About the Artist

Janet is an iconic figure in the worlds of music, entertainment, fashion and philanthropy. Mega-award-winning artist, singer, songwriter, producer, actor, dancer, Janet Jackson is all of these things and more. She possesses an unprecedented list of achievements, and remains at the forefront of her craft, a true inspiration. As an artist, Janet excites, enlightens, leads, and embraces her audience with insights into life's meaning and our deepest feelings. Her vocal gifts, musical style, choreography, lyrical exploration, and awareness of the human condition has made her one of the top artists of our time as well as a leading influence on people around the globe. Through words and actions, she has set an example of generosity, of empowerment, of compassion, and helped to lead efforts addressing some of society's greatest challenges.

As an actor, Janet made her big screen debut in 1993 with Poetic Justice, in which she starred opposite hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur and actress Regina King. Her ballad "Again" was featured in the film and received both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. In the box office smash Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, Janet made her second feature film appearance as Denise Gaines, opposite Academy Award nominee Eddie Murphy. Nutty Professor II became her second film to open at number one at the box office. In her third feature film, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?, Janet starred opposite Tyler Perry and received an Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Feature Motion Picture. The film was yet another number one opener at the box office. Janet's fourth film, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too, will be released in 2010.

Janet is the only artist having Grammy nominations spanning the Dance, Pop, Rap, Rock, and R&B categories and to have number one hits on every chart except country. Among her many honors, she has accumulated 5 Grammys, multiple MTV Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Soul Train Music Awards. Janet's concerts are stunning events that stimulate all the senses-- engaging mind, ears, eyes and the soul. Unbelievable choreography performed to perfection has become synonymous with Janet.

MTV presented Janet with the inaugural mtvICON Award solidifying her accomplishments and effect on pop culture. Some of the world's most recognized musical artists were enlisted to recreate the music videos and performances of her classic hits in honor of her work, influence and overall impact in the arena of music. The title of ICON was and continues to be hers.

Janet continues to focus on speaking out and giving back. Several of her tours have raised money for charities such as the Cities in Schools, and America's Promise. She has supported the Watts Willowbrook Boys & Girls Club of America, the Starlight Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, A Place Called Home providing after school programs in South Central LA, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, S.O.S. Children's Villages in South Africa, Cartier's Love Bracelet Program benefiting OCNA and sponsored an Airlift of Food and Medical supplies to famine-stricken Rwanda. Janet established the Rhythm Nation Scholarship with the UNCF and has assisted countless students striving to meet their educational goals.

She has been honored with many Humanitarian Awards due to her intense dedication to helping others. Recent honors reflecting the range of her involvement in charitable and social causes include the 2008 Humanitarian of the Year award from the Lisa Lopes Foundation, the 2008 Vanguard Award from GLAAD, and the 2004 Touching a Life Humanitarian and Philanthropic Award from the NBA. Janet's efforts have also been recognized by AIDS Project LA, the Congress for Racial Equality, and by the NAACP with their Chairman's Award. In September 2009, Janet chaired amFAR's inaugural fundraising event in Milan, Italy during Fashion Week and raised over 1.1 million dollars.

Next year, Janet will publish her first book, providing an intimate look at her life and how she has dealt with issues of self-esteem. Janet will reveal aspects not known before about her uniquely successful career in music, television and films.

Janet's next studio album is slated to be released in 2010.

    Barring a major comeback--which I would gladly welcome--Janet Jackson's hit-making career seems to have come to an end when she performed with Justin Timberlake at a certain Super Bowl halftime show. Prior to that lapse in judgment, she had been one of America's pre-eminent pop-R&B singers--after all, she came from musical royalty. Even if she is never able to return to her former glory (sadly, radio is not kind to performers over 35, in any genre, no matter how good the music), this collection will stand as an impressive body of work. The first disc is the stronger of the two, and covers the years of 1986-1993. Many of these songs are certified classics: "What Have You Done for Me Lately" is a wonderfully defiant statement:, "That's the Way Love Goes" is a sexy treat, "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" still goes off like a bomb when it plays in your iPod, not to mention "Escapade", "Miss You Much", and "Nasty", among others. This disc also includes Janet's collaboration with Herb Alpert--a hit-maker before she was even born--whom Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis gave one final top ten hit, "Diamonds", as well as "The Best Things in Life Are Free", recorded with the late great Luther Vandross and those guys from New Edition. The second disc finds her career kicking into a lower gear, but not always for a lack of trying. The disc opens with the rest of Janet's 1993-94 work from the album "janet." This material is still great overall, but you can see the sexiness start to creep in--"Any Time, Any Place" is pretty ribald compared to "Escapade". This era also ushered in interludes--short skits that occur on R&B albums, marring the overall flow of the album. The only time these every really worked was on "Rhythm Nation 1814", when they were part of the flow and not like speed bumps standing in the way of good music. The disc also includes some important one-off items: the collaboration with her King of Pop brother, "Scream" (the first time it has appeared on a Janet album); a duet with Busta Rhymes(!) on "What's It Gonna Be?!" and a reprise of the hit single from "Design of a Decade", "Runaway". Surprisingly, "The Velvet Rope"--a dark, sexy album that showed many sides of Janet's personality--is well represented. It includes top five hits `Together Again" and "I Get Lonely", as well as dance/airplay hits "Go Deep" (good slice of pop) and "Got Til It's Gone" (a song I've never quite understood, but nice to have on here). The "All for You [Extra Track]" era is well-represented, too, by "Doesn't Really Matter" and "All For You" (both #1 pop hits) and "Someone to Call My Lover" with its "Ventura Highway" sample. Around this time, Janet seems to have pushed the limits of her image too far. She was more or less nude on the cover of "All For You", and then topless on the cover of "Damita Jo". She began to lose her funky independence and her clothes in favor of breathy tunes about her...climax. Rather than tantalizing, it just came off as desperate. Granted, many men sing about the same thing on their albums and I also find that desperate. Perhaps I am just showing my age, as this has been increasingly popular in today's music world. "Damita Jo" found Janet failing to reach the top 40 with any singles, in spite of a #45 debut for "Just a Little While" and strong R&B airplay for "I Want You". The lone inclusion from that album--a bloated disappointment that might have been better with some trimming, some different production, and better publicity--was a song that mainly just got dance airplay, "All Nite (Don't Stop)". Around this same time, Janet was also dating Jermaine Dupri, a decent-if-annoying producer whose M.O. is to say "uh-huh" and "yeah" all over his artists' productions. He seemed to steer Janet in a different direction--away from her record label, her longtime producers and her fanbase. Her next album, "20 Y.O", seemed like an attempt to recapture former glory. I streamed the album and couldn't find much to get excited about. The magic was gone. The album is represented here by "Call on Me", an okay duet with Nelly--another artist whose career seemed to decline as this decade wore on. With this album out of the way, Janet gave the world "Discipline". This album returned Janet to the top of the sales charts but did not include Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis behind the boards. The single "Feedback", which is pretty good if not great, is included here. The final track is new--called "Make Me", it recalls her brother's "Don't Stop `Til You Get Enough" as well as Janet's danceable past. Janet has split with Jermaine Dupri, so the future for her musically seems to be in her hands, to paraphrase "Again". Nearly every hit is here, save for "You Want This"; others such as "Son of a Gun" are not missed by me. And as for the packaging? The cover of this album looks pretty good as well--Janet is dressed and looks like, well, a lady. The few times when she has appeared on TV this year--her brother's memorial, his MTV VMA tribute, and the recent ABC interview--Janet has looked very classy and in "Control". We also get something too many albums lack these days--legible liner notes with writer/producer/album credits. Overall, this is an excellent package and a great addition to any collection of popular music from the last 25 years.

    I have followed this young lady since the days of good times. I watched her on the Jackson's variety show. I have always been a true fan, but as of this moment I am not just a fan but also a supporter. With all the red tape and the ongoing legal back and forth it took Janet almost 15 years just to be able to release what most artist wait their whole life to do. I truly believe that this double cd is long overdue and my biggest argument is why isn't radio or MTV playing the one smash hit single Make Me which I think is one of the best comeback singles of 2009 and one of the few songs of this year that actually stands out in this music world which has the same beats and the same people talking the same thing. Janet is a universal entertainer the word icon is to small for the body of work that she has put out for the last 30 years. I am so happy that this album was released and that she still has a smile that is timeless. After all the silly music is over Janet like Madonna, Prince, Reba, Celine, Aretha, Patti, and Whitney will come back and make music what it really was something to make you think and make you understand the words. The Number Ones are more then Number Ones it is a story being told via words and sounds and a story of a little girl who took control and now she Make's you move. Janet Number Ones is Number One in my book and number one on my download. FIRE is what it is you go on girl its about time CHEERS J.

    I purchased this CD because my late sister was such a big fan of Janet Jackson. Listening to it bought sadness and joy because I remember enjoying these songs with her. The songs are classic and wonderful to listen again after all these years. I hope my late sister enjoyed listening to this CD in heaven!

    I love these tunes some of which were not on her regular CD releases like "Diamonds". This gives the listener an opportunity to hear songs you don't always get to hear on a regular basis. Some of the songs were a bit different from the ones from her original releases but its all good. I kind of liked that at times but in some cases the song was cut off a bit like the song "The Best Things in Life" with Luther. I got to hear some of her newer songs too. I have not been following her tunes very closely like I did in the 80's and that was good to know what her recent hits were. All in all the CD is very entertaining although I liked to hear more of her slow tunes but I guess they were not number ones. I love the CD.

    Wow, It's WONDERFUL! If you wanna get practically ALL of her hits of an era to avoid cost, then THIS is the album/cd to purchase. (Unless you're just someone that loves and wants the classical enjoyment of having each organized individual recording released as it was.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars The EMPRESS OF POP !
    Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2009
    When you purchased this double CD, you own a mini musical time capsule of top 40 pop music during the past two decades.

    From the era of shoulder pads and oversized hair of WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY to the rigid big brother military styling of RHYTHM NATION in the early 90s ~ it's all here.
    It's interesting to audition the carefully calculated rhythmical evolution of this artist who at one point in time received the largest contract awarded to any musical act by a major recording label.

    You will own 34 tracks that easily inspired and influenced two generations of dancers and video producers.

    Janet does not have the strongest voice on the planet and could not be ranked as a DIVA but neither does Madonna yet both were equally instrumental in shaping the sound, look and style of Pop music for the past 20 years.

    The best part of this double compilation is that Universal opted not to place the tracks in chronological order but selected to blend the track listing into an order that would best provide listeners with a specific flow and groove.
    A nice touch is the inclusion of tracks that went ignored by conventional radio stations at the time, such as "THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE" performed with the late LUTHER VANDROSS.

    The final track "MAKE ME" provides listeners with a glimpse into the musical future and potential evolution of Janet as an artist. A high energy dance track slighty inspired from PRICE's grooves.
    It reveals yet another cautious dance step forward and not a misstep or a moon walk back in time.

    Even if, at the time, you were'nt a fan of Janet, this double CD remains a must to own that should be included into any serious pop collection!

    5.0 out of 5 stars ジャネット23年の軌跡
    Reviewed in Japan on November 20, 2009
    以前95年に出たベスト盤以来、しかも今回はその時の時期も含む2枚組と言うわけでとにかく豪華です。
    1枚目のスタートは86年のアルバム「Control」から始まり、93年の「Janet」で絞めくくる構成。
    Controlの時期のジャネットはとにかく懐かしい。ジャネットのこのアルバムから
    プロデュースにジャム&ルイスが関わるのですが、当時ジャム&ルイスが手がけていた
    SOSバンド、シェレール、アレキサンダー・オニールなどの作品と曲調がどれも同じやんけ!
    と突っ込みたくなるほど、どれもジャム&ルイス印全開ですが、これがとにかくかっこいい!
    そのジャム&ルイスの曲調に変化が出てくるのが(8)以降の「rhythm Nation 1814」の作品。
    当時R&B界でブームを巻き起こしたニュージャックスウィングを巧みに取り入れ、
    本家テディ・ライリーをも凌駕する出来でびっくりです。
    そういえば当時ジャネットはJALのCMに出ていたのを思い出します。
    表に書いてませんが、(13)も当時のシングルヴァージョンですね。
    Mo Moneyのサウンドトラックに収録されていた(15)や
    ハーブ・アルパート「Keep Your Eye On Me」(87年)収録の(7)が収録されているのも嬉しい。

    2枚目はその「Janet」に収録のIFから始まり、この辺からジャネットが肌を露出した
    セクシーなルックスになっていくという心境の変化かより大人に成長したところを
    感じさせ、音の方も前作の延長ではありますが、よりメロウに
    末期ニュージャックスウィング期らしい作品に仕上がってます。
    そこからカットされた(4)は来月ニューアルバムを出すR.ケリーによるセクシーなリミックスで、
    これはR.ケリーの作品の中でも最高の出来です。
    兄マイケルとのデュエット(5)、97年「Velvet Rope」からの(7)
    この辺からミュージックシーンの流行が変わってきていたのですが、
    昨年アルバムをリリースして健在ぶりをアピールしたQ-Tipが参加というのは当時意外でした。
    Q-TipといえばA Tribe Called Questのメンバーとして当時ヒップホップリスナーには
    絶対的存在でしたから、ある意味ジャネットの引き出しの多さに感心したものです。
    そして同じアルバムからの(9)はそのニュージャックスウィングの創始者
    テディ・ライリー率いるブラックストリートがゲスト参加したテディのリミックス
    ヴァージョンが収録されてるのかと思いきや、なんとアルバムヴァージョンでがっかり。
    表記ミスです。(逆にリミックスと表記されてない曲がリミックスになっていたりと
    結構いい加減ですね表記が・・・。)
    また個性派ラッパーのバスタライムズの98年のアルバム収録の(11)、日本でもヒットし
    島谷ひとみがカバーした(12)は歌謡曲的なメロディで素直にいい曲と言える出来。
    その翌年2001年に出たアルバムタイトルにもなっている(13)。
    途中メロディが変わるところで1枚目の(6)が一瞬顔を出すのが面白い。
    この曲Change「Glow Of Love」をまんまサンプリングしてるのですが
    そのオリジナルを歌っていたのが1枚目の(15)でデュエットした故ルーサー・ヴァンドロスだったんですね。
    80年代の曲なのでどことなくジャネットのデビュー曲(Young Love)を思わせますね。
    そして最後はロドニー・ジャーキンスによるアップの新曲(18)
    (ロドニーはマイケルのInvincibleでもプロデュースしてます)で締めくくるのですが、
    これが意外とロドニーらしくなくていい。

    と長々と色々書きましたが、ジャネットのアーティストとしての音楽性、拘りが凝縮されてます。
    昔からジャネットを知ってる人はもちろんのこと、
    ジャネットの成長と時代の流行の変化を知れる意味でも楽しめるし、
    ジャネットを知るには最適の盤ですよ。兄マイケルと並んでやはり彼女は偉大ですね。
