Janet Jackson :: Charts & Sales History

I hope they'll update her albums as well.I'm sure Rhythm Nation (album) is eligible for Diamond.

[lovedeluxe]

I hear it's over 8 million without record clubs. You might be right.

It sold over 1 million in BMG club probably well over 1 million in Columbia House too

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.

Design of a Decade also went Platinum in New Zealand in it's 3rd week (second week at number 1).

We'll probably never get any new certifications there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's eligible for 2X Platinum (30,000).

What Have You Done For Me Lately
Let's Wait Awhile
Alright
Come Back To Me
Black Cat
You Want This
Doesn't Really Matter

Those 7 songs are all on the pace for a platinum eligible certification by the RIAA so The Pleasure Principle, Love Will Never Do (Without You) and Runaway should already all be platinum right now.

[lovedeluxe]

"Would You Mind" most Shazamed songs in the US (#149) https://www.shazam.com/charts/top-200/united-states

#29 most Shazamed POP songs in the US https://www.shazam.com/charts/genre/united-states/pop

Would You Mind will be Janet first non single to be eligible for a certification in the coming years probably sooner.

I remember when Beyoncé had her certs updated and some of us were expecting higher certs for her her debut and IASF. I'm wondering if that will be the case here.

[lovedeluxe]

The good thing about Janet is none of her clubs sales from the 80s or 90s were included in her certifications for her biggest albums!

We already know "janet." and "Rhythm Nation" will at least be updated to 8 million with SPS.

We just don't have full numbers from Columbia House or BMG.

[lovedeluxe]

thebigham will do that in the coming weeks!

[SCHoli]

I can't believe this has finally happened! Of course it's a mess but great non the less!

[Nerd Score]

Janet songs from Control - Rhythm Nation 1814 should all be platinum Except for the songs that don't have videos but released as tracks they should be gold at least.

[red3269]

thebigham will do that in the coming weeks!

Cant wait for his updates!

[HouseTargaryen]

Until they come, let's play the guessing game...
Here are mine

Janet Jackson - Gold
Control - 8xP
Rhythm Nation - 10xP
Janet - 9xP
Design of a Decade - 4xP
The Velvet Rope- 4xP
All For You - 3xP
Discipline- Gold
Number Ones - Gold

*Overall total = 41,5 million

My ambitious predictions

[gorgonzola]

I get lonli sold 900.000 in 98, according to Billboard magazine. Wonder why still its platinum

Most of her singles that were just certified are 200k-400k from x2p or x3p. Hopefully they'll do another update on those singles.

[red3269]

Mine:
Janet Jackson - Gold
Control - 8xP
Rhythm Nation - 10xP
Janet - 10xP
Design of a Decade - 5xP
The Velvet Rope- 4xP
All For You - 3xP
Discipline- Gold
Number Ones - Gold

[lovedeluxe]

I'm with you on the above!

"Janet Jackson" sold over 62k (1991-1999) Gold might be possible

"Control" has over 1 million (SPS) a 6 million cert will be in the bag, plus it was a strong club seller! 8 million seems very possible

"Rhythm Nation" has known sales of over 9 million. 6 million cert, 2 million sps, 1 million BMG. Diamond seems very likely.

"janet." people forget this album was certified for 5 million in just 7 months. Charted until May 1995. Only got one cert for 6 million in 1994 (in April) despite being the 8th biggest selling album of the year. Expecting 9-10 for this album as well.

"The Velvet Rope" should be x4p, I am curious if it will be x5p... How did Mariah get "Butterfly" to x5p?

"AFY" 3xp

"Discipline" Gold

"Number Ones" Gold

She's due an increase of 9-13 million it seems.

[HouseTargaryen]

I wonder if she is eligible for the following certs in Japan...???

Rhythm Nation - 3xP (600,000)
Janet - 3xP (600,000)
Design of a Decade - 3xP (600,000)
The Velvet Rope - 2xP (400,000)
All For You - 4xP (800,000)

[lovedeluxe]

She's probably eligible everywhere!

It seems like they never updated her old stuff anywhere!
