Janet Jackson

[Bojan]

Are you guys even serious? She didn't go to #1 for some singles and that was based on actual stats already.

Sorry, I didn't understand. :-?

I don't think you understood the Billboard Hot 100 before Dec of 1998. R&B/Rock/Latin and Country points were not included in the Hot 100 until December 1998.

Which is why in the 70s-90s there were so many songs that were #1 on the R&B/Country charts that didn't even make the Hot 100.

Example Angela Winbush's "Angel" https://www.allmusic.com/song/angel-mt0032081133
"
"Angel" went to number one R&B in late 1987 while curiously not making the pop charts."

Same goes for Reba McEntire. She had 21 #1 hits on the Country charts before 1998. Once Country stats were finally allowed in making up the Hot 100 in 1998, she finally scored only her second charting song on the Hot 100 and first ever top 40 hit in 1999 after having 21 #1 country hits.

So yes, the Hot 100 was based on chart stats, but ONLY Top 40 radio. If your single was played anywhere else other than top 40 your chart performance was clearly affected because the Hot 100 didn't cover all genres until Dec 1998.

So yes, Janet had 13 #1 hits on the R&B charts before 1998. Had those chart points been included in the Hot 100 it is very obvious her Hot 100 chart positions would have been very different. As for a lot of the big crossover acts of the 1980s and 1990s, Michael Jackson, Prince, En Vogue, Jody Watley, Prince and Janet.

"The Hot 100 was only comprised of songs played on Top 40 before Dec 8th 1998"

None of the adult R&B or R&B points were included previously as I said. Two formats that Janet dominated during her peak.

What Janet vinyls do y’all have? I dreamt I had all her singles on vinyl

Re: Janet Jackson

The janet. album is #103 on UK iTunes R&B.

‘The Best’ is always top 100 but her studio albums rarely chart so I was surprised

What Janet vinyls do y’all have? I dreamt I had all her singles on vinyl

only Control, Rhythm Nation 1814 and Unbreakable. I feel like such a flop fan, she's literally the only "fave" I feel really lacking in what I own, but I just can't spend $300-500 for janet. or The Velvet Rope on vinyl. Discipline's easily available but I can't see myself wanting to own that when I don't yet have the janet. through 20U.O. albums that all go for over $100.

Re: Janet Jackson

I have ‘All For You’ on vinyl but don’t have a vinyl player

I had the chance to buy Damita Jo but didn’t bother as I don’t have a player. But when I saw how much it is on amazon, I kinda wish I bought it

I have the ‘Feedback’ picture disc too

Re: Janet Jackson

I know Janet is no longer with Virgin, but the best way to get those albums reissued on vinyl would be doing special editions. I mean, Smashing Pumpkins aren't on Virgin anymore and their albums have gotten reissued because they went back and did anniversary editions. It's 25 years since janet. came out come May, do an anniversary edition or something for us.

I don't care for vinyl.

My brother got his first CD-player in 1986. I used to play my cd's on his player till I got my own in 1988.
