This is what so many people overlook. During Janet's dominance, both Madonna and Mariah released eight studio albums (not including Immaculate Collection, Evita, Unplugged, Merry Christmas, and #1s, all of which produced noteworthy singles/sales). Whitney released seven studio albums (including all three soundtracks and excluding the fact that she was still riding on her debut the Control era began). Janet's position among them with only five studio albums and one compilation is a true testament to her power and success.
