LOL! Whitney was super pop until Waiting to Exhale. How will I Know, So Emotional, I wanna dance are NOT R&B! Mariah's European/global breakthrough came in 1993-4 with Music Box.
britney has a very different style of dancing from Janet, who imitated her brother a lot, not to mention that Britney's performances and music videos have references like any artist did, but they are primarily altenticos, schoolgirl clothes, red overalls, look green clothes with the snake, the stewardess in blue... they are iconic moments in music, not copy.
I don't know if these are worldwide sales but it's wrong
Control = 14 Million
Rhythm Nation = 14 Million
janet. = 20 Million
The Velvet Rope = 10 Million
All For You = 7 Million
Damita Jo = 3 Million
20 Y.O. = 1.5 Million
Discipline = 1 Million
Unbreakable = 400K
Black Diamond = TBD
Don't know how much Janet Jackson & Dream Street sold and Design Of A Decade sold 10 million.
Morning,
I'm still wondering why her album "Discipline" doesn't appear on any Spotifyl streaming tally? Is it a glitch or something?
With all nepotism and help she had, her numbers are nowhere in big 4 league. Even Enya, tina turner outsold her. And new mpgs are already ahead. The way her fans claim her in league of whitney is beyond me
why so speed negativity to every comment sections it’s so annoying. You don’t like Janet okay cool
I am talking numbers. If u cant digest the fact that her numbers are low, considering how people try to put her in league of big 5, they can be called out. Stating facts = negativity for fans and its fact she had career, bcoz of her brother. There is reason nepotism is called out everywhere.
Being Michael’s sister didn’t help her in anything. In fact this caused more barriers to her. Janet could come out of Michael’s shadow and build her own legacy. This is an anchievment that a few artist could. Janet’s sales really are low if we compare with her influence and status in music industry but she is a LEGEND!!! Period
he may have got her through the door but that doesn’t mean she would’ve been successful as evidenced by the jackson 5 members and latoya.
or most people value music over vocals because by that standard, no offence to elton john’s voice, but I don’t think he would’ve sold very much at all after 1974 if he didn’t make good pop music
Janet Jackson was a gifted dancer, performer and she could write songs. Madonna's only weak spot was vocals, as was Janet. They were better artists than Celine Dion or Whitney Houston. Those ladies had gifted voices but nothing else.
The producers and songwriters gave them all their songs. Please, don't downplay visual/dance/songwriting artists, just because they don't have powerful vocals. You sound delusional. And very shocking coming from a fan of a man that use not only shock value but homophobia, misogyny and domestic verbal violence to sell his music. + He benefited from white privilege (which he admitted), and Dr. Dre's connections to have a VERY successful career, in a very otherwise black male American dominated genre. Get real..
And btw, Janet Jackson's catalog is far more acclaimed by music critics than Celine Dion, Whitney Houston or Mariah. She even has an album inducted into the Library of Congress, so please.... Yes, they are more popular but that doesn't make Janet less than them. Nor does it call for you to speak with a wicked tongue regarding her legacy!!!
You don't seem to know what "nepotism" means, if you mean that she got a record contract because of her name... OK, so did La Toya Jackson, so what's your point exactly ?
The irony of an Eminem fan talking about "lack of singing talent" and "shock factors"...
1. Please stop using the word nepotism if you don't know what it means.
2. Music critics widely consider Janet to be one of the greatest pop artists of all-time, you can keep saying she has "no talent" but that'll only make you look like a pathetic hater.
3. How many fake accounts do you have at this point ?
