Given the true audience in the room (friends, family, industry insiders and super fans lucky enough to get tickets), Janelle Monae is a fantastic choice. She is at the highest point in her career so far from the standpoint of critical acclaim.

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?

And UK Official Top 40 was ready for this announcement!! Though it would've been slightly better had they mentioned Janet's UK Number 1s on the Albums chart and the R&B Chart. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/janet-jacksons-official-top-40-most-downloaded-songs__10662/

This year's MTV EMA Global Icon award is going to legendary pop and R&B singer Janet Jackson! Janet will celebrate the occasion by performing a medley of her iconic hits including her new single "Made For Now" at the MTV EMA on 4 November. It will be her first ever EMA performance. http://www.mtvema.com/news/bua5fg/janet-jackson-global-icon

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.

Those racist-ass, old-ass voters in RRHOF have never and will never hear of Black Girls Rock. But we, her fans love it and by convincing us and the general public, I think her team hopes to put some major pressure on them.

Let's not blame Madonna for something she didn't cause.

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.

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.

I’m still pushing/ praying for the Kelly Alexander interview. Why go through all that drama with CTG? If Janet hangs with Kelly, it’s will be a fun interviewed focused on artistry and fans will still get to learn plenty of interesting Tea.

Alright The Philippines COME THROUGH!!!!! https://twitter.com/wayneashleymusi/status/1030505340662624257

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.

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.
