There are times when I look above and beyond 7SXKHiPQPhk 1. Together Again | 10.0 Highest Scores: 11: (Nina West, Jessie Where, Simon), 10: (Liam, Sour Candy, dandy, Davidson, vibe, Pandamic Tension, Cremey, blacksquare, Liam.k, Math) Lowest Scores: 8: (popchartfreak) There you have it Buzzjack your favourite Janet Jackson single with a perfect average of 10 is Together Again, released in December 1997 as the 2nd single from Janet's 6th studio album The Velvet Rope, and was written and produced by Janet and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with additional writing by Jackson's then-husband René Elizondo Jr. Originally written as a ballad, the track was rearranged as an uptempo dance song. Janet was inspired to write the song by her own private discovery of losing a friend to AIDS, as well as by a piece of fan mail she received from a young boy in England who had lost his father. Janet told MTV News that her inspiration to write the song was "Runaway" by Nuyorican Soul, as the song reminded her of being in Studio 54 in New York when she was a child. Upon release it was well received by music critics and became a massive commercial success by becoming her 8th chart topper on the US Billboard charts and would go onto to earn a Platinum certification. Worldwide it would top the charts in Netherlands, Poland, & Hungary, as well as top 5 peaks in many countries including Canada, Belgium, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Australia, Ireland, & in the UK where it became her biggest selling single with over 800,000 copies sold there. Two music videos were produced for the song. The original version was directed by French photographer Seb Janiak and choreographed by Tina Landon .This version received a nomination for Best Dance Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. Another music video was released for the "Deeper Remix". Directed by René Elizondo Jr. We have now come at the end of our Janet Jackson singles rate journey over the last few months and would like to thank everybody whose taken part. What a fitting end to this countdown than with this flawless celebratory dance-pop masterpiece that finds inspiration from the cornerstone of queer culture. Instead of writing a sad elegant ballad, Janet instead looks to dance and disco culture to pay homage to her late friends and honours them by crafting a swirling vibrant upbeat dance song that acts as a joyous reminder of her friends’ lives, a celebration of their memory. Janet delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance that takes command of the track's uptempo and catchy beats and delivers what is perhaps her most beautiful and poignant songs in her iconic discography. Uplifting, addictive, and legendary, this is perhaps Janet's greatest achievement and a prime example of what an incredible artist she truly is.

GET READY BUZZJACK FOR YOUR #1 JANET JACKSON SINGLE...

Like a moth to a flame, burned by the fire 2b_KfAGiglc 2. That's The Way Love Goes | 9.7 Highest Scores: 11: (Davidson, vibe, blacksquare), 10: (Nina West, Sour Candy, dandy, Simon, Cremey, Liam.k), Lowest Scores: 8: (Liam, Jessie Where) At the runner up spot with a whopping 9.7 is That's The Way Love Goes, released in April 1993 as the lead single from Janet Jackson's 5th studio album Janet, and was written and produced by Janet and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the song samples James Brown's 1974 song "Papa Don't Take No Mess" and The Honey Drippers' 1973 song "Impeach the President". The song's themes of romantic lust saw Jackson transitioning to sensual territory, considered a shocking contrast to her previous releases among critics and the public. The first version of the track had a lovelorn tone which Janet revised, contacting producer Jimmy Jam to say she was taking an alternate direction. She was initially indifferent upon hearing its instrumental, but after she embarked on a brief vacation, she loved it and decided to record it and use this concept throughout the whole album project. When Virgin executives heard the rough cut of "If", they wanted that to be the lead single, however, after some insistence from Jam and Lewis, 'That's The Way Love Goes' was finally chosen. Upon release it became one of Janet's biggest hits in the United States. It was one of the longest-reigning hits of 1993, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, to date it's the longest running chart topper of any of the Jackson family. Internationally it also became a huge commercial success by topping the charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, & Hungary, it hit #2 in the UK (her highest charting hit there), top 5 peaks in Finland & Netherlands, as well as top 10 peaks in Denmark, Germany, Ireland & Sweden. The song received the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in addition to Billboard Awards, BMI Pop Award for Most Played Song, and American Music Awards. It has been cited as one of her signature songs, recognized for its vocals, innovation, and "timeless" aura. One of Janet's greatest all-time hits and a more than worthy runner-up to the #1 ranking song here. A beautiful soulful slow-burn groove number that marked a perfect introduction to her 5th album and to showcase her new more mature and confident sound. The smooth slinky sounds grooves lightly over the seductive and funky beats as Janet's lusty and sensual vocals purrs over the gorgeous production and perfectly sets a romantic tone. This is a prime example of an artist taking a huge risk and reaping all the rewards as this turned Janet into an almighty worldwide force to be reckoned with. Laidback and enchanting this is Janet at her absolute prime of her artistic career by delivering a smouldering R&B sex jam for the ages. One of Janet Jackson's all-time greats that rightly ranks as one of her many signature tracks.

The results are about to be announced Get ready for the runner-up....

That's The Way Love Goes VS Together Again 'Janet' vs 'The Velvet Rope' Who will win? Stay tuned to find out

Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed BTSd4vqnMwo 3. If | 9.666 Highest Scores: 11: (Sour Candy, dandy, Cremey, Liam.k, Math), 10: (Nina West, Liam, popchartfreak, Davidson, vibe), Lowest Scores: 7: (Bjork, Pandamic Tension) At the #3 spot is If, released in July 1993 as the 2nd single from Janet Jackson's 5th studio album Janet, who co-wrote and co-produced "If" with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with Harvey Fuqua, John Bristol and Jackey Beavers receiving songwriting credits for the sampling of their composition "Someday We'll Be Together", performed by Diana Ross & the Supremes. The song fuses various genres, including rock, trip hop and industrial music, with elements of new jack swing and hip hop. Virgin records originally wanted this to be the album's lead single, but Janet disagreed and wanted 'That's The Way Love Goes' released instead, so decided to release this as the follow-up instead. After her role in the film Poetic Justice, it gave her the confidence to attempt edgier themes musically and came up with this track in a conference room during a meeting and once the recording process started, Janet and the producers started trying out different ideas and that's how it became to be. Upon release it received critical acclaim from music critics and became a commercial hit by reaching a #4 peak on the US Billboard charts. Elsewhere it also found success by hitting top 10 peaks in Canada, New Zealand, & Netherlands, & top 20 peaks in Finland, UK, Australia, & Sweden, then top 40 peaks everywhere else. It received a BMI Pop Award for Most Played Song and was also ranked among Slant Magazine's Best Singles of the 1990s. Fun fact this scored the most 11's & only missed out on a runner-up spot by a mere 0.5, with this & the #2 song constantly flip flopping between positions throughout the rate. This would have been a strong enough choice for the lead single, but 'That's The Way Love Goes' was the correct choice, and this was far better suited as a strong follow up, which is what it became. A cracking tune with crashing heavy metal guitars, prominent violin strings, and thick relentless industrial beats with riveting rhythms making this an epic dance/rock explosion. Janet's multi-layered vocals cuts through the funky bass and infectious chorus at breakneck speed right up until the soaring climax. Big, loud, and larger than life, this is one of Janet's very best dance recordings, and one of my all-time personal faves.

Get ready for #3

Don't have to work that hard, just be yourself J551f-TyqjY 4. All For You | 9.533 Highest Scores: 11: |Nina West, Liam, Sour Candy), 10: (Jessie Where, Simon, Cremey, blacksquare), Lowest Scores: 8/8.5: (Bjork, popchartfreak, vibe) #4 is All For You, released in March 2001 as the lead single from Janet's 7th studio album of the same name, and was written and produced by Janet along with her collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, The song heavily samples "The Glow of Love" by Change and became the first single to be added to every pop, rhythmic, and urban radio format within its first week of release. Amidst Janet's divorce from René Elizondo Jr, exposing their secret nine year marriage to the public, she started working on a new album, which was described as "upbeat, fun and carefree", in contrast to the dark and sexually explicit previous record "The Velvet Rope" . Janet and her producers listened to older songs before starting work on the album to find inspiration & that was when they heard 'The Change of Love' track and Jimmy Jam really wanted to use it. Upon release it became a commercial smash hit by topping the US Billboard charts for 7 weeks, making it the longest reigning hit of the year after setting the record for the highest debut of a song which was not commercially available in the country. To date, it is Janet's 10th and final #1 hit in the USA. Elsewhere it also attained success by topping the charts in Canada & South Africa, top 5 peaks in New Zealand, France, UK, Australia, Finland, Netherlands & Spain, then top 10/20 peaks mostly everywhere else, making this one of her biggest worldwide hits. The song won several accolades, including the prize for Best Dance Recording at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards, and was referenced on the track "Snow on the Beach" by Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey. This marked a perfect contrast to the dark and heavy themes of her previous album, as here she delves into a more light and carefree sound which is a near-perfect pastiche of 70s disco, 80s synthpop, and 00s dance-pop that glides gracefully on the iconic piano line from the classic disco sample and works perfectly alongside the modern beat. This is a great song and easily one of Janet's best up-tempo grooves, thanks to her smooth vocal delivery and fantastic harmonies, giving this a warm and catchy sound & also love that iconic dance break which elevates this to a whole other level. A well deserved big hit and shame it was all downhill from here career wise.

With music by our side to break the color lines OAwaNWGLM0c 5. Rhythm Nation | 9.433 Highest Scores: 11: (Sour Candy, dandy, Cremey), 10: (Nina West, Davidson, blacksquare, Liam.k, Math), Lowest Scores: 7: (Simon) #5 is the almighty Rhythm Nation, released in October 1989 as the 2nd single from Janet's 4th studio album Rhythm Nation 1814, and was written and produced by Janet, in collaboration with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The distinctive guitar riff was based on "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)" by Sly and the Family Stone. Janet developed the song's concept in response to various tragedies in the media, deciding to pursue a socially conscious theme by combing a political standpoint with upbeat dance music. The song's lyrics were written as a montage of racial unity with Janet's passion for dance and desired the song's theme to capture the attention of her teenage audience. Upon release it was a big commercial success on the US Billboard charts by reaching a #2 peak for two consecutive weeks. Internationally it managed top 10 peaks in Canada, South Africa & Netherlands, top 20 peaks in New Zealand & Ireland, as well as top 40 peaks in Switzerland, UK, & Belgium. The song received several accolades, including BMI Pop Awards for "Most Played Song", the Billboard Award for "Top Dance/Club Play Single" and a Grammy nomination for Jackson as "Producer of the Year". The record label attempted to persuade her against filming the video, feeling as if it didn't have mainstream appeal. But upon Janet's insistence the music video became instantly iconic has been listed on many best music videos of all-time lists & would win many awards such as 2 MTV Music Video awards & a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video. The handwritten and music video outfit are included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power" exhibit. 'Rhythm Nation' becomes the latest casualty in this countdown as we draw nearer and nearer to the finish line. Janet definitely succeeds in her ambition of creating a global anthem as she addresses her concerns of social themes with refreshing honesty and in a straightforward manner; the lyrics are direct, and her intent is clear, with the emotional power it sustains. This song could have easily sounded heavy handed, but thankfully it doesn't thanks to the densely textured beats, the militant staccato grooves, and that grand pop chorus keeps the momentum going throughout and of course that polished production which combines dance/pop with an industrial edge, which even to this day still sounds fantastic. This is for sure one of Janet's signature and most important songs in her back catalogue with a timeless message that will always resonate with anyone who listens to it.
