ANOTHER November 17th 2009 release

First madge, then Brit and abruptly Janet.......................which is kinda fishy.........you know?

Yes! So now the greatest hits album and Make Me is the first single is finally confirmed right? OMG 3 legends: Madonna, Britney and Janet releasing all their smash hits on greatest hits albums what an amazing year!

It's been confirmed for about a week now. I just didn't post it.

BTW that cover is fake, Amazon is just using it temporarily.

After MJ's death, right?

Considering Janet's decline, a sudden release is definitely a rare option.

I don't understand what you're trying to say

I'm guessing it has more to do with the label than her. There has been no official statement but "Make Me" is under A&M Records, her label during Control / RN 1814 days. So I guess they want her to rack up some sales before she goes through with her first real album. Considering she never had a GH that spanned her whole career, this isn't so surprising.

Ironically A&M was the label that released her first one, Design of a Decade. It was falsely labeled 1986-1996 even though it only included 1986-89 songs (and 1 song from 1993).

Oh c'mon you know what Im trying to say.

The sudden resurgence of the Jacksons is totally not coincidental.

And you said that this GH is under the helm of A&M Records, how come they can sprawl this compilation into her whole-career? She was under the different labels within the last 8 years. Correct me if Im wrong.

Janet seems to be everywhere lately and "Make Me" has been getting great reception and even making an impact on iTunes so it's as good a time as ever. It's a little odd that she's never had a formal hits collection before considering how long she's been around.

Of course you're correct but I'm sure they'll get this right somehow. I mean, if it's called #1s, it will have her #1 hits on it, plus some lower-charting singles probably.

I just didn't understand what you meant by "rare." Odd choice of words. You know, it's easy to call her a death-rider, but what would you do? Fall back and leave the industry? I'd like to think that it's a combination of the media's renewed interest in her + her renewed will to represent her family in a good way. Maybe the Jackson family will finally be seen in a positive light, like they always should have been. Since June she hasn't put one foot wrong so I'm optimistic.

Odd choice of words: Yes cause I dont wanna hit some nerves.
And the death-rider case, well, Ive seen Janet grieved and I believe that was genuine but that doesnt take less of a fact that Michael's loss was a blessing in disguise for Janet. Heck do I care if she's a death-milker or something: IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF, TAKE IT.

And the GH, I really dont know how are they gonna fix it. Maybe a universal concession between all of Janet's labels.

Yes--I completely agree. I thought you were being shady. It makes me sick to think that Michael is gone but if I see Janet rise again it will almost offset it. I mean, take this food for thought; the Jackson family has been relevant in show business for over forty years now... and it's only been one generation of entertainers.

Good for her!

One Generation of Entertainers that, I hope, Prince Michael will soon take over!

That young kiddo is s00000 fine!

I know he's young but he has the star quality. He can continue their family's entertainment legacy.
(The tallest sibling, he's Prince Michael, right?)

True but Janet is taking care of that right now.

Oh... so this was true as well with Make Me as the single.

I thought Design of a Decade was a formal hits release. Anyways, I'm excited for this. As Madonna, I'm not in tune with Janet's old old stuff so this will be a great purchase.
