 1999 for Japan.

That's just an in-house record company award, to her kind of management company JDJ. It's not an actual recording industry organisation award, given on the back of actual audited sales.
Looks like she received the plaque when sales were 200k=Platinum. Platinum was later changed to 250,000, so the updated cert on the website would have been only Platinum and not 2x. Platinum has gone back down to 200k nowadays. Is it possible she passed 400,000 in Japan with The Velvet Rope?
I am surprised that the "Janet" album did not di better in UK. The album had 4 Top Ten Singles and 8 Top 20 singles in the UK. Despite that, the album is only 2x-Platinum in UK.
HI, The album "Discipline" doesn't appear on her EAS total, Spotify tool... Do you know why?

it is possible we could get a break down on janet jacksons cspc sales by decade?
Lol Maybe you’re a bit deaf because from Thriller to the end of his career Michael did more pop music oriented than his sister
HI,
Is it normal that the album "Discipline" is not on her Spotify number tool? As well, do we know what's the "official" reason for most of her music videos not being available on Youtube when everyone's else are?...
