Janet Jackson - Charts & Sales : Make Me enters UK Airplay Chart

[Wayne]

Shes the little sister of the worlds' most famous singer since Elvis. She's always been in his shadow, in spite of producing better music (IMO) and being an all round better artist. She is one of Billboards most successful chart acts of the last two decades, and is one of the top10 best-selling female artists of all time (albums + singles + other records). She is Janet

Her albums sales aren't a reflection of her single sales at all! :o

Thanks for the sales info Wayne! Always nice to see what Janet has sold.

Fingers crossed she will pass the 70 million mark with her next era.

Does anyone else think she is due another Greatest Hits? That could be a massive seller.

[Wayne]

YEAH for sure! Wasn't her last GH like over a decade ago?!

As we’ve been reporting for the last few months, Janet Jackson has been on the brink of inking a new deal with A&M Records – the label she began her career on. Well, according to the New York Daily Post, the deal was finalised with the Interscope-housed label last month.

Interestingly, the label – on which Janet saw the release of 2 of the biggest albums of her career ‘Control’ and ‘Rhythm Nation’ – always had plans to release a Janet greatest hits LP – so say our sources, yet have gone all out in the way of promotion and having Janet herself board, since signing her.

According to the newspaper, A&M/Interscope wants ‘Number Ones’ to remind people how great Janet is. There’s the hoping it’ll wet the public’s appetite for Janet and pave the way for her new music.

Particularly amped for Janet’s new album is A&M/Interscope executive Jimmy Iovine (who janet was snapped out with last month), who has has enlisted hitmaker Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins to oversee the album.

“Jimmy has given the mandate to make this Janet record a success,” reports the paper. “He believes that he has the right team in place to finally take Janet back to the top of the music charts. It’s a top priority for the label”

As at writing, the album as a pencilled-in release window of 2nd-quarter 2010.

To say the confirmation of the deal has me uber amped would be the biggest of understatements. Very much a rooter for the underdog, I’ve been waiting the longest for the all the pieces of the jigsaw to re-align for Ms. Jackson (if you’re nasty) and they seem to be doing just that. A team and label who are fully behind her, a super-producer overseeing the project, and all that jazz. Could 2010 be the year Janet re-asserts her place at the top? We sure hope so!
