Enjoy will be the fourth US single and the third international single, and has already been promo'd in Japan. With U is track 8. | |

who gets to pick these singles? are they purposefully fucking this already mediocre record?
obviously urban mainstream and urban contemporary are NOT working. it is so glaringly obvious that what janet needs to do is remind her almost former fans (those who have not bought one of her records for a few years now) why they liked her in the first place. enjoy or daybreak are the only possible shots at saving this record. i think with u is a good song. i just don't think with u is gonna get any interest from people who haven't already shown interest in the record.

[Edited 11/28/06 14:03pm] Single choices have been horrid. I think With U is not a terrible choice at this point as ballads tend to do better in the winter months and of the singles so far has the best chance at pop radio, which is where she needs to gain ground. Urban will support her no matter what. I agree they should be releasing it to all formats at once, though. Enjoy, to put it quite simply, is probably too melodic for US radio In other news, Janet's chart placement skyrocketed this week for some reason: -- 33 JANET JACKSON VIRGIN 52,596 20 Y.O. - with 71% reported [Edited 11/28/06 14:07pm] | |

Enjoy, to put it quite simply, is probably too melodic for US radio i really think enjoy would do well. its easily one of the best tracks she's recorded in years and is undeniably infectious (but not like an std or anything ). it would do good on pop and urban stations and let's face it, dupri has succeeded at one thing and that is excluding a wider audience from janet's music. | |

maybe the chart boom is due to black friday sales and the ellen performance? was she on the music awards show that just aired (american, i think)? | |

No. She will be opening the Billboard Awards on December 4th, though. Yes, black Friday usually leads to a spike in sales but this is what, 300+%? Odd. No one was expecting it. | |

I think that "Do It 2 Me" would be a better choice...but I love "With U".
I'm glad we are getting "Enjoy". With a good video, it will do well here in Europe! This sales boost is great...20 YO is a great album and deserves more recognition! [Edited 11/28/06 14:12pm] | |

Yes, Enjoy is fabulous. I tend to think it would have done incredibly well if it were released in 1995. Today I'm not so sure. I mean look at what is a hit today. I had actually hoped we would get Show Me as a single - I love that track and its cheap synths. Catchy stuff. The chant is great. I do not think pop stations will give her a chance for another two years or so, though. Same thing happened with Mariah. [Edited 11/28/06 14:15pm] | |

Y'all should be happy, so many people told me "With U" was their cut, also the choice ballad when I was saying "Take Care" was the cut.
"Daybreak" could do great on pop or urban radio. | |

No one was expecting it. if virgin is smart (or janet's people, whomever they may be), they should buy up a bunch and get the record back in the top ten before the release of a new single. if the new single generates interest, it could help breathe life into the record. since it would already be in the top 10, the record's visibility would be much better. though i haven't listened to the record in over a month (my itunes lists the 20th of october as the last date any of 20 YO's songs were played), i'd still like to see her salvage it before a tour begins. | |

By the way...how did the remixes from 20 YO do on the dancefloor charts? Janet is usually very sucessfull there.
Personally I did not like the Junior Vasquez's remixes of So Excited | |

good choice! I agree that though "enjoy' is a great song, it wouldn't play much on the radio! | |

OK I have to say, at 5 minutes, "With U" needs a radio edit. | |

Oh, that will happen I'm sure it will be shortened to about 3:30. They will probably eliminate the bridge, which is my least favorite part of the song. | |
