In Defence Of The Jackson Family

1. Janet Jackson

Janet's career is perhaps the easiest to defend, with the continuous high chart positions doing most of the talking. Like her siblings, Janet was initially managed by her father - releasing two enjoyable, yet somewhat poorly performing albums ('Janet Jackson' and 'Dream Street') between 1982 and 1984. Despite, 'Dream Street's' production from dance/synth God, Giorgio Moroder the album was the worst performing of her career. After ditching her father as manager, Janet hooked up with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for her third LP, 'Control', which proved to be a worldwide smash, thanks to tracks like 'What Have You Done For Me Lately' and 'When I Think Of You'. Janet's continued collaborations with Jam and Lewis proved a solid combination with albums like 'Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814', 'Janet.', 'The Velvet Rope' and 'All For You', proving to be worldwide hits. Now Janet has over 78 singles to her name - including 'Rhythm Nation', 'Together Again', 'The Best Things In Life Are Free', 'All For You' and 'Again'. Janet released a Number Ones compilation in 2009, including Dance Chart #1, 'Make Me'. She is rumored to be working on a new album.
