You may as well continue what i was doing and list all the AFY era records and stats since i might forget something

[Mr. Wonder]

I'll have to gather my receipts and post them. And coincidentally, I'm listening to AFY right now.

All For You

All for You debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 605,128 copies in its first week. It made Jackson the first artist to have five consecutive number one albums debut atop the chart, and was the largest opening sales of her career. At the time of its release, it had the second highest opening sales from a female artist in SoundScan history, only behind Britney Spears's Oops!...I Did It Again, and tenth highest overall.

"All For You" became the first (and only) single in music history to be added to every possible American radio station in its first week. Janet ruled over 4 formats, Top 40, crossover, rhythmic and urban radio, no one has ever ruled over let alone 3 formats.

Made her the first and only artist to be nominated in pop, rock, rap, R&B, and dance at the Grammys

During this era Janet became the first artist to be awarded the 'MTV Icon' award.
