    I think Made For Now is gonna move into the top 5 by next year

     

    Working on an update for these, but here's the big question... 

    1) How close do we think the janet. album is to an RIAA Diamond certification?? 

    2) Can we get a STREAM TEAM together to help boost whatever is closest to the next level?

    I truly feel that this could be her year. If she doesn’t get a nomination this year then the fans will truly be up in arms.

    Oh if she’s not on the ballot this year, I will lead the rock hall boycott myself. I will encourage people to unfollow them, not to visit the museum, literally Take Em Down a couple of notches.

    How interesting...

    As someone that lives in Houston (Travis Scott's hometown), all I can say is this city has been LIT to the nth degree since Astroworld dropped.  It's all you hear on our rap radio stations, and he even gets a ton of pop airplay here.  I don't know how large his fan base is outside of Houston, but fans in this area alone are probably enough to float him on the charts for a few weeks.  

    If Nicki doesn't know that, that is HER problem.

    First I agree, it was her best album of the 2000s and second....

    HA!!! Not when “Love Scene”, “Would You Mind” and especially “Truth” exist!!! ????? Like I said, I still love the album and it’s “good”, last time I checked that was a positive critique! ?

    Oh and it’s MY opinion, it can’t me “wrong”!!! ??

    My opinion... All For You stands well with the previous 4, save for one clear, important aspect that was present in Janet's best works.. it lacks a sense of direction.  It's the first of Janet's albums in a long time that feels more like a collection of songs without some organizing principle.  The sonics were still epic, and the songs were great, but the direction is a little less clear... 

    Control - taking control of her life, and her young adulthood

    Rhythm Nation = speaking out about problems in society

    janet. = shedding the social warrior message to reveal the more complex, multidimensional person

    The Velvet Rope = tackling inner struggles 

    All For You = Lemme deal with this dammn divorce, drop some huge ass HITS and prove I can be successful without Y.O.U.    

     

     

    MADE FOR NOW AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE - THIS IS NOT A DRILL

    in All About Janet

    Posted

    After some Twitter Sleuthing, a couple of things...  

    1)  Janet has a new distributor?? If you noticed, on the iTunes Pre-order, MFN is copyrighted 2018 by Rhythm Nation under exclusive license to Cinq Music LLC.  Cinq Music is Daddy Yankee's main distributor and until recently has really been working mostly in the Latin American market.  So I'm unsure if Janet is still distributing under BMG, or if she, or all Rhythm Nation have jumped ship over to Cinq.  We'll need to watch and see what happens here when we get more song details, but it's sufficient to say that Cinq Music has been a big fish ever since Despacito went crazy.  

    2)  They're lining up an aggressive, global push, and the evidence is starting to roll in.

    So TRL stop on Thursday, followed by Jimmy Fallon performance (possible interview??? ?) on Friday???

    Im baffled by how much promo she’s already set to do for this new album compared to next to nothing for ”Unbreakable”.

    She and her teams are really pushing this era to be a Janet level campaign from her prime. I’m keeping my expectations so low right now cause I don’t want to get too excited. ?<span><span>

    I'm so happy for it though!!  

    And I think it's important to take note that Janet's team isn't just doing promo at random.  Choosing to construct a short summer tour around festivals?  Accepting a big award from an awards show whose audience is really mainly kids at this point (Radio Disney)?  Appearing on MTV's revamped TRL?  She's working specifically to connect with younger audiences.  If it were just about money and sales, she'd probably focus on her core supporters.  But whatever she's got cooking for these future projects, it's on her mind and her heart to reach out to the younger generation.  She's coming up to the plate to be that role model that so many young people are longing for today, and as a life-long fan, it makes me appreciate her even more.

    Janet For Super Bowl 2019 Halftime Show

    in All About Janet

    Posted

    I STILL don't understand all the haterade towards Gil.  SOTW is incredible... I get the story and how everything is stitched together.  I think this is some of the team's best work in a long time, and Gil has a TON to do with that.  You can't make every fan happy 100% of the time.  I personally liked the flow of SOTW1 better, and felt like it conveyed a more solid story, but SOTW2 is still fucking amazing, and an even better marriage of new choreo with the classics that everyone loves. 

    But if y'all got all these issues with his socials and his opinions then STAY OUT HIS GRILL!!!  #GotTimeTho

    Janet For Super Bowl 2019 Halftime Show

    Now I know we’ve discussed this plenty of times already but I’ve been desperately wanting Janet to return for her OWN. SOLO. Halftime Show performance since Madonna’s Halftime Show back in 2012! She deserves it! I want this era to have people around the world remembering why she is the muthafin’ Queen!!!

    Could you imagine what Janet could do on a scale of the halftime show completely to herself?!? ?? What a comeback story!!!

    I’m sorry but I was just watching Justin’s Halftime performance from this year and I wanted to fall asleep! ? Ehh, even Katy Perry’s Halftime Show was more lively and entertaining than Justin’s failed attempt at selling his flop of an album! ?

    This era could be Janet’s biggest in a while and I would LOVE the delicious irony of the NFL offering her the halftime show early next year when she kills it with this new album! Not saying she needs it! Not even saying I demand it but my god, spare us another year from someone like...I don’t know....I honestly don’t know who they could chose at this point. ? Britney has no new album in sight and can’t perform up to caliber anymore. All I can think of is J. Lo giving us a great show at her age and being the only other likely candidate at this point. Give us Janet dammit!!! ?

    In all honesty, the best thing that Janet's TRUE fans can do is to STREAM THE FUUUUUUCK out of her new song.  Put it on the charts, support that thing as much as possible.  A true worldwide hit will cure any and all ills.  If Janet's people have done their job right, then she has the potential to get a major hit (especially in markets outside the US that are much friendlier to female artists over a certain age and artists of color).  If the song hits, the SuperBowl and everyone else will come a-callin'.  

    My one worry with Made For Now is that it could be straying away from her base a bit.  In the R&B market, her network of support has never really wavered, which is why a song like No SLEEEP can see a huge chart reign on Urban A/C (aka Adult R&B Songs from Billboard).  But it's been a long time since Janet has strayed from that market with a single, if all indications are correct on Made For Now.  Of course she's Janet, so she may bring the market with her, but you never know.  

    Well anyway, I'm ready to #STANfam when this new song drops.  Janet, I gotchu...

    New Promo Pic 8/8/18

    IF Janet and Daddy Yankee were to perform at something like the VMAs, tomorrow would make the most sense.  Outside Lands is August 12th, so that gives Janet and the team a full week to rehearse and prepare for the show while people freak out about the new video.

    What I'd give for "Can't Be Stopped" :cry: 

    Can't B Stopped and New Agenda would've SLAYED at Essence Fest.  For all the incredible things Janet and her team do achieve with the State of the World tour, I do think they could do a better job of tailoring to different audiences.  MOST performers could never, but Janet is world-class and doesn't get phased by a quick change of one or two songs.  

    I think for SOTW2, I would keep Escapade in the permanent set list, and had songs like New Agenda, Black Cat and Black Eagle at the wayside.  Those would've played well/ would play well in your younger festival setting like Panorama or Outside Lands.

    “Would You Mind” getting over 1 million streams!!!??? ??

    The audacity!!! ????

    In the Streaming era, album cut Someday Is Tonight, never performed on ANY tour or live to our knowledge, is more popular than classic Alright.
