Well, and? That's hardly a reason. All About Eve is a classic movie and I've never met anyone who's seen it. Just because her music isn't on the radio much anymore and y'all don't feel like checking it out doesn't make it less classic. Most people wouldn't be able to name all the influential composers' symphonies from centuries ago, but that doesn't make those pieces less classic. Or dozens of iconic Motown artists whose names everyone knows and no one would argue against them having classics, yet they couldn't name those songs, either. Music can also only be regionally classic as well. If a song is a classic in Germany I don't expect people to know it in the US, but it will still remain a classic. So.

But for something to be a classic, the majority of people have to at least have heard
of the song, not even necessarily listened to it. Most of Janet's discography is not known in this generation at all, which means the songs cannot be classics. I'm sure that there are some people that haven't listened to "My Heart Will Go On", but they still know
of it.

There's plenty of classic songs YOU probably haven't heard, and that doesn't make them any less classic.

Read my above post. There's a difference between listening to the song and having heard of it.
