Well Janet taught me that one disk albums can have 28 tracks so...

1. What Have You Done for Me Lately?
2. Nasty
3. When I Think of You
4. Control
5. Let's Wait Awhile
6. The Pleasure Principle
7. Diamonds
8. Miss You Much
9. Rhythm Nation
10. Alright
11. Come Back to Me
12. Black Cat
13. Love Will Never Do (Without You)
14. That's the Way Love Goes
15. If
16. Again
17. Because of Love
18. Any Time, Any Place
19. You Want This
20. Runaway
21. Twenty Foreplay

All single edits ofc (except for Twenty Foreplay) so it all fits on one disk.

Nothing beats chronological order imo

^ I love that list, but I'd also include The Best Things In Life Are Free.

You don't think I've tried this before? It does not work even with single edits, and you are not getting a pass Go back to the drawing board.

Yes, 80 minutes. We're making an album that's meant to be released in the pre-playlist era.

My iTunes says this is 79 minutes.

Ooh, Young Love is a good inclusion. Don't think it'll fit for me though. It was hard enough cutting TPP (), Diamonds and Miss You Much from my list.

Why would you do this instead of ATAP - 24P - Runaway. Makes more sense mood-wise and Runaway is much better as a closer.

01 | Runaway
02 | What Have You Done For Me Lately
03 | Nasty
04 | When I Think Of You
05 | Control
06 | The Pleasure Principle
07 | Miss You Much
08 | Rhythm Nation
09 | Escapade
10 | Come Back To Me
11 | Black Cat
12 | Love Will Never Do (Without You)
13 | That's The Way Love Goes
14 | If
15 | Again
16 | Because Of Love
17 | Anytime, Anyplace
18 | You Want This
19 | Twenty Foreplay

I really wanted Runaway and Twenty Foreplay to bracket the collection. Excluding Alright was PAINFUL, believe me. But I wanted to even things out as much as possible and Rhythm Nation couldn't adequately make a case for including all of its singles. It was between Alright and Black Cat, and the latter ended up making the cut because it serves an attitude that can't really be found on any of the other songs. Plus Anytime, Anyplace and Twenty Foreplay back to back is pretty awful so splitting them up with a hot uptempo moment is a good idea.

And Let's Wait Awhile can go **** itself.

I think mine was a little too long, so I'm open for any changes on mine.

I'm curious about your placement of Twenty Foreplay. Why did you decide to put it after If?

Oh you're right, that is better ty I wasn't really thinking when I did it I was in a rush to leave the house

Well since it was the track 20, Twenty Foreplay just made sense to me..

And open up your ears a little more. Let's Wait Awhile is such a relaxer.

This song randomly popped up in my head and I love it. Janet rarely does covers, so this makes it even more special.

I was on a walk tonight and it was 30 degrees (that's about -2 for you international types). I was frozen as ****, and then Escapade came on shuffle and it was like the universe was laughing at me.
