o yea..go ahead janet!!!!

o shoot mi gurl christina iz comin out wit anutha cd!!! i so can’t wait for that!!!!!

janet should be glad then lolololololol long as it aint bey im happy lolol

LIGHT WEIGHT MAD YALL DIDN’T POST MORE ON e badu’s NEW PROJECT AFTER ITS RELEASE

ERYKAH’S ALBUM IS CLASSIC PERIOD. I LOVE IT FROM BEGINNING TO END.

janet jackson should be happy it sold so much… after the disappointment of 2.0 yrs im surprised it sold so much. i have the cd 2.0yrs and i was so disappointed!!! i never listen to that cd

actually according to the official billboard website Janet sold 181,000 copies her first week..and YES she is the #1 album this week..so, congrats to JANET !!!

Janet last 2 albums have been of the wacker consistency..>SHe’s released 3 albums in the last 4 years..that shit is reseved for rookies…

ITs too late now…she just needs to let this album do watever its gonna do..which isnt much and keep it moving…take 10 years off..then maybe would want to buy your album..bcuz yo she’s getting to damn old to do this teeny bopper music

Xtina…hmmm Back to Basics didnt sell like she wanted it to…go back to being a sellout bc thats where the money is..Upgrade

as long as janet’s happy with the results cause she’s determined not to stop…her time has gone and i think she just really loves to make music. its a nice CD though..just never been a fine of her singing..just LOVE TO SEE HER DANCE. but WITHOUT TINA LANDON…the dance moves are kinda weak lately.

whateva with christina..never been a fan.

Its good to see Janet and Erykah doing good on the charts. But music really isnt selling

I bought Janet’s album and it’s HOT!!! I just don’t think it’s getting any air play!!! But I “Luv” should be her next single though.

Those aren’t the official numbers for Janet’s Discipline. iTunes and Amazon sales still have to be counted. Her sales should be higher than that once soundscan gives the official numbers. But I still find it strange that 20 Y.O. debuted at #2 with 297k sold, but with all of the promo she’s done for Discipline, the album is expected to sell under 200k. Congrats to her for having the #1 album in the country.

That’s because she was trying too hard to prove something, Brian. By the way, when did Christina ever leave “Pop” music? Her music has already been Pop, with an R&B feel to it. At least with Stripped and B2B. She’s only doing a “Pop” album because B2B fell way below the sales of Stripped, and that sound just didn’t cut it for her. Many of us still don’t have the slightest clue why she decided to make such an album anyway. Whatever.

I’ve never been of fan of Aguilera’s nor her music anyway.

Janets album is hot hott hott hottttt !! I cnt believe it only sold tht many too, it seemed she had more luv ths time around-BUT watever, albums r not sellin the way they used 2, BUT alicia & Mary did it & they singles were not allll over the billboards?? I dnt get it, I LUV JANET & HER MUSIC IS GREAT-cnt wait 2 see the video 2nite ….

i loved christina’s last album. i think that soul is where her heart is, and the only reason why she’s considering pop is to attract a wider audience, which is understandable. i mean cause think about it, how many white people are going to buy a soulful album.??? not many…. she probably sold more albums sticking to “pop.”

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT? “BACK TO BASICS” DID VERY WELL. IT SOLD OVER 300,000 COPIES IN THE FIRST WEEK. SHE WON 2 GRAMMYS OFF OF THAT ALBUM. BUT SHE COULD RELEASED MORE SINGLES OFF OF IT. SHE ONLY RELEASED 3 AND T WAS A DOULBE-DISC ALBUM. CHRISTINA IS ONE OF THE ONLY SINGERS WHO CAN ACTUALLY SING.

Love both of their music! The new Janet album kinda for reminds me of Velvet Rope but with a twist.

I bought both Janet’s and Erykah’s and I want my money back from my purchase of that New Amerykah… that is some ish 10 tracks and I only like 2. its nothing like Mama’s Gun which is my favorite. Back to Janet I like it and since Billboard is the classifier of #1 CDS in America not itunes Janet did sell 181,000 I too was hoping it was more. Christina I liked Back 2 the Basics. I thought it was good.

NUMBER ONE BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.billboard.biz/...098734cd47aec7f263da73df4

Eat that. I know the HATERS are going to find some justification to get their hate on (they gotta work with SOMETHING) but #1 is #1

The ironic thing about this is, Damita Jo (which is a great album, by the way) is her second best first week selling album after All For You (pushed 600,000) with 380,000, WHICH IS MORE THAT 1993′S JANET. ALBUM, WHICH WAS 350,000. But yet because ‘janet.’ was #1 and Damita Jo is #2, we call Damita Jo a flop, lol… I guess you can argue that ‘janet.’ had the hit singles (Thats the way love goes, If, Again, etc).

Don’t tell nobody what to do with their lives and career. JJ is going to do whatever the hell she wants. You got some nerve to put ‘teenybopper’ with the name Janet anywhere. When Janet was these broads’ ages, she was doing Control and Rhythm Nation. I’m about tired of these know-nothings lumping Janet into with all these new artists just because shes black and female — so she presumably most be the same. Janet had substance and recognition.

Anyway….

NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 LOL.

Christina wasn’t pop? hahahahaha whateva! Janet isn’t pop/club if Christina wasn’t…

yeaaaaah for JJ & EB!!!

I’m a Christina fan but she seems to follow the trends. If DJ premiere is producing on the album, does this mean he is going pop now since she wants a pop sound? Or is he giving her hip hop tracks? If so, then the album won’t be all pop as he stated.

I’m so sick of when artists albums don’t sell as well it’s blamed “oh, well albums are just not selling…” No, Janet’s album didn’t sell well because people are simply not as interested in her as they once was. Period. Alicia Keys, Mary, Kanye and others have sold well there first week, so that is no excuse for Janet.

@ #18 FLOACIST

Thanks for making that clear for the uninitiated.

Some people don’t understand that there’s more to just reading the chart numbers.

I loved B2B, hey someone had to make a blues influenced album. Beyonce and Alicia ain’t gonna do it.

SAVE R&B

Back to Basics was a classic! That was her best work to date. I don’t think it was a matter of her “screaming”. She over sings whether she’s doing pop or soul. It’s just her style. Yeah it does sound like she’s trying to prove something, but the material on Back to Basics was superb to say the least.

FLOacist

ALicia Keys 742,000 copies first week
Mary J Blige 629,000 first week

Its still being done. Nobody intereted in Janet any more…I mean she’s a legend but she fell off… The reasonwhy we lump her in with these new female R&B artists is because she insist on competing with them. She need to come harder.

Point blank

glad Janet got another #1. it is def. well deserved !

I’m trying ro figure what was so costly bout JJ’s “Discipline” promo? Coz she only started doing TV appreances the DAY the album came out. That horrid video ain’t do her no favours, so she should have been all up on TRL & GMA etc WEEKS before the album came out.

Christina, do you ma!!

Janet was great but it’s time to retire. I wanna see posts about the new Badu project come on CL, what up?

Black ppl are very interesting….Janet has now tied with Madonna for the 2nd most #1 albums by a female artist. Janet is 10 yrs younger than her and no one is telling Madonna to retire…..Very interesting!

>>>> i actually have christina aguileras last album but never got into like…
>>>> but i LOVE FIGHYTER… lol. and i cant for janet on SNL shes funny as hell….

janet did ok im happy shes at least seling peroid but she does need to jsut take it there and stop trying to hard i mean shes janet, you a icon et all the extra dancing to ciara and them that have something to prove jsutgive us the best music u can.

for christina B2b was sick she did her thing yo, the thing about her is that everyone does whats trendy she did her and sold it very well, everyone went to the hottest producers swizz beats nyeyo and all which are good but she sold us a concept and the world bouth it no one else has done that so u cant hate on her for making the world get into her not her getting into what the audince is asking for

Either way Janet is still breaking records with her lowest first week sales ever. She is now in a two way tie for second place for the most #1 albums with Madonna of all people and Barbara the Nose holding it down in the first spot. Yes, Alicia’s album sold like crazy and Mary got her platinum plaque in 3 weeks big deal and big ups to them. We’re speaking on relevancy 25+ years and you still put up a number 1 album. …and telling people to retire who are making money is retarded. You retire right now and go collect some social security. it’s probably more than you make now anyways.This album will be a slow burn for Janet no doubt she has good singles on the album and a year later it be doing what Call on Me does and keep it self on the charts for a year plus watch and see.

janet is OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want my money baaaaaaaaaaaaaackk !! this old mama need sit down somewhere she is really but really ( and i’m a hater) WACK!!!!

I predicted she would FLOP!
Shouldnt retire, just find a new formula. The oversexed image has gotten old. Which is why the masses have moved on to different artists and left her wondering why.

And by the way Brian, Christina screaming sounds better than Janet whisper anyday of the week thank you very much…

Erykah’s Album is not good and I wish I could return it. Janet’s album is much better!

@ # 28 I totally agree! Black folk need to get wiser. Why you tell one of your OWN, w/ such success to retire. As mentioned before Cher and Madonna are still kickin and I never hear anyone to tell them to sit down.

And I LAUGH IN THE FACESoft EVERYONE that says this album flopped! Are you kididng me? Since when is #1 a flop?!??! Please enlighten me. Regardlss of how MANY she sold in the first week. Number 1 is number 1, so go find someone else to hate on because your statements are irrelevant. Thanks.

GO JANET!!!!!!!

I brought Erykah Badu’s album over the weekend and I must say I was not 100% pleased with the outcome as everyone else seemed to be. I just wasn’t feeling her vibe she had going on with this album but hey that’s her style and Erykah has always had her own style as well as being in her own state of mind. Don’t get me wrong though I still did enjoy listening to it but I’d say Baduizm was one of her best albums.

Telephone is my ish though, it has that classic “Baduizm” feel to it. Damn, that’s why I love that album so much.

As far as Janet is concerned, congratulations for her taking the number one spot on the charts. I’ve never been a big Janet fan (GASP!) and to be honest I’m not feeling her latest single. To me it’s like I’m just not interested in Janet anymore, she had her time to shine, now it’s time to let it go and venture toward something else. I can see if she was coming back with a bang each and every time (as in Mariah’s case in 06′), but it’s like she keeps trying and getting the same results. So I can sort of see why some people are saying she needs to go get a seat and sit the hell down some where. LOL That is my opinion, JANET STANS GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!

I’m glad to see Christina going back to her “pop roots” because I wasn’t really feeling her whole “60’s vibe” she had going on with the last album. Kudos to her!

*Correction, I meant to say as Mariah did in 05 not 06!!!

I still cannot read parts of this site any longer but i’m really happy for Janet.Congratulations!:)

I love Christina, so I know what u mean Brian, we know she can sing and she needs to do a little more, but she wouldn’t be her without the notes. If we just heard her sing without the notes it would be like, “What is she doing, where is the vocals?” know what I mean?……………..But I feel you she has been screaming lately

i have never liked janet jackson’s music and she annoys me in interviews tryna act shy and barely talking…but wth did def jam expect duh she wasnt gonna sell alot look at that trash single she got out…..and i am soooooo proud of erykah she did good to have had the little promotion she did, she deserved #1 but oh well she still #1 to me

I got the album and I only like two songs Rollercoster and Luv.

White people and black people tell Cher and Madonna to sit down all the time.

@#28

I LOVE JANET AND ALL, BUT NOBODY IS TELLING MADONNA TO RETIRE BECAUSE SHE REINVENTS HERSELF!!!! CONTINUOUSLY!!!

JANET IS STILL DOING MICHAEL AND THAT IS PLAYED THE FUCK OUT…

NOBODY IS FEELING THAT FROM HER ANYMORE. THERE DOESNT’ SEEM TO BE ANYTHING NEW THAT SHE’S BRINGING TO THE TABLE–ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SINGING ISN’T SOMETHING SHE’S THAT GREAT AT.

NOW IF MICHAEL DID FEEDBACK AND PROMOTED IT, THAT WOULD BE SOME HOT FIYAH!!! HE WOULD SOUND BETTER SINGING IT TOO, BECAUSE MJ ACTUALLY HAS SKILLS WITH THE VOCALS. HE’S JUST THE CRAZY ONE AND SHE STILL HAS SOME SEMBLANCE OF A SANE MIND.

BUT, SHE’S PLAYED NOW. THE YOUNGINS HAVE STEPPED THE GAME UP (ALICIA, BEY), AND MARY IS STILL PROVING HER RELEVANCE BY STEPPING UP HER VOCAL GAME WITH EACH ALBUM.

SIMPLY CHANGING CHOREOGRAPHY AIN’T GONNA MAKE PEOPLE RUN OUT AND BUY YOUR RECORDS. DAMMIT, YOU GOTTA SAAAAAANNNNNNGGG!!!!

Christina, is just goin back to what she does best!

I bought Badu’s album, but it has to grow on me. I only like two songs right now. I guess I have to keep listening to the album. I never felt disappointed in any of her other albums!!!

Im so happy for Janet she deserved that #1 spot cos her album was FIYAH!!!, the numbers may have been low but so where everybody elses its just a slow period for the music industry right now and who knows things might start picking up once she releases some more songs, but she did well considering lack of radio play.

i bought both erykah and janets album’s and luv them both, my only issue with janets album is with 22 tracks on the cd it seems really short. but i’m glad she #1 181k is still good, with a lead single like feedback, i wasn’t expecting it to do like 700k like alicia and mary, a larger audience can relate more to mary and alicia’s singles, people are not always in a feedback mood, which is why she sold more back in her depressed, i’m grown now, & “(the jacksons??…never heard of them)” days. but shes changed and seems happier now so i think her career ain’t goin no where just yet.

Christina do what you do best, cos i was tired of everyone jumping on the R&B bandwagon.

Janet has absolutely nothing to be unhappy about, and everything to smile about. And shame on Def Jam for saying they are dissappointed in the sales because of all their marketing….WTF! They only started going hard marketing her 1 week before the cd was released, what the hell did they expect…most artists promote 6-8 before that. I think her numbers were damn good for one solid week of aggressive marketing and basically no radio play time. Some of my white girlfriends didn’t even know she had a cd dropping until now…that shows you they marketing effected her numbers cause the cd is solid.

But i know her sales will skyrocket once her videos drop. And please, she about to kill once she goes on tour this summer, her pockets gone be long.

Overall i say good job to her.

Also, i’m still getting use to Erykah’s cd…i like it, but it’s still growing on me. And she did damn good for basically no marketing at all. But i have been hearing honey on the radio a good deal.

Let us not Forget that Ms. Jackson is an ICON! PERIOD-And This Album-IS THE BUSINESS!! She will do her numbers!!!

I trying to figure out this “Promotional Push” everybody keeps talking about that Janet did. Because I only saw her on a couple of shows last week. Radio don’t play her songs and MTV just put feedback into rotation last week as well. In terms of Promotion that ain’t shit! Alicia Keys, Kanye and Mary all had WAY more promo than Janet. “No one” and “Just fine” were all over the damn radio, plus Alicia and Mary released around the holiday season. Janet is still blacklisted at Clear channel radio stations (which is owned by CBS), she has no hit singles, plus people keep clowning her about her age. With all these odds stacked against her, her numbers are actually better than they should be! She’s been through a lot over the last four years and and she’s pretty much been written off. Yet the woman stays on her grind, releasing albums, performing and doing videos that rarely get played. For those reasons alone she deserved the #1 spot. Give the sistah a break!

Telephone & Me: The ONLY songs I like on Nu Amerykah, I know Badu’s deep and all, but that was ish so deep I got lost. By the song, “Twinkle” it was too weird to even try to enjoy.

Janet, alright #1 ain’t bad, babygirl !!!! Discipline is hot by the way.

Christina I like her and I’m glad she’s reinventing her style.

Janet is on Def Jam ?
I thought she was on Virgin records….

@#35. Having a #1 album does not equal success. An album can still hit the top of the charts and bomb. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The only people who are purchasing Discipline are Janet’s core audience. You can just tell from the very low first week sales. I understand that IDJ and Reid are trying their hardest to make sure that the album is a success, but what about radio? Apparently all of that promo that Janet did didn’t pay off. She did less promo with 20 Y.O. and it sold 297k in it’s first week. So the only thing that her stans can be happy about is getting her to #1. Everyone knows that the general public is not buying Discipline. I can only imagine what second week sales will look like. Then we have Mariah and Madonna releasing studio albums in April.

Her fans keep saying that Janet didn’t need radio for the album to be a hit, but we all know that they are the main one’s who supported her. And this album isn’t a hit, until it becomes a success. That’s the way I look at it. But for an album that is suppose to redeem Janet’s career, these numbers are terrible. Her fans can put a fake smile on their faces, and pretend as if everything is ok all they way.

She still has plenty of promo. There is still Oprah, Jay Leno, and David Letterman. Not to mention The View and Regis and Kelly. So much more….

@53. Where in the heck have you been? Janet left Virgin back in 07.

@Bill

She left virgin after 20yo and went with Island Def Jam…

P.S. TO THE HATERS: JJ DID DAMN WELL FOR A ARTIST WHOSE SONGS BASICALLY RECEIVED NO AIRTIME, MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD HER SONGS ON THE RADIO AS OF YET); LET ME SEE ANOTHER ARTIST GET THE #1 SPOT AND SELL ANYTHING CLOSE TO 178,000 COPIES IN WEEK ONE WITH NO FUCKIN RADIO AIRPLAY…..

christina aguilera is one of those singers who doesnt realise how talented they are, because all they wanna do is over-scream instead of trying to be more subtle with their music. She comes off as a total idiot when trying to describe her sound. Like when she was talkin about Back2Basics, she said it was “a throwback to the sounds of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s with a modern twist”—GTFOH!!!!!!! How can u cover 3 decades on one album? She didnt seem to know that the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s are DIFFERENT SOUNDING ERAS OF MUSIC!!!!! And that “with a modern twist” line is pathetic. Not a single cliché unturned there lol. Shes an amazing singer, but her music is so vapid, in general and without depth. Its just that she thinks she can be like Joni Mitchell or Karen Carpenter or Janis Joplin or someone like that, just cause of her voice, and the “indie” crowd will love her when she tries to go into other genres. Britney Spears makes more original and convincing music than Christina. Shes been makin fresh sounding pop for years. Christina thought she’d become credible as soon as she did the VERY AVERAGE Stripped album and then the above average, yet nothing-special Back2Basics album.

‘Discipline’ is a really hot album, if you don’t have it then go get it. She put in work on this one.

@ JCSENE

Stay talking the truth girl.

*high five*

Do not put Kanye in this when the only reason why his album sales are high is because of his lame gimmicks behind it. Graduation, the 50 and kanye beef is what gave him the big first week but he dropped over 70% percent the second week and for late registration his “Bush doesn’t care about Black People” on national tv just so happen was the week his album came out that gave him a push without the promo and gimmicks that “in the closet lame” would not sell that much. And yes Janet does not get the radio play she deserves because of CBS radio.

SOME OF YOU ARE A STRAIGHT UP LIAR….JANET DID NOT DO MORE PROMOTIONS WITH THIS CD THAN SHE DID WITH 20YR LIAR! I CAN’T STAND PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO FUCKIN EXAGGERATE TO MAKE A DAMN POINT, COME CORRECT. JANET HAD ONE SINGLE RELEASED, WEEKS PRIOR TO THE CD’S RELEASED, AND IT RECEIVED BASICALLY NO AIRPLAY EVEN THOUGH WHEN IT WAS PREVIEWED EVEN ONCE ON THE RADIO, PEOPLE WERE BREAKING THEIR NECKS TO SAY HOW MUCH THEY LOVED IT. ALSO, WHAT’S ALL THE PROMOTIONS THAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT? YOU MEAN THE 1 WEEK OF MTV MARKETING, THAT HAPPENED THE WEEK THE CD WAS RELEASED? OR PERHAPS YOU MEAN ALL THE T.V. SHOWS SHE’S BEEN DOING IN THE EXACT SAME WEEK.

NO LET ME EXPLAINS HOW A FUCKIN ALBUM IS PROMOTED:

BEYONCE HAD ALL HER DAMN SONGS PLAYED ON THE RADIO ALMOST TWO MONTHS BEFORE HER CD ACTUALLY DROPPED, AND BEFORE THE CD DROPPED - WHICH NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE BEFORE, SHE HAD ALREADY RELEASED 2 OFFICIAL VIDEOS FOR THE CD….ALSO, WHO COULDN’T HAVE KNOWN SHE HAD A CD OUT, THEY PLAYED HER MUSIC LITERALLY EVERY 15 FUCKIN MINUTES ON A DAMN DOT. AND SHE WAS EVERYWHERE MARKETING WEEKS BEFORE THE CD CAME OUT. THEY MADE HER A SUCCESS. AND THAT’S FORCED MARKETING AND PROMOTION, BUT HELL IT WORKED FOR HER.

MY POINT?…HOW THE HELL CAN PEOPLE COME ON HER AND “CERTIFY” SOMETHING ITO BE A DAMN FLOP WHEN FIRST OFF, IGNORANCE SURROUNDING HER AGE IS REAL THICK ON HERE, NUMBER TWO, THEY DIDN’T PLAY HER MUSIC, AND LASTLY, AGGRESSIVE MARKETING ONLY DONE IN THE LAST WEEK.

GET A FUCKIN GRIP LYING ASS BITCHES…

P.S. EVERYBODY KNOWS SOME OF YOU STANKIN HATING BITCHES ARE BEYONCES STANS ANYWAY, AND IN YOUR DAMN IGNORANCE, JUST DECIDED YOU WOULDN’T BUY HER CD TO MAKE A POINT…

I THINK SHE DID A DAMN GOOD JOB TO STILL HAVE GOTTEN THE NUMBER ONE SPOT DESPITE ALL THEM ODDS.

Some of you all are the most disrespectful assholes on the internet, I bet most of you have not even heard the album in its entirety. That’s what I call “bandwagon hating”. Janet is MUSIC ROYALTY. Now I can see how the teeny boppers wouldn’t understand that fact they have such bad taste in music.

I think real music with real emotions should be brought to the table. Christina has real emotions and Janet Jackson just doesn’t like she is real.

Janet doesn’t seem real. maybe she can work on it

I’m not a Janet fan but I loved ‘Feedback’ so I bought the album. It’s one of the best albums I have heard in a long time, it makes you move.

@ #54 aka Nichole

You might wanna try reading #35 post again because they didn’t say that having a #1 album equaled success, they where talking about her success in general as in what she has acomplished in her career so far to date.

Yeah im also confused about IDJ upset about it. Like many of you said i only saw janet the week of release. To me its not a smart move especially if your planning a comeback to show up the week of release. You be be EVERYWHERE the whole Month, not just one week. Discipline is a solid cd, it could have been better but its solid, and if they put out the right song and VIDEOS, then it could still be a hit for her.

As for Christina, her b2b cd was actually good, well the first disc anyway. The first disc was actually full of r&b pop tracks, there wasnt a single throwback track on that cd. And as for christina jumping on the “r&b” bandwagon yo know damn well that Christina sings better than a lot of these chick in r&b nowdays, so dont be giving me that.

wake up on Janet and Christina.

OBAMA 08

I swear I hate idiots, and I hate the haters nearly as much… #1 on the Top 200, especially for an artist with a 25 year recording career is a huge accomplishment! Also, 181,000 copies is not low at all. This came out in the first quarter, not the 4th like Mary and Alicia did, plus they had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more airplay than Janet had. I co-sign posters #49, #51, and #61. It’s crazy that anyone with intelligence would scoff at this achievement! But then maybe that’s “hitting the nail on the head,” no one with intelligence would scoff at Jan’s achievement. Also, by the way, Feedback was the seventh biggest selling digital single last week. But Janet still needs to retire, right?

YEAH, I’M STANIN FOR BADU, I’LL LET IT BE KNOWN…

I HAVE NEVER KNOWN HER TO BE SUPERFICIAL (LIGHT) W/ HER MUSIC AT ALL. EVEN WAY BACK DOWN TO BADUIZM, SHE ALWAYS HAD SOME OTHER ISH SHE WAS SINGING ABOUT, WHICH I PERSONALLY DIDN’T MIND, SHE CHALLENGES ME TO REALLY INVESTIGATE WHAT SHE’S SINGING ABOUT WHICH I THINK ADDS A VERY TIMELESS VALUE TO HER LEGACY…

AND SHE ALWAYS CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF EACH ALBUM SHE HAS PUT OUT. I’M SURE BECAUSE SHE GROWS, SHE CHANGES, MATURING. AT FIRST I WAS REAL SKETHCY WHEN I COPPED “MAMA’S GUN” BECAUSE IT WASN’T BADUIZM. I HAD TO REALLY LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE IT DIDN’T HAVE THOSE CUTS LIKE BADUIZM HAD THAT LEPT AT YOU WHEN YOU HEARD IT THE FIRST TIME.

ANYBODY WHO COPPED “N.A.” AND FEELIN IFFY ABOUT YOUR PURCHASE JUST GIVE IT SOME TIME. AND IF YOU GOTTA CRACK A BOOK OPEN TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE ISH SHE’S SINGING ABOUT, THEN THE WORST IS YOU LEARN SOMETHING.

It is a great Album and this is coming from a fan who didn’t like 20YO. If you don’t have the album and you are commenting–you are just silly and bored. If you like good music, like to dance, and know you’re “sexy sexy sexy” you will love this album. If you are miserable because you are unattractive, unappealing, don’t feel sexy, hate anyone who is sexy, are a loser, hate everyone who isn’t a loser, or are just plain dumb–you should just go somewhere and put yourself (and all of the rest of us) our of your misery.

Congrats to Janet on #1

Congrats to Erykah on #2

I’m happy to see two sisters who I think are talented, doing it big.

PS, Dumb people and haters are annoying as hell.

Let us all be completely honest with ourselves. If beyonce or rihanna had pulled in these numbers we would have all said they flopped. Come to think of it, rihanna’s album sold around 125000 and people saw the numbers as disappointing. But with don’t stop the music, and hate that i love you doing well on the internatonal market, the album has managed some form of longevity and has sold over 3 mill worldwide. Janet, currently, has no hit single. So it is safe to say that if luv and her third single don’t do better than feedback, the album will fall down the charts just like 20 Y.O which opened with better sales than discipline.

And please janet fans don’t hurl insults at me. I only spoke the truth and expressed only facts.

@71

I disagree…if Rhianna or Beyonce or any other artist for that matter had pulled these same numbers with the same set of circumstances, then they should be congratulated. Anyone who can sell close to 200,000 in week one and get the number 1 spot, with virtually little to no airplay is doing something right. I would luuuuuvvvvv to see another artist pull this off. To date, i haven’t seen this done.

Sheesh. Lets just all put a damn smile on our faces and just be glad that Discipline is numero uno.

Now smile, peeps!

@#66. I was addressing the fact that #35 asked since when does being #1 means that album is a flop. I was just stating that an album can still hit #1 and bomb.

For the record, I bought Discipline and I can’t stand Beyonce….

Black people are sooo ignorant at times. A black artist will make music or use correct english and you will dog them out. If she was a dissrespectful hoe like some of these artist (lil mama) etc then it would br O.K. Whites will stand behind their artists till the end. Elvis and madonna have done nothing but copied from blacks and he is still making millions and they think madonna can out dance, perform, and is better than Janet.
I hope when all of you all parents are 41 years old, you don’t put them in a retirement home or just shoot them!
Excuse me, but I have to sell some drugs, see 5 of my baby momas, smoke some weed, call every black woman a bitch, go get a forty with my a$$ showing and grabbing my crouch, circle the block 27 times with music blastin, U know what I’m sayin !!!!!!!! Peace out my nigga…..
