Happy 30th Anniversary to one of the most iconic, critically acclaimed and best selling albums of all time: JANET.

After a lengthy bidding war between record labels due to two consecutive hit albums Janet signed to Virgin Records, The contract was worth an estimated $40M, making her the world's then-highest paid musical act(higher than Michael, Whitney & Madonna). Janet decided to write all the lyrics for the album, in addition to co-producing every song and co-writing each of their arrangements due to criticism of her being producer dependent.

Its title, read "Janet, period.", is meant to disassociate her public image from her family, dropping her surname. Lyrically, the theme of JANET. is sexual intimacy—an abrupt departure from her conservative image. Much of her lyrics emphasize a woman's perspective on sexuality and the demand for practicing safe sex. This album cemented Janet’s status as a Global Icon & an international Sex Symbol.

In the US, JANET. became the singer's 3rd consecutive album to top the Billboard 200 & her 1st to debut at #1. Selling 350,000 copies in its 1st week, it set a record for the highest 1st week sales for a female artist at that time.

The JANET. Album has sold over 20M records worldwide, becoming 6x platinum in the US within the 1st year alone. It remains 1 of the highest selling albums of all time.

JANET. became 1 of only 5 albums in the history of Billboard 200 to debut at #1 & remain at the top of the chart for a minimum of 6 consecutive weeks. JANET. remains 1 of only 7 albums in history to produce 6 top-10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her 1st single “That’s the way love goes” hit #1 on billboard and remained for 8 consecutive weeks, becoming the longest running #1 of any Jackson family member.

I’m gonna be so upset when SJM gives us Azriel’s POV fully and his shadows don’t talk to him like Venom does to Eddy.

#what do you mean they don’t hiss at him #they don’t talk to him using we us and our??? #im living in my delulu era #until Sarah Janet tells me otherwise they will always talk to him like that #and also be used during adult fun times #azriel #acotar #my headcanon

characters in the thirteenth doctor’s era: tegan jovanka i have spent the last 30 years living like a nomad. i have done land mines, coups, i have been hijacked, and i’ve nearly drowned trying to help people. i’ve seen off two husbands, and somewhere out there is an adopted son who hasn’t called me for six weeks. and if that’s not enough, i was an air hostess in the early ‘80s, and trust me, compared to that, a building full of cybermen is nothing. now, what’s the plan?

CONTROL by JANET JACKSON (1986)

On February 4th 1986, at just 19 years old Janet Jackson made history. She released her first album where she had full creative CONTROL. After two mildly successful albums full of songs she had no hand in creating Janet took matters into her own hands. With the help of her legendary producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the trio created a new unconventional sound consisting of a fusion of R&B, Rap Vocals, Funk, disco & synthesized percussion that would lead into pioneering a new genre of music called New Jack Swing.

Janet had recently gone through a public divorce to an abusive husband, severed business ties with her father & family. Janet no longer wanted to have her artistry decided for her she wanted to do it her own way.

The album also helped redefine what it meant to be a Black female superstar, and arguably, a Black superstar period. Unlike the safe(sometimes white washed) images of her mid-80s contemporaries there was something undeniably street and edgy about Janet’s overall presentation. From the hard-hitting beats to the funky choreography and sassy attitude, Janet was very Black and proud. With heavy Black Feminist themes Janet was one of the first Pop Stars to unapologetically include feminism and women empowerment in her music.

Control laid the Blueprint that many Female Popstars would later follow. Artists including Britney Spears, Beyoncè, Ciara, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Tinashe, Cassie, Teyana Taylor, Victoria Monèt, Janelle Monaè, SZA, HER, Lil Kim, FKA Twigs, Lady Gaga and so many more. Control is still referenced, copied and studied over 35 years later.

With over 14 Million Copies sold it has also received immense critical acclaim and many accolades. It is on Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest albums of all time, It is listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 200 Definitive Albums of All Time, in addition to being included in several publications "best of" album lists. In 2016, it was selected for exhibition in the NMAAHC.

“This is a story about CONTROL, my control. Control of what I say, control of what I do…. This time I’m gonna do it MY way.”

With this statement alone Control went from just an album to a movement. A young black woman having complete control of her image, her art, her visuals, her presentation, was almost unheard of at the time. Janet changed it all. And with that Janet gave young woman and artists the inspiration to do the same.

Today we Honor Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and the Queen of Pop Music: JANET, MS. JACKSON IF YOU’RE NASTY!
