thought this thread was about Marlon? Some of you are way too obsesse with record sales, I mean who wants to read a whole list of figures regarding Janet's and Madonna record sales and gold albums and who has more global influence? It's boooooringgggg.

Now, back to Marlon does anyone think he is on the "downlow"?

If you really read the thread half of it about Janet's popularity or non-popularity outside America, compared with that of Madonna and MJ.Boring! Having said that there has been some juicy gossip about Marlon and amongst all the post of record sales and gold albums.

we are back to your "hunch" theory, right?

I just added to that post. Here is what I put.... "All For You was released around April or May so it had plenty of time to make the list. Most of the albums on here, like Alicia's and Madonna's, were released after All For You". There you have it.

My friend i think your forgetting that the janet album hit #1 in the UK for 2 weeks went x2 platnium wth the lead single hitting #2 (only to beaten by some novelty single)and "DOAD" hiting #2 position in 1995

Also "Together again" was one of the biggest selling singles in 1997, it stayed on the UK charts YES THE UK charts for months with the album also selling strongly

Your opinion does not reflect the whole of the UK's

The Velvet Rope here was huge here in Europe. "Together Again" was a massive hit and it's still seen has Janet's biggest hit here.

The singles from "All For You" were also massive...

Well to be fair no one has really said much about Michael on this thread. This thread has been hijacked by the question; Whether Janet has had any global impact outside America?

You have more than enough Michael Jackson comments made on a thread not involving him. I saw some pictures posted and yet another discussion about his physical appearance.

Well I haven't said anything about Michael's appearance on this thread, nor have I posted any pics of him. The thread was about Marlon and I have stuck to the topic. And btw I have seen you go off topic in Jackson threads too but I ain't complaining....

I didn't mean to imply that YOU personally posted any Michael Jackson pictures or started talking about his physical appearance. I meant that several people ("you" in a plural, general sense) have talked more than enough about Michael Jackson than what was warranted on a thread not related to him.

Another Janet fan with no sense of perspective. Look at what you're saying. You're telling us she had one Number One album in the UK. One. By contrast Madonna has had nine. Nine compared to one. If this were a football match that score would be counted as a slaughter. Madonna has had twelve Number One singles in the UK. Janet has had none. Twelve to none. Out of twelve and none, which do you think is more impressive? Madonna sold out Wembley Stadium. Janet had to content herself with Wembley Arena which is at least six times smaller. Here's a thought. Maybe that might have been because Madonna was six times more popular? Think about it for a while.

Weighed against all this, the best you can come up with is one single that did well ("Together Again"). One single. You'll notice I don't even mention specific Madonna singles because there are far too many of them that were huge. Once again, I must ask you and the rest of the Flat Earth Society to try and retain some sense of perspective.

You've just confirmed everything I've been saying about you. Despite reams of evidence that Mike could possibly be gay, you dismiss the suggestion. Yet one anonymous orger posts a totally unsubstantiated tale out of nowhere, and suddenly you're seriously questioning whether Marlon could be in the closet. As before, your logic is obviously taking a back seat to your fantasies.

You prat! I have not even mentioned Madonna or Michael WHO WE ALL KNOW HAVE OUTSOLD JANET AND JUST ABOUT EVERY ARTIST IN POPULAR MUSIC HISOTRY. My point is that Janet had been successful in the UK and has had some impact on the music scene, something biased individuals like yourself try and discredit.

The site I got the info from was www.mjjcharts.com

It's a site that compiles chart and sales info on the Jackson family from all charts around the world

Let's cut to the chase. Janet's total album sales in the UK are 2.5 million. What are Mike's total album sales in the UK?

Shipping certification for his solo albums are at around 15 million... but it's unfair to compare Janet to Michael, as Michael is one of the biggest selling artists in the UK!

I'd have to agree with that for the most part. I mean you never hear about him being involved in a scandal, he supports his family when needed, and he seems to call things as he sees them. (I remember once he said of Michael, something like, "We don't speak much anymore. He lies.") And it's like, a lot of the Jacksons try to present this image that they all get together on a regular basis, and while that might be true, I just kind of doubt it.

As a huge fan of MJ, and from reading various books, he seems to be involved in his own little world 90% of the time.

Michael's brother Tito has said in recent years, that Michael and Marlon are a lot closer that people think. Michael is only 1yr younger than Marlon.

Marlon is a very kind and family loving man, from what I've heard.

My favorite Jackson after Michael is Jackie Jackson. He his ex wife Enid said that Michael is far more normal than people think he is, and I agree with her.

You obviously haven't understood the debate or my argument. I have never disputed that Janet has had hits here. What I'm saying, and I've said it about a hundred times now, is that she has never been anywhere near as successful outside the US as she's been inside the US. Some American Janet fans have attempted to deny this. I'm also saying that she's always trailed behind a dozen other artists who have been more popular than her outside America. And I'm comparing her to Madonna because, believe it or not, there are some who genuinely believe Janet is comparable to her internationally, when, as I've shown, she doesn't even come close. They are in two completely different galaxies as a simple comparison of statistics shows.

I know it's unfair setting a giant onto a pygmy, but it does help to put Janet's sales into perspective. 15 million to two and a half million. A similar comaparison to Whitney Houston or Madonna would also embarass the Janet brigade.
