Unbreakable debuts with 144k worldwide: Is Janet slaying or is she reaffirming her local status?

Recommended Posts

has she ever been as global as the likes of madonna, celine or mariah even during her prime? dead4  not surprised tbh

Well she's PURE R&B so obviously she aint gonna sell like Pop/Ballad stuff. However, iconic wise she was bigger than Celine and Mariah ever was and neck and neck with Mandonna.

You call that "neck to neck" ny4

The were neck to neck In the late 80s-early 90s   clap1

'Like A Prayer' (1989) 14 million vs  'Rhythm Nation 1814' (1989) 14 million  <-- the biggest stan war before the internet era

'Erotica' (1992) + 'Bedtime Stories' (1994) 14,5 million vs 'Janet.' (1993) 15 million  <-- The Vulgar vs Classy rivalry

'Ray Of Light' (1998) 15 million  vs 'The Velvet Rope' (1997) 9 million  <-- The Spiritual album vs Personal Issues album

'Music' (2000) 11 million  vs  'All For You' (2001) 7,5 million  <--  The World Tours

They even decline together with Damita Jo and American Life     fall1  At one point (1993?) Janet's record deal worth more than Madonna's. Literally 2 biggest female acts on MTV. Celine & Mariah can stay on their AC lane but these two M&J slays the dance market.

so why have mariah and celine sold more WW? another self-drag from the skulldrag chanteuse, who is bi-the-way long overdue a ban xo

Wow, we're oh so bothered eve1 racist Moldovan gays trapped in homophobic hill villages can stay satisfying their R&B knowledge with the copies of Hard Candy they just got because the iTunes store just expanded to their country.

 

JANET ALLAH JACKSON stays putting #1 Billboard albums without compromising to the ``~~~`hot New trendzzz diploxSOPHIE ```~~~ that will likely qualify for Grammy nominations. Anal del Rey could never.
