Well Latoya has plenty of fans in the UK. and she's bigger in the UK than Janet is or ever was. During the 80's, Latoya was the 2nd most popular Jackson in the UK.



ok, you're officially on crack now.

according to wikipedia, LaToya has had exactly 2 singles chart on the U.K. charts (at #92 and #90). and hell, doesn't that chart only go to 75 positions? so these must be the equivalent of the Bubbling Under chart.

i'm pretty sure Janet has done just a little bit better than that, unless wiki is completely wrong, and the only chart info for the UK anyone could come up with for LaToya was 2 singles that stalled at the bottom of the chart.


but i doubt it.

Janet has never even had a #1 single in the UK. Latoya was a fashion icon in the 80's. Janet's always running around half naked but never gets payed for it. Toya shows her boobs and goes on to have the biggest selling playboy cover ever. Toya's getting payed, while Janet's getting played.
"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

Janet's biggest selling single worldwide is "Together Again", in 1998 it was the 4th biggest selling single of the year in Europe (2nd biggest for a female, only outsold by Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"). Worldwide sales according to Virgin Records are over 5.5 million copies, one of the largest selling singles ever from a female artist. "Together Again" spent nearly 50 weeks in the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, it also remains one of the longest charting hits in Billboard history. "Together Again" sold over 760,000 in the UK making it one of the biggest selling singles ever in the UK from a female artist, "Together Again" sold over 600,000 copies in Germany also earned a Platinum certification just 2 months after it was released. "Together Again", also went Platinum in the Netherlands, France, Belgian, South Africa, Italy, and even went Double Platinum in New Zealand and Australia.[50] wink

Yeah, but it wasn't even the biggest female hit that year. Not even the biggest not to get to #1, since Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn' was out at the same time and Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart' the year before...

I only noticed that when Channel 4 did the Top 100 countdown of biggest selling UK singles of all time and the latter 2 made the list. Still, I believe 'Together Again' may have outsold every Madonna single ever in the UK biggrin The mid to late 90s were just HUGE selling periods.

That's in Europe, not just the UK.

Anyway, I'm getting interested in high selling singles that never made #1. I looked up 'Torn' and Wikipedia says it's the 3rd biggest non-#1. I believe that #1 and #2 are 'Last Christmas' by Wham! and possibly 'Take on Me' by A-Ha. Maybe confused

uh yea sure rolleyes


I love Janet, but 20 Y.O. was an abysmal flop. Latoya can outsell her. Toya's new song "I Don't Play That" is already getting major airplay on several radio stations in the U.S. She WILL be outselling Janet for the first time ever and maybe even MJ as well biggrin.


At this rate, you never know...

the new latoya song sounds like a Pink song to me. My sis insists michael wrote the song though I don't think so even though it has that jackson quality to it just a little bit

I'm just glad to see that she's keeping busy.
Toy's the kind of person that,
if you don't keep a constant eye on her,
you'll start worrying about that she might wander into oncoming traffic or something.

Apart from having a loose tongue and being a little inconsistent she is not that crazy..
