Janet was far more popular in the 90's to the early 00's. But of course, MJ was the more famous and recognizable one. It was more about him than his music though. 
ok i just want you to tell me what accolades has janet got thAT mj did not...I really want to know.I already said "wrong wording on my part". I meant popular. And of course, MJ was always the most famous one for his 80's mania and his personal tribulations.
This whole post has nothing to do with my response :mello:
Again, showing your bitterness towards Janet. And on top of that you confuse popularity for good music. You act as if Janet has NEVER garnered attention nor success. :mello: She has some accolades that MJ doesn't have you know. Janet just recently became the first artist to have a #1 hit in the 80's,90's, 00's and '10s. She's getting hers. I see why your mad though

It is very bad. Janet needs to do something if she wants to reclaim any of the success she had in the 90s. She's been on the decline for a long time now, and I think it has nothing to do with promotion but rather everything to do with the lack of substance in her recent work. All filler no killer. :no:Janet just recently became the first artist to have a #1 hit in the 80's,90's, 00's and '10s. She's getting hers. I see why your mad though
Yes because HER website is not gonna hype her up...where are the figures from say the actual sales chart in the UK.Ummm, not according to reports. Janet sold out the concert in less than an hour.
http://latestnews.virginmedia.com/news/entertainment/2009/10/20/janet_jacksons_concert_sell_out
And don't even try to dispute those receipts.
Secondly, her greatest hits compilation went gold in the UK
http://www.hiponline.com/8710/janet-jacksons-make-me-tops-dance-charts.html
Her website sent out an email with that info. Again, don't even try to dispute the receipts.
Third, her film opened at #1 because she was in it. Jill Scott is not a box office draw, and neither is Tyler Perry without Madae. He needed Janet to sell his movie cuz he knew with her name attached to the bill as the lead actress it would sell. And it did. Nevertheless, her film opened at #1.
Fourth, notice I said Discipline collectively is a platinum record. Record = album + single. The album sold 446k, "Feedback" sold 600k+ downloads. Platinum = 1,000,000. 446k + 600k = 1,046,000. 1,046,000 > 1,000,000. Discipline = platinum record.
Oh don't worry she will.

Thank you for talking sense into the senseless LOL!I think you know that's not true but even so, Janet has had several more releases than Michael. She's churned out 6 studio albums since 1990. Michael released only 3 studio albums. Pointless to compare them since they're not on equal ground as far as the quantity of material is concerned.
Not exactly an impressive feat. It only needed just a little promotion to do better than the dismal sales of Discipline. Even with several high profile public appearances and performances (VMAs, AMAs) including one on the biggest rating TV show in the nation it barely cracked the top 30 which is bad for the almighty 'more popular than MJ' Janet Jackson. Extremely bad. Greatest hits compilations generally do very well in the UK, even for bands/artists with only moderate success compared to Janet. Snow Patrol and Will Young who are barely even heard of outside the UK recently had top 10 compilations. Madonna's Celebration went to #1. Janet hasn't been doing well here for a while now. :ermm: They're practically giving The Best or Number Ones (whatever it's called) away on amazonmp3 and iTunes for just £5. For a double disc set of almost 40 tracks.
Janet was not the sole performer at the Jingle Ball concert and so it's unreasonable to lay all the praise at her feet for the tickets selling out. Lady Gaga was the main draw for tickets and you can see for yourself on the radio site pictures of the event, and how Gaga is the one plastered all over the page and there's one small picture of Janet near the bottom. The day after both Janet and Lady Gaga respectively performed on the X Factor everyone was talking about Gaga's performance. :mello: Another big draw for tickets sales for the Jingle Ball was Dizzee Rascal who is huge in the UK and enjoys #1 hit after #1 hit whilst it seems like Make Me was, and still is nowhere to be seen.
See below.
Also, Janet is NOT the first person to do this. The first american female maybe. But not 'the first artist'. Cliff Richard has had #1s in five decades. So it's already been done for years already. :hysterical:

Not sure how you can say that when Michael is listed in the Top 50 Best Selling Albums of that decade with dangerous. And as far as I know, Janet was the 24th 'most successful artist' of the 90's and Michael was 4th. It doesn't make her any less of an artist though, she was still acknowledged as a being successful.
Dizzee, Flo Rida and NeYo did.
