I've bought all her albums, some several times If I were ever to get involved in something on these lines it would be this. Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but I buy albums to listen to. I have no desire to add to stats. Im pretty sure Janet would appreciate a charitable sentiment MUCH more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's her birthday, and also, WE know this album (as does older generations), but the new generation mostly doesn't.
