Janet’s RHYTHM NATION album added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry

Each year, the National Recording Registry chooses 25 recordings for preservation that are judged to showcase “the range and diversity of American sound heritage.” The choices are made from hundreds of nominations. This year’s list of 25 includes Janet Jackson‘s record-setting 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814, which received the most votes in the public nomination process last year.

Despite the fact I prefer janet and The Velvet Rope to any of her other albums, Rhythm Nation is certainly a strong album, chock full of hits. The only songs I don't enjoy on it are "Living in a World (They Didn't Make)" - too depressing - and "Someday is Tonight" because I have never really liked listening to Janet fake orgasms on her albums (she's done sex songs better on the aforementioned albums, in my opinion). But the rest are all great songs, even if I haven't listened to the album for yonks.

She must self finance her own music and concerts. Since she is broke and has no money neither will be happening again. Her career is deader than the dinosaurs.

Janet Jackson has more money in one bank account than any of you AIDS-infected queers ever had in a shoe box. She is rich now, has been rich all of her life and will always BE rich. Unlike her contemporaries who've had infamous money woes because of spendthrift lifestyles, drug addictions, etc., Janet has always been known to be a shrewd businesswoman and has never had any issues with her finances. As for the record companies, she left Virgin after her LANDMARK, multi-million dollar deal was fulfilled, and she bailed from Island-Def Jam because LA Reid did not promote her album properly (despite it opening at #1). In other words, before you come on here to talk shit, make sure you know what the fuck you're talking about.

by Anonymousreply 40March 28, 2021 5:09 PM

That achievement is not to be taken lightly. Not only does it validate the album's perennial relevance and importance in pop culture, but it makes Janet only the fifth black woman to have an album on the Registry. She is now the only one of her female contemporaries to attain this achievement (Whitney has a song on the registry, but not an album. Madonna, Mariah, etc., are nowhere to be found on the list).

Madonna shits all over every single career achievement of Janet Jackson's R125 and you know it.

Jackson is a long forgotten eighties pop star who has a small following these days. Broke, unable to release or tour because of the lack of interest.

Madonna, on the other hand, is a global music icon, well-known throughout the entire world and is the biggest selling female recording artist and concert artist of all time and [bold]YOU KNOW IT[/bold].

So...

Janet's latest honor is that her still-culturally relevant Rhythm Nation 1814 album was just added to the Library of Congress National Recording registry, which deems the album "culturally, historically, or artistically significant." This is an honor that she now has in common with her brother, Elvis, The Stones, Prince and many, MANY other legendary icons.

Madonna, Justin, Britney et. al., are still waiting in the wings.

The only lesson Bey took from Jane Jacket was to not show her areolas all da time or she'd have to use payola to get radio/media to get heard. Nipplegate caused the industry to blacklist Jane and her career never recovered. Queen Bey can actually sing and dance, unlike Jane. So she has nothing to gain from Jane's sad nips.
