Janet was extremely unfortunate that her career was ended prematurely at the Super Bowl, while Justin Timberlake seems to have survived that incident untarnished. Looking back, it is crazy how one mistake can end the career of such a big star.
We have yet to see what impact Taylor’s record will have on the music world — it’s only been out around for a week — but, 25 years later, it’s not hard to see how Jackson has changed and affected pop as a genre. From Beyoncé (see her Halloween costume above) to Britney Spears to Robyn to Sleigh Bells, the influence of Jackson’s game-changer of a record is still rippling through the radio waves (or SoundCloud waves) today.
No. Taylor has the sales but I've said this 10000 times: there's more to a legacy and popularity than sales. And as for iconic moments, Taylor has NONE.
That's true. Janet has a lot more hits. But album sales > hits
Hits still matter too though. All of Janet's 27 top 10 hits count. And since this is US, everything counts, airplay too. Taylor isn't that far ahead in album sales just yet. Meanwhile on this other chart you conveniently excluded:
Yes. Some people will say no just because Janet is a pop girl from decades ago and she has that "classic" feeling. Grow up girls. Janet is no different that pop girls from this generation and she has no relevant impact on pop culture. Taylor is bigger than her since Speak Now.

And some people will say yes just because they don't like Janet, even when the solid facts are right in their face. Plus, this is about how big in the US. ATRL always considers Janet local. But even in a poll like this they forget just how big she was in the US. You should probably be thanking her for influencing some of your faves.
