Not yall saying Taylor has more critical acclaim

Janet. and The Velvet Rope say hello

[lonnie]

The fact that Janet has directly influenced about all major pop stars from Beyonce to Britney to Rihanna to Christina Aguilera to Justin Timberlake to new artists like Tinashe and urban legends like Aaliyah and some of these idiots are still questioning her impact
A disgrace is what it is.

[dirrtydiana]

Janet

[Luigi]

Both are legends but Taylor >

[hellocory]

I stan Taylor but cmon..

Janet is right up there with Madonna and even eclipsed her in popularity in the 90s she was even bigger than her brother in the US in the 90s

It ain't her fault America's sexism ruined her career

Guess what. Taylor is the biggest artist right now.

Janet is more successful (around 64M albums sold WW, idk how many singles or streams) whereas Taylor is at 51M albums/TEAs/SEAs (though she will probably surpass Janet by the end of the next decade). Janet also has more impact and iconography, notably Rhythm Nation and "Ms. Jackson, if you're nasty!"

[Reverie]

Janet. Don't feel too bad for Taylor though because Control-TVR > most female careers

Cute. Janet was huge in the 80s, the second artist of the 90s after Mariah, and was huge until 2004 (Nipplegate). You can come back with that argument when Taylor has a 15+ year career and is still getting #1s

Janet's impact >>>> anything Taylor has done. And this is coming from a Taylor stan

[IVY]

Like Bruno once said "Janet Jackson was the pioneer, there was no Rihanna or Beyonce, there was just Miss Janet"

[EdgeOfAddiction]

Nipplegate alone has had more impact than the majority of Taylor's career.

You're a very reasonable person Eternium, don't you think it's better to compare album success through chart runs rather than tea?

Doesn't Taylor have like 30 weeks at #1 in the US?

How many does Janet have?

You can go #1 by selling 1,000 or 1 million albums.

Janet has sold more albums though. And Taylor has yet to have an album as acclaimed as The Velvet Rope or Janet.

The ranking system is used to compare the success of an album to other albums during a specific time whether it be in 1990 or 2015.

Besides, Taylor is the one selling 1M+ per week, not Janet.
