Janet Jackson :: Charts & Sales History

[TwentyForeplay]

Wow, this day has been a long time coming.

Also very exciting to see her officially have a Multi-Platinum single!

This gives me hope of her legacy being better handled in the future.

Would absolutely love if they could update her certifications in international markets as well. Namely Japan, Australia, Canada where her certs are equally outdated.

[lovedeluxe]

Is there a list of most platinum singles for women? Where does this new update put Janet?

^Janet may have another 7 Platinum certs coming.

Happy for the new Janet certifications. It's been a long time coming and yayy for her 1st multi platinum cert.

[red3269]

I know it was given away for free but I Want You is technically a platinum single and we know Control has a platinum plaque based on her auction. She currently has 16 in total no?

[Nerd Score]

Don't Janet at least have 16 platinum records by RIAA and only 14 of them got certified being she can't get a certification for What's It Gonna Be? So she has one more song to be certified I Want You don't count being it's already platinum so 14 certs is correct the other half should be gold certified.

That's the Way Love Goes (2x)
Together Again
Miss You Much
Scream
Again
Control
If
I Get Lonely
I Want You
Runaway
Escapade
Nasty

[lovedeluxe]

The list doesn't include features, but she has 15 official platinum singles.

[Nerd Score]

Love Will Never Do (Without You) and Runaway should be coming to be Platinum soon.

[lovedeluxe]

I think so, too! ;)

[Nerd Score]

I wish someone list her songs that are heading RIAA gold

[lovedeluxe]

I think almost all of her 1986-2001 singles are either gold or platinum. ;)

[Nerd Score]

Control, Let's Wait Awhile and Pleasure Principle still not in Janet RIAA database when they were already certified cause we see their plaques when she had that Auction she was doing of her stuff.

I hear there are rules to that. Labels can "hide" certifications. Wondering if that's what happened with those back in the day?

[Nerd Score]

Frustrating that they did not certify any albums.

These singles were not done:

What Have You Done For Me Lately - Gold
Control - Gold
Let's Wait Awhile
Pleasure Principal

Miss You Much - Platinum
Alright - Gold
Come Back To Me
Black Cat - Gold
Love Will Never Do (Without You) - Gold

Again - Platinum
Because Of Love
You Want This - Gold

Scream - Platinum

Runaway - Gold


Got Til It's Gone

Doesn't Really Matter - Gold

Someone To Call My Lover

Call On Me

Got 'Til It's Gone and Call On Me are eligible for gold?

They shouldn't be hiding sales if so cause they messing up their numbers but I don't know maybe cause it was a different time period.

[lovedeluxe]

If you are unsure of if your title has been certified before, you can check the riaa.com/gold-platinum database. Please note, any certifications your label has asked to embargo will not appear on the riaa.com website until the label contact requests them to be included. If you would like your certification to remain hidden from our website upon completion of audit, please select YES in the Hidden column.

That may explain why she received gold or platinum awards for "Control", "Let's Wait Awhile" and "The Pleasure Principle" that aren't visible.

So it begins...

Design if a Decade went 4x-P in Australia back in 96' (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I wouldn't doubt 6x-Platinum+ in AUS.

[lovedeluxe]

Does anyone have Janet's LAST certifications in other countries? Along with date of last certification? A list would be nice!
