I totally agree with their number one VR and dream street/20 as bottom feeders.. I would've exchanged DJ with Unbreakable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've exchanged DJ with Unbreakable.. I think I would too. I like DJ better. I think they're only ranking Unbreakable higher due to it being more deep than DJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinthahouse Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Now had the superbowl thing didnt happen, I think DJ would've ranked as one of her best and successful records and be a favorite among the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely would've and I hate when fans say otherwise just because it didn't do well. It didn't do well ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SUPERBOWL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The initial reception would have been a little better but it wouldn't be seen as a critical smash. Same thing about the success. There would still be an inevitable decline, but not as bad as it became. And even then those albums did modestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just A Little While was climbing the charts on airplay alone and it peaked atop the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Internationally, it was more successful, reaching the top ten in Belgium, Canada, and Spain and the top twenty in Australia and The United Kingdom. It peaked at number one in Japan for five weeks, and was the year's second-biggest hit on Japan's international airplay chart. That song is one of the tracks on the album that most of us skip The lady performed in front of more than 100 million viewers and everybody who has superbowl performances see a spike in their music sales. IDK where y'all be getting that from that the album wouldn't of done well. Why just because YOU didn't like some of the tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the it wouldn't do well per se, rather it wouldn't have done THAT well. The first week sales and charting would have been a little better, but I would not be coming for Usher, Alisha, etc. I see it doing 2 millions tops. I'm more than aware the the singles did better abroad, but can you (not you specifically) explain why that didn't translate into better album sales, despite being promoted internationally.

Damita Jo was predicted to outsell "All For You" which sold 8 million copies ww 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The placements for janet., damita jo, discipline, 20 yo, and dream street are pretty accurate. The others are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJoe Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Rhythm Nation should be no.1 or no.2 and that's the lowest it should be. NO album produced by Joe Jackson should be above 20 Y.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illi Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I just listen to the first album for the first time. You could argue that this is her best vocally produced album, but on the other hand, it had the most consistantly pedestrian songs. The ballads are the highlight while the dance songs kinda dragged on a little to much for me. I still put it below 20YO and Discipline, but it's not behind by much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAMBF and FY are snoozefests. Those two and CGYLTM are the only ehh tracks. Everything else is pretty good for what the songs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
