It’s the news Janet Jackson fans have been waiting for.
The Queen of Pop has revealed that she is indeed working on a new studio album – news she confirmed the week her iconic ‘janet’ LP turns 20 years old.
Details after the jump…
In a new interview with Billboard, the diva – who turned 47 on Thursday – offered retrospective thoughts about the classic LP and teased her hotly anticipated new record.
Peep an excerpt below:
May 18 marks the 20th anniversary of “janet.” How would you describe what that album captures about your life at that time?
I can’t believe it is already 20 years! I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. I wanted to allow people in… I want my fans to really know me. The ‘janet’ album was sexual and I was beginning to really discover that side of me.
There are musical references and direct samples of janet. songs all over the place now, most notably on Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice.” Have you heard most of these re-interpretations (Moon Boots’ “Sugar,” which samples “If,” How To Dress Well’s cover of “Again,” MNEK’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” etc?) And how does it feel to see your work have such impact on new artists?
I have listened to the music that is out there and I love Kendrick’s “Poetic Justice.” There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
Several of the songs on janet. and their accompanying videos were groundbreaking at the time for their overt sexuality. Why was it so important for you to express that part of yourself in your work, and how did you convince others around you at the time to let you take those risks?
Like I said before, I write about my experiences or things that touch me deeply. I was really beginning to get in tune with my sexual self. This is what I wanted to express so I did. The decision to move forward in an artistic way is mine. I didn’t need to convince anyone.
Many artists cite you as a role model and a huge influence on their career and image. Which artists today do you admire?
I’m flattered that other artists consider me a role model. I’m really enjoying what Bruno Mars and Adele are doing, a lot of artistry there.
It’s been five years since your last album, and nearly four since your last single. Have you been working on new music, and when can we expect it if so?
I am working on a new project now. We are creating the concept and initial thoughts on the music. I am excited about the direction we are taking. I don’t want to rush it… I don’t want to put a time constraint on the creative process.
****************
Prayer works! We’ve been patiently awaiting a new Ms. Jackson LP for the longest. As her last few (and underrated) projects have highlighted, she still has “it” in abundance and is still a plausible chart prospect — if backed by the right “corporate machine”.
Here’s hoping she’s being deliberately coy about the status of the project and will be releasing it sooner rather than later. We’ve been ready!
Peep some of our favourite new Janet moments below…

They met through ~~~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles.

old ass h**.
How is Rita Whora?
KESHIA CHANTE —————> RITA WHORA
Rita is an understudy of Rihanna.
Rihanna should file a copyright lawsuit against Whora for character impersonation and artistry infringement.
Can’t wait when my girl Keshia Chante shuts the game down on y’all.
And Janet is a LEGEND! And one s*** one at that too.
The other nipple this time around
Bahahahahahahahahaha
Dead.
FLOP
But u stan for a non factor like GaGa
You mean “Marry The Night”?
Yaaaas the real queen is coming back!! Gaga & Rita fans mad cause their favs will never have an impact like Janet did.
Bish shut up GaGa shitsssssssssssss on HAGnet and S******
Gaga is a Janet fan, take a seat.
#No1curr!!
Kill yo momma
lmao your fav is a janet fan b**** stfu
Let JJ show these broads how to entertain…that doesn’t involve booty popping
More like . . . Let her LEARN from these “p**** poppers” how to have successful tours
Janet is the third most successful black touring act of all time (only behind MJ & Tina Turner), have a seat hunty.
Girl please…Janet doesn’t need to learn anything from anyone…Good luck stanning for your fave’s money
Beyonce is Black and always outgrossed her so IDKWTF you’re talking about . .
Ok h20 b**** f*** around here and get drug by yo glued in tracks if u want too!! Atleast she didnt steal ppl money knowin she pregnant and wont finish the tour
And @ Dossome I don’t stan for my fav’s money lol those are STATS.
No I’m talking worldwide dumbass…….
Well, worldwide, these tours you mentioned never outgrossed TBE, IASF and MCS.
Look it up!
@H2O
Janet :
“The tour grossed over $28 million in the US only from dates reported, and nearly $65 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $200 million, based on 2008 average ticket price)”
“The Tour generated over $35 Million dollars in the US and over $75 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $130 million, based on 2008 average ticket price”
“The tour grossed $32.5 million in the US, and $78 million worldwide (equivalent roughly to $133 million in 2008)”
Beyonce :
“The tour grossed $86 million from 102 concert shows and 108 show total grossed $102 million”
B**** BYE.
Your numbers are really really FAKE and inflated!
What do you mean “Janet” tour grossed 28M in the states and 65M worldwide when 100 out of like 119 it’s dates were played in the states?
And that “$200M” thing . . 🙄
Are you trying to tell me the first one’s SUPPOSTEDLY “$65M” gross is equivalent to $200M in 2008 WHILE the second one grossed $13M more BUT was equivalent to $67M more?
BTW, I Am… grossed $129M worldwide, not $102M.
Your comment is a KIIIIIIIIIII from the beginning to the end . . .
Your numbers are really really FAKE and inflated!

Your comment is a KIIIIIIIIIII from the beginning to the end . . .
Are you really THAT dumb? lmao Tell me you are trolling pls…
Can’t you read? 28M from REPORTED dates.
Anyway… Everyone knows Beyonce has never outgrossed Janet, it’s just common knowledge…
Just like her albums never outsold Control, Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet.
FACTS.
The only one DUMB is someone who doesn’t even know how to fake numbers 😆
And Beyonce’s tours have already surpassed a half billion including DF..ALI, for which I’m not even using 2008 standards in ANY way, so . . . 🙄
Janet is one of the most provocative entertainers out there next to Madonna, but it works well for her.
@H2O
@H2O Are you serious ?! lmao. The Rhythm Nation World Tour is still the most successful debut tour of all time by any artists.. Bee could never. She never outgrossed the Velvet Rope Tour, the janet Tour and the Rhythm Nation Tour. Get your facts straight please.
Maybe you’re talking about the states, I’m talking worldwide.
NOOOO Don’t try to pull that beyonce is black b******* now. She’s creole right? Ya’ll can’t pick and choose when you want for her to be black. I notice She’s only black when you guys want to say she’s the first black woman to do this or the first black woman to do that …Well she’s not black remember.
You’re retarded 🙄
I’m checking out for it
You are very ugly
why don’t you show us your flawless face then ?
you don’t even have enough Courage or intelligence to upload a Random pic as your Avi.

Wow…look how GORGEOUS the QUEEN looks right there..I can’t wait for new music from Janet & i love that she’s in a “creative” process (if you’re a Janet fan,you know nobody beats her in terms of creativity,not even Michael) and she loves it unlike the DISCIPLINE era which was good but sounded reductive with few standouts and several fillers…welcome back DAMITA JO
You are comparing Janet to MJ? I’m laughing in GREEK!!!
No Lies Told!
But she can’t even sing tho.
Like your fav. That Aerican idol performance was a lip sync fest

That spotlight h** can goto hell honey cause the TRUE queen back!! Bey need to just sit the f*** down and stop copyn ppl s***. Watch she’ll try to copy janet AGAIN as she ALWAYS has. That unoriginal b****. Now i c y everyone hate Bey…she PHONY!! Welcome bk JJ..we’ve missed u much. I love all these vidoes and songs Sam, thanks for postn!

YAY! This news just made my day. Thank you, thank you! I can’t wait to see what she comes out with. I’m sure it’s going to be fire!!! 🙂
Rotfl!!! You commenters on this site trip me out. How does Janet Jackson and the word flop even end up in the same sentence. I can hardly type I’m laughing so hard, bwahahaha!
Discipline and 20 YO ring a bell?
Like…So what though! Google her and then Google yourself. Oh, wait when u typed your name in nothing came up and it’s because you ain’t s***. Now does that ring a bell?
4 ring a bell? B****
Janet and JD were such b****** to B in 2006. Guess we know who win in the end don’t we.
While you’re at it go ahead and Google your name as well and see what pops up, probably nothing but your facebook profile. Also Youtube Janet’s videos and see if you can find something that she stole from someone else, only to give credit after getting caught. F*** Bey!
B**** bey a b****! She shoulsnt hav came for the jacksin family. Karma is a BeyOtch bcus her daddy did WORST than ahat that camera s*** say joe did
so f*****’ Ecstatic 😀
My money is waiting Queen.
Omg, Pop is that you?
Yup , are U surprised ?
I Love Janet 😀
Oh, I knew there was hope! Your occassional B love and rare Janet praise indicates that you are dealing with your demons. J/k <3
I’ll never forget when the thief copied her at the Vmas.
Yes she did honey! And she copied janet’s feedback vidoe with the holographic ball…bey did it on Billboard performance of RTW. She also copied MJ and JJ scream video in that performance when she screamed in the camera. Look at MJ and JJ videos i mention and look at bey billboard performance! #BUSTEDSTEALN
Yay. Beyonce was inspired and she loves Janet I love her too. I’m here for Janet Jackson
No she doesnt sweetheart
Congrats on all of her success. I’m a huge fan and have been waiting for another cd….hopefully, she’ll tour as well. Janet fans stand up!! She’s back!! Thank God!
Not here for her
Then leave, haha! You can’t be at two places at once, and you’re on her post so obviously u are here for her!
Grandma is back! You Navy are too young to know how shady Ms Janet was back in the day so you need to hush.
B**** just stfu
Shady back in the day? when? you clearly know NOTHING about Janet and her career. You are one of those one dimensional young ass ignorant post 2000 era fan who thinks this b******* music they have out now, is “good music.” Please go educate yourself and stop sounding so ignorant.
I can’t breathe.
‘These girls are only on their second albums, they can’t compare to me’. Oh my how times have CHANGED because that’s what Janet said about B and now look who’s slaying. Get those sales Flopnet.
Let it go b****.
The fact that you stan for Cheryl.
Hun let it go boo. She’s a shady lady ! Beyonce still loves her
Reciept b****. When did jj say that
What exactly is Beyonce slaying because it’s clearly not the Billboard 100 or anyone’s countdown. She is past her peak and now has become redundant and predictable, especially with imitating other unknown artist works and calling it hers.
Let’s remember that she writes to HER liking, not ours. These are her emotions in her songs. Not everyone will agree and/or even like all of her music….dass life. We’re all entitled to our opinions of things…free country. I wish her continued success and I’m praying that all who post here or anywhere else about any artist wish the same.
She writes? Let’s not.
Puh-lease. I know a Mariah gworl isn’t talking about writing when Mariah is the queen of publishing stealing.
2014 WILL BE THE RETURN OF JANET
Icon, legend, and most of all QUEEN!….* Walks away*
Who is this b****
B**** go back to nursery thats Queen Janet for you she was there before ur S***** Perry non tallented ass was and she will snatch her wig limitless times. Because ur fave is a non factor. Now Bow Down to the real Queen and the Pop Icon Your Magesty Queen Janet!!! You will stay pressed and have several arena seats plz…..

Whispering on a beat doesn’t count as singing btw
Stealn ppl money when u pregnant just means UR fav is desperate honey
Well bout damn time. However as an true Jackson stan, Janet been saying this for the past 4 yrs now. We’ll see.
Bey promised a single but all we get r snippets
Beyfraud is a stink ass b****! I know this post isn’t about her but child let me tell you that h** is going to learn today!
Fat ass b**** look pregnant on a regular! Short ass huffing, and puffing scandalous b****! I really thought this b**** was going to shut s*** down in 2013, seems like the only thing that fat b**** is shutting down lately is the kitchen…How the f*** is a hive member coming for everybody else when their KING can’t even put out a damn single without pulling the plug on snippet??? B**** keep dreaming of the days when your s*** was somewhat worth listening too, because those days are long and gone h**!

Keshia Chante OVER Rita Whora any day.
Tell that “Rita Is Queen” h** to actually gain some recognition first before you call her queen.
And Janet is back! that’s great. That means I have to wait for J. Cole, Keshia Chante & to hear a Janet album for this summer can’t wait.
Btw: Follow Canadian R&B Singer Keshia Chante on Twitter @KeshiaChante and she follows back!
Can’t wait for Summer, especially for Cole’s album!
Sam called her “the queen of pop.” @S****** Blonde should be having a serious melt down as we speak. lol
Lolol ikr lol!
These bey stans r TERRIFIED that the queen is bk!
B**** you were a bey fan look how fast you switched sides your Beyond fake smh
If she.not pregnant ill b the FIRST to eat crow and take back what i said but b honest…wouldnt u b pissed if u spent hundreds to c her and it looked like u wont? Im not a flip flopper im an angry fan. But ill eat crow if these r just rumors. I can admit that i will. BUT JANET is my all time fav…she, imo, is leaps and bounds above bey but bey IS the best out
Considering “4” outsold “Discipline” and “20 Y.O” combined, you can take these flop failure words and shove them in that school bus – sized ass of yours.
As i said I BOUGHT THOSE HIGH ASS TICKETS AND SHE KNEW SHE MAY NIT COMPLETE THE TOUR! THATS y im pissed! Never sd i didnt like her music or perfomances i SAAAAID this was lowdown of her when she knew she was preggos. THATSSSSS wtf i said. Mayb if yall had spent a few hundreds on her and found out she KNEW she may not finish yall would feel the same way. She hasnt denied being preggos,..IN FACT she brough out TWO baby carriages on stage in munich! If she not preggos i wouldnt feel this way by hon she doin to much of NOT A DAMN THING tho! Releasin snippets here ans there and stupid s*** like that. If yall noticed i have curse yall out like i do everyone else. Im actually explain to yall. Now if she’s not preggos and yall know this then let a b**** know please! All i know is i spent hundreds for nothing
‘have NOT’
So surprising! I really thought she wasn´t going to try it anymore
I´m happy for her fans. They must feel really good right now. She´s been so disrespected the last few years (u know, stupid kids and what not)
Feedback is so damn good. Not one of my faves but wish her success next year
Wow this b**** @TRUTH is such flip flopper fake ass b**** dont come For King Bey yo fake ass was always talking bout she a godess and s*** and now you dissing her gtfoh you ugly welfare receiving a*** infected f**.. Btw Janet ain’t s*** can’t wait to see her flop kiiii
Not really b**** i just think it was lowdown as f*** for b**** to book a world tour WHEN SHE KNEW SHE WAS PREGGOS AND WOULD BEY ABLE TO FINISH IT and got these ppl money. U dont think that f***** up? Honestly. Thats f***** up
Btw i bought those high ass ticket here in atl. Had to stand in line forever and this b**** KNEW she may not b able to dp the US leg of her tour. Aint nobody wanna c a preggos heffa in leotards. So i hav a VALID reason for bein pissed.
The Legendary Queen Of Lip-syncing!
Lmao yaaas
Did yall REALLY just come dor someone about ‘lip singn’? Chiiiile i cant!
Yes She Is, Apparently Beyonce, and Mariah need to take a few lessons in Lyp syncing, lol
HOW BOUT THESE TRASHY LOWLIFE BEYONCE FANS GET A LIFE & STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THE REAL QUEEN IS DOING YES CAUSE JANET IS THE REAL QUEEN AND YOU HIVE H*** AND BEYONCE WILL BE THE ONES BOWING DOWN TO JANET WHEN THIS ALBUM DROPS
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW YOUR FAV IS PLAYING YOU STARTING A WORLD TOUR STEALING ALL YO MONEY THEN GETTING PREGNANT……KIIIIII
It hurt chile and im pissed at her for dat s***. That lowdown of her!
I can’t with these Beyonce fans. I like Beyonce and all but she can’t be compared to Miss Jackson. Janet has been extremely successful and her impact to music is undeniable. Beyonce is talented and all but everything she do is recycled from Tina Turner and Janet. Beyonce does not have a creative bone in her body. Period!
Okay. Beyonce isn’t pregnant. @TRUTh calm down girl
SHE ISNT???!!! REALLY?? PLEASE B TELLN THE TRUTH. DONT PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS. (wantn to get excited but afraid)
Beyonce fans stay pressed and I see why. Their fave has become known worldwide as a thief and everybody knows she’s dumb as hell and didn’t graduate high school. She steals song writing credits and copies everyone from Janet, to Tina, to Michael and there’s a video on youtube when she was with Destiny’s Child where she admits when they go see someone’s show they tell the artist how good it was and then they steal it for themselves.
You Betta Work Mrs. Janet!!!!
YASSSSS!!!
New album from Janet!!! YASSSS!!!!!!
Yes!!!!!! Oh happy day!!!! Janet come back and show us how a true legend is suppose to slay.
No gimmicks! No hype! No cutting corners!
With MJ & Whitney gone, we need one original true icon that still works hard to have it pay off!
I can’t wait to hear some new janet tracks. She’s making the right moves this time around. All she need to do is gain the young audience and this will be a major comeback. She already has the billionaire hubby and now just a hit record
Lol.
love her!!! so excited!!!!
Well, this is EXCITING news! I do wonder, though, why Beyonce fans seem to bothered by this news enough to even comment on the story? There is enough room, radio/video space and money for Beyonce to feed Blue Ivy and for Janet. Waiting to see what Janet cooks up….
Yassss, the queen of pop, i liked her last single ‘Turn Up the Radio’.
sorry…but i guess you’re the only one who likes this s*** :/
Happy B’Day Crazy In Love! 10 years!
Wow… My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~~~ ~~InterràcìalFìshes.Çoм ~~ ~ ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles.

JJ I miss you so much my queen!!
It better be a motherfucking double album to tied us over til the next decade when she puts out another album. And if it’s a nutrisystem commercial i will throw a porkchop at this b****
i almost lost my breath at this title…Janet please dont be bullshyting us…we need an album no later than 2014 sweetie…..come teach the lessers
first of all don’t go on my girl janet jackson i love michael too but janet is just as talented she writes her #1 songs she designs her tours and videos janet is also the only jackson who has a carer in acting and janet has made great outstanding achievements of her own she what we call talent what is rare to fine today.
seriously please don’t even compare JANET to beyonce beyonce is also a talented singer but JANET is one of the greatest dancers the worlds ever seen JANET is not to be played with she is michael jackson compared to beyonce ciara katy rhianna britney gaga and so many more artist she has more #1 songs #1 top selling Albums trends of which they try to reinvent and none of them can perform like her the closest are ciara and beyonce and she has achieved way more and she did it alone no girl groups no famous rapper husband on her videos every new song she is the real independent woman .not trying to make beyonce look bad but shes on her fifth #1 album she has released two singles off it XO topping #50 and drunk in love #12 amd first weeks sells 600,000 copies when JANET’S fifth Album dropped it went #1 and first three songs doesn’t really matter #1 all for you leading single going #1 for seven weeks longest for that year 2001 and someone to call my lover #3 for three weeks straight and selling 968,000 copies its first week of release and selling over 10,000,000 copies worldwide also the tour grossing over 126,000,000 dollars and tour dvd getting 3 Emmy Award noms. please do ur research.
