RedSimba Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Well dang (I didn't think this would turn into an Adele-sized hit thread ) Anyway, all I want is another great album from Janet, and since she's going at her own pace I'm sure it'll be amazing. And I loved 20 Y.O. She intended it to be a light, fun album and it served that purpose, but it still featured gold like "Enjoy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm sorry Angie, no disrespect, but what exactly did I pull? I was replying to Twisted's comment about Janet being "too good" for that track with Pitbull, which she clearly was/is not, given the fact that she gave her time to record it, and which you also rhetorically asked yourself. All I'm pushing further is the fact that Janet hasn't been "picky" with her music or hasn't seemed to care as much since All for You. 20 Y.O. is a half mess. Discipline was basically given to her. There's a clear difference in choice of material from Control-All for You/Damita Jo (which is also arguable) to 20 Y.O. (her hoodrat album) and Discipline. The point is, Heartbeat Love is in the same vein as 20 Y.O. and Discipline. So to say Janet is "too good" for that track is bullshit. i'd give you a +1 if i didn't give them all out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The point is, Heartbeat Love is 100x better than 20 Y.O. and Discipline. So to say Janet is "too good" for that track is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungeon Dragon Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The sound will be like AFY - it'll be pop-ish, commercial, yet have depth to it. It'll mostly be uptempos, with a ballad, no sex song. Me too. Second female to have a #1 album in 4 consecutive decades, and first Black artist to do it. That is pretty fucking amazing if Janet does that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Adele Makes Billboard Hot 100 History With 'Someone Like You' With Adele's leap from No. 19 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with "Someone Like You," the singer achieves the biggest jump to No. 1 in the chart's 53-year history that wasn't spurred by the release of a single. Every other larger vault to No. 1 in Hot 100 history came as a result of a single arriving to the market. That includes the chart's greatest jump, Kelly Clarkson's 97-1 leap in 2009 with "My Life Would Suck Without You" or what was the tally's biggest climb until 2002: the Beatles' 27-1 rise with "Can't Buy Me Love" in 1964. "Someone," on the other hand, zoomed to No. 1 thanks to buzz generated by Adele's MTV Video Music Awards performance on Aug. 28. The song, her second No. 1, was released to digital retailers on Feb. 22 as a track on her XL/Columbia "21" album, which arrived the same day. "Someone" sold 275,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, in the week ending Sept. 4 (up 191%). Its huge sales increase came courtesy of the song's water cooler-worthy performance on the most-watched VMAs in history. On the show, Adele sang the heartbreaking ballad on a darkened stage, accompanied by a sparse piano. "Adele's all about the music," Columbia senior VP of sales Steve Kennedy says. "She and her manager, Jonathan Dickins, wanted to get across in the VMA performance that the music was more important than anything else." "With all the bombastic theatrics going on that night," Kennedy continues, "we felt that her very simple set would completely stand out [against] everything else." MTV executive VP of music and talent Amy Doyle echoes Kennedy's thoughts. "Adele is one of those rare artists that can command a stage with just the power of her voice and subtle nuances of her vocals. 'Someone Like You' is timeless and we're proud that we could provide her with the world's largest stage to introduce the song to a global audience." The staging of Adele's VMA performance -- and its impact - recalls her BRIT Awards turn on Feb. 15. On the U.K.'s equivalent of the Grammy Awards, she sang "Someone" in a similar setting, and it immediately caused a huge surge on the official U.K. charts. The next week, "Someone" vaulted 47-1 on the singles tally while "Rolling in the Deep," the album's first single, moved 5-4 the same week. Meanwhile, on the U.K. albums chart that week, "21" held at No. 1 for a fourth frame and its predecessor, "19," climbed 6-4. With those stats, she became the first living act since the Beatles in January 1964 to have two titles simultaneously in the top five on both the U.K. singles and albums charts. The No. 1 Hot 100 triumph of "Someone" follows a seven-week run at the top by the lead single from "21," the multiformat smash "Rolling in the Deep." Earlier this year, when it debuted on the Latin Songs chart, it became the most widely crossed-over song of the past 25 years. The Latin tally was the record 12th Nielsen BDS-based Billboard airplay chart on which "Rolling" appeared. "Rolling in the Deep' broke down a lot of doors with regards to multiformat play," Kennedy says. "'Someone Like You' is about to crash through them all again." "Rolling" is currently the top-selling song of the year in the United States, with 5 million sold. Adele's "21" is also the year's biggest album, with 3.3 million. Columbia expects that "21" will continue to sell at a fast clip, projecting that the album could shift a total of 4.5 million by the end of the year and between 5 million and 6 million by March 2012. The latter sum would include whatever sales bump the singer will likely receive from the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards -- where Adele seems a lock to take home at least a few trophies. ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
