I don't mind waiting for Masochism. Sky took forever to release Night Time, My Time but it is a flawless record and one of the best releases of this decade. I want her to perfect her follow-up.
Jackson is only the third act to achieve No. 1 albums in each of the last four decades.
Streisand and Jackson are also in rare company: along with Bruce Springsteen, the three performers are the only acts with No. 1 albums in the last four decades: '10s, '00s, ‘90s and '80s. Notably, Streisand is the only act with No. 1s in the last five and six decades.
Unbreakable is also Jackson’s first independently distributed album, and it was released on her own Rhythm Nation label through BMG. The set also starts at No. 1 on the Independent Albums chart.
Somewhat unusually, Unbreakable hit No. 1 without the benefit of a single press interview by Jackson to promote the album.
Also, poor The Weeknd. You know as soon as he hit #1 ICKI called her label and BEGGED for a collab. All up and coming stars should be warned about this wretched leech.
Janet the underdog of the year
