Janet Jackson’s Label Woes
Don’t know if you’ve heard but Janet Jackson is not happy with how Island Def Jam is treating her debut album (Discipline) under the label. Discipline only sold a dismal 390,000 copies in the US. Janet’s first single off of the album only reached #39 in the charts. The second single ‘Rock Wit U’ didn’t even make a dent in the charts while the 3rd single ‘LUV‘ only made it to #34. Because of this and her disappointment with the lack of promotion from Island Def Jam, Janet decided not to release any more single.
This is very unfortunate. I dig the album, it’s ok I guess. It’s Janet. But then again, I prefer the remix version of Feedback with Ciara, heh. I guess the fans has outgrown Janet’s style of music? How does this affect her upcoming tour? No news yet on that but I hope it’s still a go. Janet has always been a great concert performer. Maybe this would change sales somehow.
