Considering her output.....that is plenty.
How many cd's has she done? 6?

1. janet jackson
2. dream street
3. control
4. rhythm nation
5. janet.
6. the velvet rope
7. all for you
8. damita jo
9. 20 y.o.
10. discipline

And I would hardly say that "janet." is really covered "Design of A Decade". In fact, it really only collects the singles (all hits!) from "Control" and "Rhythm Nation" with one "janet." song, and two new tracks. Way overdue!

Janet has 10 studio albums.

And a handul of hit one offs with other artists (although it would be very unlikely that those will appear unless it's a two disc set...maybe a second disc full of duets).

Is there a single track on albums 7 - 10 worth of a hits cd?

Only two of her albums (Control and Rhythm Nation), as well as one song from a third, are covered on her current GH collection.

Hmmm

All For You: All For You, Doesn't Really Matter, Son of a Gun, Someone to Call my Lover

Damita Jo: I Want You, All Nite (Don't Stop)

20 Y.O: Call On Me, So Excited, With You, Enjoy

Discipline: Feedback, Luv, Rock With U, Discipline, Curtains, Let Me Know (bonus track)

Yeah, I forgot how hit less "All For You" was...But seriously, the hits get smaller but considering how many nearly hitless artists have hits sets out, it's about damn time!

I think so. Like it or not, she had some big hits on all of them except the last few. Even "Call On Me" is considered a "hit".

I hope the next compilation covers the duets and side projects she did. "What's It Gonna Be", "The Best Things In Life Are Free" and "Luv Me Luv Me" were bonafied hits and should be included in some Janet compilation somewhere.

Highlighted the realistic ones (IMHO). Add "Just A Little While" as a possibility (actually performed better on the pop charts than "All Nite", although that is such a huge fan favorite, it has to go on there.

Thanks for sharing that daPrettyman. So its official that this song is going tobe a part of a Greatest Hits collection. Well I will definately be buying this one. I've gotta have "Make Me" in my Janet collection.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

#1 on the r&b charts is good enough...if a song went #1 on the country charts and not pop is that not a hit either?

To me it is. Now, on Stevie's number ones compilation, he included "So What The Fuss" and it wasn't technically a number one hit, but it was the #1 most added song and #1 in spins for a while.

why you trying ot make me cut you? lol

all nite, just a little while, i want you, enjoy, so excited, rock with you, feedback, plus two new tracks is 9 tracks...and that doesn't cover ANYTHING from the velvet rope (got til its gone, go deep, together again, i get lonely), all for you (title, someone to call my lover, doesnt really matter, son of a gun), and most of janet (if, again, you want this, because of love).

so that's what...21 tracks? sounds like a decent compilation to me.

The only problem is that it is an A&M compilation which doesn't include 1993-current.

We need a Def Virgin compilation (giggle)

Virgin tracks may be included. I only say that because they are all struggling to get a dime in this bad economy and you see so many compilations from different record companies now.

it's strong and I like it, but it's nothing really new, it sounds like Feedback part 2. Her voice is nice though, sounds very mj!

When mike died, I felt that Janet should retire though I looooove her, but when mj died, the family's legacy went with him too IMHO.

Rodney Jerkins produced this.

Rodney Jerkins Talks Janet Jackson's VMA Performance, New LP

Jerkins also revealed that he and the King of Pop's baby sis, Janet Jackson, have been collaborating a lot lately. The first record from their sessions, "Make Me," dropped just a few hours later.

"It's about dancing," Jerkins said. "It's all about her. It's about [saying], 'Listen, if you really want to get with me, you gotta make me feel a certain way.' "

Jerkins, who produced several tracks on Janet's 2008 album, Discipline, said he and Ms. Jackson have a lot more songs to come.

"I'm working heavily with Janet," Jerkins said, adding that her new album will have a throwback feel. "We've been in the studio for the last month. We've been getting it in. We're going back to basics and fundamentals sounds of Janet. We're trying to target her fans [by making] the records that her fans will embrace. A lot of uptempo stuff makes you feel good. There's so many different colors of Janet. I'm a fan, I've always been a fan of Janet. The Rhythm Nation, the Control, the janet. record ... those make you feel a certain way. It's been fun. I'm excited about it."

Janet Jackson is nothing more then a Britney Spears with a more well known brother.

She can't sing, she can't write great songs, its empty, superficial pap, nothing more.

"Make Me" sounds great. I like the idea of a Janet album with a throwback feel--even if it had slower songs like Kanye's "I Want You".

Not that big a fan of Jerky. Let's hope J&L tracks > Jerky tracks.
