Plus Janet was quite prolific in her earlier albums for releasing nearly every track as a single so whilst I think You Can Be Mine would have been an equally good single choice as say Pleasure Principle, I’ve tended to focus on Velvet Rope onwards for this list. Not only teaming up with dream collaborators Jam & Lewis, the album's themes and mood are reflective of the language of both Rhythm Nation 1814 and The Velvet Rope, yet deliver something fresh, edgy and down-right funky. It’s worth pointing out that I’ve excluded the brilliant Throb, Great Forever and R&B Junkie as all had a limited single release in one country or another. Janet, Miss Jackson's return to the album fray - her first since 2008's patchy Discipline - is a mighty return to form. I’ve been listening back to those studio albums and have picked 10 album tracks that I think should’ve received the single treatment as below. She’s gone on to rack up 38 Top 40 UK singles and released 12 studio albums with a new album, Black Diamond, promised for later this year. Janet first bothered the UK charts when she snuck in at 83 on her duet with none other than Cliff Richard in 1984 but it was What Have You Done For Me Lately two years later that introduced us to Janet the superstar. ![]() I was actually going to do a Top 10 singles but just found that so damn (baby) hard, seriously, you try and do it. Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty, Jackson turns 54 on 16th May and to celebrate I’ve picked my Top 10 songs that should’ve been singles.
