If sounds like a pop song to me, I guess that I went too far with 'pure' since it has rock/hip hop influences but still, nothing to different from what Michael was releasing and smashing with globally during that same time.
Except Janet released/smashed with it first and Michael starting following HER blueprint at this point
Micheal hadn't released a great song since In the Closet at this point babe.
If is moreso lite-Industrial with pop lyrics and it's rides on this hard, crunchy beat.
It's one of my fave 90s Tranet songs.
Janet has more global top 10 hits than Shakira.
Janet has sold more albums than Shakira.
"janet." sold more than any Shakira album.
Janet is the reason Facebook was launched.
Janet is the reason Youtube was created.
Janet changed the English dictionary.
400k WW is too low for Lana. BTD did about the same numbers.
I expect 500 - 600k WW.
Girl you didn't even like her first singles and still feel confident enough to push her opening numbers into infinity? They will drag us for what you said.

Micheal hadn't released a great song since Keep It In the Closet at this point babe.
Lol idk why we're arguing about this since Janet > Michael by far but Off The Wall was released before Control and Bad (which has similarities with janet) was released before both Rhytim Nation and janet.

Shakira has her VEVO views I guess
On nights like this
When the world's a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park
I get down
I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
And then it's time to punch the clock
I put on some make-up
And turn up the tape deck
And pull the wig down on my head
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
Midnight Checkout Queen
Until I head home
And put myself to bed
Like really, actually, poor Gagadonnayoncé Del Rey. A better self-aware song about becoming a persona than they, or any pop act, could dream of writing.
