Yeah, but you're only pointing out negatieve numbers. She actually seems quite global like Sade, just a little less in Europe. 4 albums above 10 M EAS is very good, at least better than Gaga, Rihanna, Britney and, probably just for now, Adele. That being said, she was never in the the top league of course, and not very well remembered, but not much less than Madonna, Céline or Sade.
SADE is on the same level as Janet, Janet is bigger in US but Sade in Europe.
But Janet's streams are extremely low, which puts her at a disadvantage.
Sade has less releases and better average. And she has great success in usa as british. On album basis she outsold janet
Even 2010 album did better than janet's 2000s releases and her music is timeless passing through generations. Janet was hitmaker of her time in usa atleast, but her music has failed d test of time.
Sade is a soul/jazz band consisting of three white men and a black woman, comparisons with Janet are pointless and irrelevant.
Janet's streams are similar to Madonna or Céline Dion, it's just that they sold three times more albums than her so of course they have three times more streams (Madonna also had significant success in the 2000s, which helps when it comes to streaming).
She also has way more streams than La Toya Jackson, I'm curious how Eminemfan would explain that 😆
Exactly I don’t know lots of young people from the new generation who knows 1 song from Madonna (Vogue maybe at least…) Celine yeah maybe with Titanic song but their catalogue are not classics like Queen or Michael and Janet did RnB new jack swing a musical genre who belongs to a certain era and doesn’t exist anymore.. and Janet has been less active in the past 10 years than both
I really don't think Janet's streams are similar to Madonna or Celine. I'm quite sure her streams are more similar to Cher, Tina Turner, Cindy Lauper and Kylie Minogue.
Look at their streams.
Madonna and Celine have way more streams than Janet.
If you check their 80s and 90s album streams, you will see Madonnas and Celines albums outstream Janets.
"Terrible Numbers" girl bye she has sold 160 Million records WW... Thats not on Madonna’s level but it remains HUGE. Her impact is still discussed today, get over it !
Janet is nearly forgotten these days. In terms of overall success, she's nowhere near the big 4 (Madonna, Céline, Mariah, Whitney):
Best selling artists:
#5. Madonna
#12. Céline
#16. Mariah
#21. Whitney
#67. Janet
Spotify Monthly listeners:
19.9m - Whitney
17.5m - Mariah

Janet Jackson is probably the most impactful female artist ever bar Madonna. Her talent and creativity really inspired tons of artists that came after.
With that being said, she is also the most forgotten LEGEND ever. Not even one of her songs really stood the test of time. Even Kylie Minogue and Enya have atleast one song each that reminds the public of their presence. It pisses me off because she got great discography.
"Janet is nearly forgotten these days. In terms of overall success, she’s nowhere near the big 4 (Madonna, Céline, Mariah, Whitney)"
She never was... It's not that difficult to understand, Céline sold three times more albums than Janet so she has three times more streams, it's logical and expected.
Janet better than Britney?
She has 4 consecutive albums over 10 million, 2 of which are over 20 million
My mistake, I was thinking about consistency, but underestimated her sales
