It's a FACT that she only has 5 global Top 10 hits and only Together Again barely managed to sweep the top spots. Sorry but miss janet does not have any global classic. Accept the truth and move on. Girl has great legacy and impact, but being a global phenomenon is not one of them.

1. What's the use of posting them in here anyway? But alright, BS vs janet. BS charted in more places and had better (or the same) peaks than janet, which is her best performance outside of the States. BS also has more certified units outside of the States (2.5 million) than janet (2 million) + Secret performing better than any janet's single. Keep in mind we're comparing Janet's biggest era to one of Madonna's middle sized ones yet still Madge wins. Guess this just further proofs my point, you just shot your foot AGAIN.

And I'm not surprised.

The utter lack of sense. Let's take a close look at the stupidity that you're saying. First, the definition of global: Of, relating to, or involving the entire earth; worldwide. So enlighten me on how being massively popular/successful in just ONE country makes you global? And more importantly how it makes you "more global" than another act that is more popular and more successful in several countries across the globe? I cannot! 
It's simple. You accused me of something I didn't do, that's why I asked for proof, proof that you will never bring cause I have never said such a thing. On top of that, you haven't had trouble quoting old posts of mine before but whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.
For the umpteenth time, I have NEVER addressed Aguilera as a "global phenomenon". Your pathetic argument died before even happening. How the **** did I follow you into this thread when I was already arguing with Janet stans when you quoted me first? The nerve of you to talk about consistency and "solid train of thoughts".
Nnnn I got you THAT mad, how cute! 
What's up with your bible?  I could go on and give a response to each and every one of your paragraphs. But this will go on forever and we will never agree on anything, so what's the use?
I'm not stating Janet as a "flop" or "local". I'm well aware that she gained some success in some countries across the globe. NOT ENOUGH to be considered a global phenomenon, in my opinion as I can bring 20x that for MJ, Madonna & The Beatles, but more than enough in yours. I compared it to the achievements of other acts that I consider global phenomenons to exemplify the reasoning behind my decision, which you failed to understand. She didn't take over the world enough to be considered a phenomenon in my opinion, if you disagree with that, FINE.
I will never change your opinion, and you will never change mine so this is actually ridiculous and stupid. I'm done arguing this, I stand behind my opinion but I'll respectfully accept yours cause this already bored me.
I will just add that I cackled at you questioning Mediatraffic first and then using it to back your claims.  Adiós. |
waiting.. stop talking and do somethin'.

Janet is forgotten but you're up in her thread spewing nonsense. When She comes out this year her old material will be revisited and may sell. Or it may not. It doesn't really matter what your eyes can see but she will remain your faves fave. Influencing generations to come. Impacting entertainers both male and female. Will be cited and linked to the women you try to make superior and the ones who will remain inferior. You will pull your new growth out when the single and album comes out because it won't be a come and go album. You will further disintegrate into madness when she blazes the stage this fall. Finally you will see the error in your ways when all accept her as the greatest female entertainer that ever lived.

Janet was about creating iconic eras she wasn't trying to make flash in the pan hits and blockbusters which she could of easily of donem velvet rope could of easily been a pop heavy record and continued to ride wave off Janet era, and she probably could of squeezed another LP in the 90s too. But she was busy building masterpeices. Her impact FAR out ways hers sales.

I really hate when people use their ignorance to try and slay an,argument. So because YOU don't know Janets catalogue other people in the world don't either? No you are just the dumb ass. She is the 7th best selling female artist and you are on a pop forum arguing you don't know one of the best selling and influential. No I think you are the local idiot. Not Janets sales. How stupid can one sound. I mean i don't really know many songs by the beatles, Madonna , or Celine Dion but that doesn't mean I'm gonna say because I don't hear it I don't know them so for they must be forgotten. Girl bye

Damn, I guess Rick Astley is a bigger cultural phenomenon and has more memorable songs than both Cher and Madonna.   |
This. I'm done.
Some people love to suck the fun out of discussions.

The essays
But Lately better educate these girls with class 
It's also funny how people are attempting to drag Janet yet she has influenced damn near the entire industry, she's popularized alter egos (Damita Jo), introduced the New Jack Swing sound (Control - The Velvet Rope), made interludes a thing (starting with Rhythm Nation) and was one of the first artist to ever get personal on a record
