The Control album turns 35! Janet has acknowledged the milestone on her social media:
From the album cover right through every single track, it's a hugely influential and important album. Her first, of many, masterpieces!

There seems to be a download campaign to celebrate the anniversary. It has managed to get to #1 on the US pop iTunes album chart (~#20 on full iTunes chart).

QUOTE(Among Haus @ Feb 7 2021, 01:04 AM)  There seems to be a download campaign to celebrate the anniversary. It has managed to get to #1 on the US pop iTunes album chart (~#20 on full iTunes chart). #16 now. Although it's sad that it just doesn't breeze into the #1 spot, but maybe a lot of people already own it on iTunes? Either way it just feels like her fanbase has scattered over the years - even during 20YO it felt like there was a solid fanbase at least. I think her not releasing as regularly has a lot to do with that though - it was 7 years between Discipline and Unbreakable and now it's been six years since that album. I also think Michael's past resurfacing affected her negatively. |

I spent yesterday watching through a chunk of Janet's music videos, starting from the 'Control' era. That run of 'The Pleasure Principle' -> 'Miss You Much' -> 'Rhythm Nation'... wow! That choreography! I think 'Alright' is my favourite so far (I've got up to her first greatest hits album) and I realised that it must have inspired the routine between Oti and Bill Bailey's "couple's choice" dance on the last series of Strictly!

IDK. I wonder if they'll even touch upon Leaving Neverland to be honest, or just tip-toe around it.

Will definitley have to watch it. I hope they get down to the nitty gritty and don't gloss over a number of subjects.
"All For You" is still a bop.

In terms of this battle, I never actually expected Janet to win. But I cant agree with you. Michael, at his best, did better than Janet ever did, however I think over the course of their two careers assuming your just talking solo stuff. The Jackson 5/The Jacksons might put Michael over the edge. Its arguable., Janets overall body of work is better than Michaels. He had two excellent albums, and a couple of good singles otherwise. She was good from Control until All For You. 86-01. Whether you can give that credit to Janet herself, or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, I dont know. You can make the same argument for Michael and Quincy Jones, though. ETA: Of course, in terms of just singles, Michael blows Janet out of the water.

Finally! So bizarre that it was restricted to Canada and Japan for 10 years. Her online presence with music videos still requires a lot of work

Ahead of her documentary, Janet has covered Allure magazine and it's a great photoshoot. This image in particular is stunning:
Very excited for the doc! |

She also did a breakdown of some of her videos for Allure which was uploaded last month:
Fascinating watch! I could do with a follow up tbh. |
