Madonna isn't the biggest selling artist of all time that's Celine Dion.

Idc for others. I'm stating Janet's #'s based off what I read.

They all calculated seperately and came up w/ similar #s... but i'll go look for more info to see how the #s could be so much bigger than i thought.

I'm sorry but...


















Your sources are enough to stamp this as #FAIL.

from 1976-77

I wonder what he saw in Janet before she was 7 years old.... You know how MJ had that story when he was about 5 years old fixing his bed and singing. It's like all of them had a story on how they started except for Marlon and Jackie. Do you know Janet's?

bboy87 said:

She sounded like Donna Summers at 10 years of age!?

kenny88 said:

She was about 11 or 12 years old in this:

and so the fuck what if Janet's janet. album is fabricated?

Mariah has how many diamond albums? Do you really think those albums actually sold 10 million in the states alone?

Janet could've paid for a diamond certification for janet and Rhythm Nation since both stand at btwn 8-9 million in the states alone. Anyways - janet. stands at 17 million worldwide.

There's no acurrate way of determining her sales anyway. I got this from a fansite. I'm more inclined to believe a Janet fanstie than some UK forum or MJ site

Control - 10 million WW / 7.4 million U.S. (claim more than 14 million WW)
Rhythm Nation - 14 million WW/ estimated at 9 million U.S.
janet. - 17-20 million WW / estimated at 8 million U.S.
The Velvet Rope - 8-10 million WW / estimated at 4 million U.S.

These are 100% accurate:
All for You - 7 million WW/ 3.2 million U.S.
Damita Jo - 3.5 million WW / 1.4 million U.S
20 Y.O. - 1.5 million WW/ 660K U.S.
Discipline - 800K WW/ 440K U.S.

midiscover said:

that's the site WE both use, remember?

Remember that book "Jacksons Number Ones"? The writers made that site

bboy87 said:

Eh no. That book had little trivia. Which btw were wrong about Janet being in "Diamonds" music vid.

I only use Janet fan sites when speaking of her sales.

...That's the way love goes...

midiscover said:

We talked about that site awhile back, though

Record sales dont = talent

Janet - Jimmy and Terry = Latoya
