Janet, probably the second most famous Jackson is also known for her great music and has had a long career in the music business. Her songs are probably not as loved as some of Michael's but I do enjoy a lot of her stuff. Janet, an American actress and singer is actually the youngest of all the Jackson siblings and she began her singing career at the age of sixteen, over twenty five years ago!
Janet has quite a different sound to Michael. Whereas he is quite pop in my opinion, Janet definitely has a more R&B sound, quite soulful and with an upbeat vibe. She also has quite a lot of dance style tracks as well. What I like about Janet is that her songs are different and sound different from each other. Often I find with a lot of female artists they can sound a bit samey but I think Janet always produces a good mix of tunes.
According to an article I read, Janet was named the second most successful recording artist of the 1990s. I don't find this hard to believe but I still think she is perhaps not as famous or successful (or should I can iconic) as other female artists such as Madonna or Mariah Carey who I think it would be fair to compare her with. Jackson is ranked by Billboard magazine as one of the top ten best-selling music artists in the history of contemporary music, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The Recording Industry Association of America lists her as the eleventh best-selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums.
My favourite album of hers is Design of a Decade 1986/1996, so called because it spans a decade of her work. I like it because it's a compilation album and contains some of her. It's probably best described as a greatest hits album. It was released in 1995 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA in 1995, and has since sold nearly 7 million copies worldwide.
Highlights on this album for me have to be the wonderful duet with Luther Vandross, The Best Things in Life are Free (very true) and Whoops Now, a fun and flirty track. The rest of the tracks are as follows:
"Runaway" "What Have You Done for Me Lately" "Nasty" "When I Think of You" "Escapade" "Miss You Much" "Whoops Now" "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" "Alright" "The Best Things in Life Are Free" "Control" "The Pleasure Principle" "Black Cat" "Rhythm Nation" "That's the Way Love Goes" "Come Back to Me" (Remix) – 5:36 "Let's Wait Awhile" – 4:36 "Twenty Foreplay" (International Edit) – 5:20
