These don't sound like encouraging numbers...shouldn't it be going up more? Does it at least have a bullet?

VinnyM27 said:

It has a bullet on all those charts. The song didn't go up a huge number of places like last week because last week was the first week to include digital sales.

Its airplay is moving up well.

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah, if the ITunes numbers were better, then it probably be top 20 by now! But usually back then, songs that charted based on sales/airplay usually took longer to get to the top 40. Janet is starting the promotion though so that should speed it up.

It also debuted at #37 on the top 40 mainstream chart.

Timmy84 said:

Excepting Stop and Stare at #48 (5 weeks on chart), there is no song ranking above Feedback that has been on the chart for less than 6 weeks. A lot of songs are rising slowly on the charts these days.

VoicesCarry said:

True. The song's a hit, it just ain't a "smash" yet, lol.

VoicesCarry said:

Her and Vanessa Marcil look alike 2 me.

I'm no longer a fan, but very cool album cover. Kinda gives me a Dirty Mind feel.

I don't care what they're saying, I'm really excited about this and don't think she will disappoint

VoicesCarry said:

HOT!!!

I don't know if it's been noted before...but isn't her bellybutton adornment the same as her infamous boob one???
If it is, then she's very, very bold!

PurpleJedi said:

Nah, I saw a bigger picture of it, it's actually a skull.

Timmy84 said:

Oh well.

PurpleJedi said:

i think the new album cover is really cool and different.. but she has done atleast 3 blk and wht albums before... and I also think if she had her hair styled a different way that pic would be fierce...

I don't think its going too well. I've only seen her vid once on Uk telly, and Call On Me was shown many times when it came out and it still did not do well. Knowbody talks about her here and lots of pepole don't even know shes comeing out with a new album. I hope I am wrong but I don't think she will make an impact here.

Do you know when BBC1 will play it? I get BBC1 through Sirius and they've worked out the delay so that when it's 4PM on the East Coast, whatever they played at 4PM in the UK is on.

Love the new album cover. I was so tired of seeing her oversized smile on the last three. Hopefully the music will be just as different.

the obvious connection to BDSM, that's bondage and stuff like that many view as extreme forms of deviant sexual beheaviourm, in both the photo and title of the album and titular song don't bother you?

ehuffnsd said:

maybe you view it that way in a perverted way..... but to me she looks psy-fi or futuristic something like her feedback video... and again I don't know what BDSM... nor do i care or think like you do...

when i hear the title discipline... it makes me think about janet focusing on her music... and having that same drive she once had... taking her music seriously instead of just making fluffy songs...

thats how i interpret things because my mind is NOT filled with perversions like YOU

TotalAlisa said:

as reported earlier in this thread

Heavier on dance tracks than seductive jams (Jackson's other forte), "Discipline" is classic Janet. The title track is one of her typical frisky bedroom cuts, featuring lyrics like, "I need some discipline tonight/I've been very bad" and "Daddy, make me cry.",

when i'm doing BDSM play i'm submissive and normally refer to the Dom as Daddy.

that clearly points to what many view as perverted.

the single tail whip that is wrapped around her is a common toy in BDSM sex play.

the style of dress is also common for many who take on feminine roles in BDSM.

you've stated you before you don't like how she shows her body, yet you are ok with this picture which is clearly flaunting her body and you've stated you don't like her more sexual work like songs like Rope Burn, which also alludes to BDSM.

I'm just curious how you can naively turn a blind eye and call this cool and different which she is clearly building on themes devolped in earlier parts of her carear in particular the janet and Velvet Rope eras.

notice the use of Cock rings on her Latex Cat suit


a random shot of woman wearing typical BDSM wear

and is the style used by Madonna in her Erotica era



so please enlighten me as to how this theme is gonig to be more acceptable now?

Video of Janet's interview with French magazine madmoiZelle

Video of Janet's recent interview with French magazine madmoiZelle can now be streamed on their website.

In the interview, Janet reveals that the production part of her upcoming tour is already complete.

She said, "We were actually going to tour last year and I was asked to by the [record] company if I would consider not touring and going back to the studio and making the album and then going on tour. So we've got a whole setlist already prepared, a whole stage already prepared. Most of the work is already done, it's just a matter of tweaking things here and there now that there's a new album and I feel really, really good about it. I think it's going to be the most exciting tour we've done, really, and the most fun we'll have."

i hope it's different from the last 4 tours.

Get Ready was played, but no one knows if its janet or not
the haromonies sound slightly like her singing in a different tone
i think it could be her
