The truth is Janet has been blacklisted by the music industry since 2004. This has had a knock on effect on her overall sales. Janet,s international market is suffering as a result of this as they are not getting any acess to her music via radio or music channels hence lower sales than usual and now her own record lable has dissed her due to poor sales, through no fault of her own. I agree with the poster saying Janet needs to tour the rest of the world where she still has fan bases that do appreciate Janets music. These days it seems people with no talent can top the charts. It does not seem fair as Discipline is actually a good album. I say it is time for Janet to change direction musically. Jermaine Dupri is like poison to her music career and is not helping at all. Janet still has it in her to produce a hit but she should take a back seat for a while and let the American public forget about that incident even though it has been like 4 years. All the other great divas like Mariah, Madonna have had low moments in their careers but they have all managed to come back. Janet just needs a good producer her own input on her music which has been lacking of late and a great marketing strategy.

Re:Sn if Janet is a has been then why are you taking the time out to read about her than comment ? That does not make sense to me lol. 4 someone who is a non fan you seem to know alot about her, I know Janet is doing so much better than you and because you don,t like her there are plenty of others that do.

Can't stand her anymore. I am sick of seeing her same old dance routine's and her music is sounding all the same. There is no real substance to this so called pop singer. She is so yesterday - give it up Janet, admit defeat, retire and marry your little man. It's the only way because it doesn't look like you'll be making any money yourself!

OMG I can,t believe half the comments I have read on this blog. Janet is an Icon, she has so much talent. It looks like a majority of the American public is against her since superbowl, which I feel was blown way out of proportion, the industry has been against her since then and now her own lable. Janet is still apreciated in other countries but she has not toured in years and had no releases from her album which I would say makes sense now I know she is not being promoted. Janet should focus on other countries like Japan, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa she has a huge following in all these countries but without access to her music her popularity will dwindle thanks to the industry and now her own lable.

Each person is entitled to their own opinion. But in my own opinion Janet is still relevant she had at least 4 potential hits from her album which sadly will not see the light of day due to her current lable mismanaging her career. I hope Janet keeps doing her thing and to people saying she,s not selling millions as she use to, it is impossible for any artist now to sell those numbers. Janet has still got a solid fanbase her album did go to no 1 on billboard. I agree she needs to revamp her sound but I still feel she has talent but it is not being harnessed properly.

Considering the fact that she'll be touring in support of the album, I think a new single is worth releasing! Perhaps The #1 with Missy Elliot? However the album's pretty weak except for a couple of tunes.

Don't go blaming the record label, that is SO 2006!! It's about money, and if your album is not getting the buzz from the public to justify the money the company spent at first, then no more will be spent & promotion will cease. That's called marketing, people. This used to not be an issue for Janet, but now it is because she's not musically relevant anymore - something the fans with blinders don't wanna embrace.
I love Janet & all… but her musical career is as dry as a bone now. This is a woman who used to sell 10 million copies every album, damn-near, and now is lucky to break a million. This is now a person who hasn't gone multi-platinum in 7 years & we got a bunch of net bloggers still pretending she's musically still relevant. It's hypocritical. If Beyonce were to have ONE album not sell as well as expected, some of you would be saying "She's washed up, she needs to go sit down because she flopped." Yet Janet can spend 7 years, dropping album after album & barely even hit a million, and no one wants to say she flopped. That's a double standard. It's OK to say we love her AND that she flopped. Doesn't have to be an either-or.

LUV and Rock With You and Feedback are all great and should be big hits but the record label is obviously very misguided.
