Madonna was bigger , Janet had a moment during the Janet era however everything she has achieved has been erased from mainstream media since her superbowl.
It's certified 6x platinum in the US but has sold over 8 million there now. Common sense would say if she's under-certified in her home country, she's under-certified EVERYWHERE
love janet but let's be realistic here, if it only did 8 mil in the US then there's no way it did 12 mil elsewhere
ITZ's bollywood influence is found in a few other songs from that time period like Bey's Naughty Girl/Baby Boy, etc. She was following a trend
Timbaland was the hot producer of 2006 with FS/LS. But yet, I'm SUURE Britney reached deep into the pits of Janet's career and was influenced from that too
And so many artists do electro tinged pop
In The Zone 2003
Quote:
"Outrageous" received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its funky sound, noting its influence from Michael and Janet Jackson,
Quote:
The lyrics talk about materialism and amusement, with the singer referencing in the chorus a number of things that give her pleasure.[26] In "Touch of My Hand", which Spears felt it was comparable to Janet Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes" (1993), she sings in a lower register.[10] The instrumentation contains elements of Middle Eastern music and its lyrics refer to masturbation, "I will be bold/ Going to the places where I can be out of control/ Don't want to explain tonight/ All the things I try to hide."
Blackout 2007

After the chorus, the bridge begins with Spears saying "I like this part" mimicking Janet Jackson in "Nasty" (1986).
Circus 2008
Quote:
"If U Seek Amy" integrates "glam-rave" elements with traditional pop styles;[32] it gained controversy for its double entendre, where the title sounds phonetically like "F-U-C-K me".[33] The electropop track "Unusual You" deals with a woman finding unexpected love. It has been compared to musical themes from the 1980s and 1990s, and has been noted as a "pulsating ballad", with the song also drawing comparisons to the "shimmering waterfall mood first popularized by Janet Jackson".[26][29][34][35] "Blur" sees the inclusion of urban influences, and lyrically recalls the morning after a party with lyrics "Can't remember what I did last night/I gotta get my head right, where the hell am I? Who are you? What'd we do last night?";[29][36] it drew similarities to Spears's prior song "Early Mornin".[37] "Mmm Papi" draws elements from a 1960s go-go rock guitar[34][38] and Latin-pop dance hall themes. Despite its "fun" nature, it was criticized for appearing to "revisit the Lolita persona of "…Baby One More Time".[39] It has been suggested that its lyrics deal with either Spears's father Jamie or paparazzi Adnan Ghalib.[37] "Mannequin" is a dance-pop song with a trip hop influence; while being noted for its "risky" and "futuristic" nature, it has also been suggested that Spears's vocals sounded "lifeless".[40] "Lace and Leather" gained comparisons to "Control era Janet Jackson", Prince, and Vanity 6's works from the 1980s and featured a then-unknown Kesha as a backing vocalist.[24][41] "My Baby", described as having a "faux-Janet Jackson vocal",[42] was written by Spears about her two sons Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline, and closes the album.[26][37]
Femme Fetale 2011
Quote:
How I Roll" is the fifth track, produced by Bloodshy, Henrik Jonback & Magnus, where Spears "pirouettes from a gulping in-and-out breath effect" and described as a "bubbly, playful pop song".[56] Spears' voice is heavily altered, with her voice being put through many distorters, filters, and blenders. The song uses constant rushed handclaps, with elements comparable to Janet Jackson's Strawberry Bounce
Quote:
"Trouble for Me", track number nine, features a pre-chorus filled with "melting, wheezing synths" likened to a "Wiley grime wobble," segueing into a "Janet Jackson vocal."
Britney Jean 2014
Quote:
On October 24, together with an open letter to her fans, Spears unveiled the album artwork. The black-and-white image depicts a close-up image of Spears with the term "Britney Jean" colored in blue lettering inside a pink heart near the bottom of the cover.[37] A report from ABC News Radio likened the usage of Spears' middle name in the album's title to being inspired by Janet Jackson's eighth studio album Damita Jo, saying "taking a page from Janet Jackson's 2004 album

Most sources I've seen who have actually broken down the figures (not just some random ass #) have said somewhere around 13 mil. Even if she's undercertified by THREE mil in the US, there's absolutely no way in hell that's she's sold 11 mil outside of the US It isn't possible. Just look at the chart runs.
Yeah right all Janet had in the 90's was half of the RN era and the janet. album, Velvet Rope wasn't even that successful In the meanwhile Madonna was slaying worldwide with the immaculate collection/Vogue, Evita and Ray of Light
and I'm not even gonna comment on the 80's because it wasn't even a competition
According to whom? Janet Jackson is treated like a goddess in the U.K. and France. Fact.
Madonna is bigger than Janet in the UK though. According to the BPI, The Immaculate Collection (a greatest hits album) was the biggest selling album in the UK by a female until Adele's 21. Madonna was also able to fill Wembley Stadium a total of 8 times in the 1980s and 1990s. Janet Jackson not even once was able to play Wembley Stadium.

The Velvet Rope sold all its copies off one huge single. You know, the 6 million seller Together Again. You know, the 2nd biggest female hit in Europe of 1998 only after My Heart Will Go On (omg so local). Janet dominated with that single alone and let's not forget the massive tour.
