Did you complie this list? Together Again is missing a lot of streams, its streams were not combined like other songs here.

Together Again (The Velvet Rope) - 105,555,820
Together Again (Best of Number Ones) - 8,340,227

= 113,896,047 streams

That puts it at #50 on this list.

All For You received it's biggest streaming month on YouTube last month, since being unblocked globally and remastered to HD last year!

March 2022
~840,000 views

In February 2022 it received ~600,000 views and it's previous high was ~650,000 views in July 2021. (Source: Kworb)

The video also surpassed 7,000,000 views in the past 24 hours!

I love how we all come here to comment about how desperately Janet needs her catalogue recertified. I thought that after the docummentary addressing her career, she was going to take care about that but now its silence all over again.

I love how we all come here to comment about how desperately Janet needs her catalogue recertified. I thought that after the docummentary addressing her career, she was going to take care about that but now its silence all over again.

I don't think Janet will ever have her albums/singles recertified no matter the movement. She doesn't seem to care too much for it. Also she's a totally independent artist now. If she re-signed with A&M or Virgin, maybe they could ask for an audit but I don't know if it's possible at this point. It doesn't help that YouTube streams on her videos haven't been pushed.

[BadMan125]

Why wasn't it released in the USA? Sounds way more like something that would be loved in the USA than in Europe. Never understood this choice.

Too radical for the pop charts, I guess. Plus, the blow it would've done to her chart record. I think before her, Madonna had held the record for most consecutive top ten singles (16). At that point, Janet had:

MYM
RN
ESC
ALRGT
CBTM
BC
LWND
TBTILAF
TTWLG
IF
AGAIN
BOL
ATAP
YWT
SCRM
RWAY

So she had tied with her and she wanted to break the record, which she ultimately did with the biggest pop record on that album (TA). Having GTIG released as a single would've not helped her, I don't know how well its pop airplay was doing but I couldn't see it going top ten. Maybe top 20. The fact Janet only really released TWO singles from TVR and other songs were just for promo/radio tells a lot.

[BadMan125]

I hope RIAA credit Janet Jackson on What's It Gonna Be? Whenever it gets updated cause I believe I Know What You Want will be updated first.

Only way that happens is if Busta/his label(s) request for it on his birthday (like Mariah's did for hers).

[BadMan125]

Probaby no higher than no.3. Elton John’s “Candle In The Wind” and Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna” dominated the top 2 positions for weeks.

Maybe top 20 due to sales. The radio play wasn't happening here.

[Choley]

Yup, i did it

[TwentyForeplay]

Maybe top 20 due to sales. The radio play wasn't happening here.

The same week Got Til It's Gone rose to #36 in airplay:

Usher - You Make Me Wanna
#33 Airplay
#3 Sales

= #3 Hot 100

Aqua - Barbie Girl
#31 Airplay
#9 Sales

= #11 Hot 100

ALL of Janet's singles 1995-2001 made the Top 3 in physical sales. So as long as she sold an amount typical of her releases she definitely had a more than decent shot of going Top 10 (even if for just one or two weeks).

[lovedeluxe]

Yeah, it was likely going to be a top ten, I still think somewhere between 7-10, NOW, as we know, if R&B charts were included then it would have been an easy top ten! The positive is that it's going to be Gold eligible this year or next year! Sooner than expected!

If only they'd unblock its music video on VEVO! That's hurt so much of her SPS!

Got 'Til It's Gone would have been surely a top 5 hit if it charted on the Hot 100 the video is arguably her most acclaim video but due to how the video look it was banned.

Janet should have released Go Deep in the U.S. that song without a doubt would have been a top 10 record.

Every Time definitely would have been a top 10 hit.

You was good as it suppose to be a promotional record.

What About was suppose to have had a music video Just like This Time from the janet. era was going to have but plans fell through damn I would have love to seen what the What About video would have look.

Together Again and I Get Lonely done so well and the different versions of each song made them mainstays especially Together Again her biggest hit record in the world but Got 'Til It's Gone, Go Deep & Every Time had so much potential but those 3 songs still holds up anyway well you don't really hear much of Every Time brought up.

[red3269]

Agree with Go Deep. It picked up considerable airplay if I remember correctly but Everytime didnt. I dont think Everytime would have been a top 10 hit for her. Top 40 maybe.

[danisedion]

Hey. I thought you would be interested about this thread I found yesterday, celebrating Janet Jackson's career sales, records and achievements:

[lovedeluxe]

Good list, it's a little outdated, you can find a lot of recent leaks on in this thread.

[Nerd Score]

Every Time definitely would have been a top 10 record I don't see that record pass the top 10 and that type of video definitely would have been played on MTV 24/7 without a doubt she released the video I think the night before the start of The Velvet Rope Tour or the same day as the tour but it was release for promotional purposes.

I don't see how it could. When the video was released, there didn't seem to be a big push for it. But if there was, it would obviously be a bigger pop hit. Maybe not as big as Together Again but yeah.

[BritneyMadonnastan]

How far is the dream street album from 1M streams

[HouseTargaryen]

Janet should be credited for 28 top 10 in US. She deserves credit for Diamonds.

She didn't release the record in the U.S.

How far is the dream street album from 1M streams

It has 800,003 streams on Spotify now. But it probably gets like 2 daily streams so it might take a while.

[p0isonparadise]

I was going to post a top 20 songs list with daily increases but her streaming is so low that I decided that posting her albums would make more sense.

The first two are not heavy favorites. You have to be a SUPER stan to appreciate both.

I guess it's not surprising that her '90s albums and All for You are her most popular albums to date in the streaming era. Control/RN1814 seemed neck in neck at the 95m range. YIKES at the numbers for 20 YO and Damita Jo though. Unbreakable truly benefited in the streaming era (via No Sleeep). I do think the fact she had interludes hurt the streams for some of these albums because I feel they would probably be up more without em, but that's just me.
