Despite slipping out of the Hot 100 just one week after its premiere, it’s clear that R&B fans have done everything but sleep on pop queen Janet Jackson‘s comeback single ‘No Sleeep.’
A mainstay on the Urban charts’ rankings since its unveiling, the tune is now set to get a much needed boost in the form of a remix featuring hit rapper J. Cole.
Get the details below:
“A version of the song featuring J. Cole will be sent to radio Thursday, Billboard has exclusively learned. The new iteration with the red-hot rapper will appear on Jackson’s new album, out in late September.
Jackson’s solo version of “No Sleeep,” which will not appear on the album, rose to No. 5 in its second week on Billboard’s Adult R&B airplay chart, making it the diva’s first top five hit on that chart in 11 years.
The J. Cole version will go to the Adult R&B format, as well as Hot R&B (urban mainstream) and Rhythmic radio.”

ICONIC QUEEN!

Whil hoez is fighting over moon men, the original MOTHA is sneaking upon us!!!
Snatch me JANET SNATCH ME!
J. Cole can’t save that s***.
I just heard it!! It was cute! The demeaning comments have got to rest.
I thought Tranet didn’t need to resort to chasing after hot young stars of the moment for attention. 😛 I guess when you dip down to #999 on the charts, you gotta do something to rebound to #998. ROFLMAO!
This site is pure trash.
You keep coming back!!! And you post up…
She got J.Cole, a great rapper. It’s not like she went and got Fetty Wopper Wrap or whatever his name is.
Mother been there done that, she does this s*** for fun and stacks coins she makes from touring!

How about her adding several shows to appease the stadium/arena demand!
#DivaOnDemand!
While your favs are cancelling dates, and fuming over VMA nomz
She needs to push another single sis.
“No Sleep” is over and done. Trying to recruit a rapper to appear on a remix to a song nobody cares about is a desperate stunt. “So Excited” part 2.
You sound incredibly dumb. It’s actually high on other charts just because of radio play. Making the hot 100 is difficult because that’s based a lot on streams. Kids with nothing to do all day steam all day.
What charts besides the LOCAL US AND R&B CHARTS? That song hasn’t charted international at all
She didn’t take it international yet. It’s clear that she’s taking her time. She didn’t even drop international tour dates. Nicki, Beyoncé and a slew of others aren’t charting high internationally either (WITH VIDEOS AND PROMOTION), but I don’t hear anyone saying anything. ????????
Um, is “No Sleep” unavailable to be streamed?
Read!!! I could’ve sworn I said KIDS! This song clearly isn’t for kids.
She can remix this song as many times as she wants and she’ll never chart
One word. LEGEND!!!
You think with the way you guys hyped up this wack ass song tranet would have a world wide number 1 single ???????????? y’all broke how’s and fake Stans. Please buy no sleep.
FLOP
She shoulda put Kendrick on it tbh. But this comeback has lost all its hype.
This song is a flopppppppppp. It only charted in the US(for one week mins you) and the UK at 97 kiii. You guys call Madonna a flop but ALL of her singles charted internationally
Where is no sleep on the hot 100 with all the hype y’all how’s were doing it I expected it to be #1 *checks billboard* ;(
the general public hasn’t been following the chart success of this song like the stans and haters do….so sending a remix to radio and dropping the video it basically looks like the song just came out to them …so its very possible for it to rebound….even tho this project is about the album and tour vs singles anyway…
Don’t even try that fan crufy nonsense. Enough of the public is well aware of this songs existence, but have simply not taken to it. A video only helps something that was already trending upward and had peoples attention. At this point neither a video or J. Cole is going to revive the situation. Songs rarely crawl to hit status now over extended periods of time. These days they either come out the gate swinging, or they immediately die. This song immediately died.
It is so obvious that Janet isn’t doing what’s being done “these days”. If she was, simple ass people would have a problem with that as well, smh.
Fun fact. Eminem and Rihanna are the only two artist that ever won TWO MTV Video Of The Year awards. I’m Slim Shady, Lose Yourself, Umbrella and We Found Love. (I had to name the videos so the pest wouldn’t say that the two were the songs they have together.)
WFL is iconic idk bout umbrellas video tho its cute tho
You will NOT. At the time Umbrella was epic. And Rihanna is the youngest to win one. I have a REAL shady fact, read below…
Kiiiii ok Mark ima let you have that. Congrats to Riri on being the youngest artist to win that’s big.
This song was D.O.A. Her tour tickets aren’t selling out either. Even Ciara is doing better….
messy bootz
Another fun fact. TLC was the first Black, young, pop and R&B act to win a VMA Vid Of The Year for Waterfalls. All the others before than were all rock bands.
One LAST fun fact. Even Lil Kim have a VMA Video Of The Year for Lady Marmalade.

Fun fact Nicki Queenaj has 3 top 10 singles this era and one of them is currently top 20 #11 and is certified gold while the other 2 Slayconda and Slay Bang which are certified 2x and 4x platinum
Fun Fact, non of those songs or videos were nominated for Video Of The Year.
Ooop mark is shady af!
Janet is done. She ruined her chances with that weak single. She needs to go back to Dubai and enjoy being one of her husbands many wives.
Can we get a video!!?
Just heard the remix, You can hear her much better and the beat kicks louder and crisper. I’m a Cole fan, so I approve.

SMH the desperation of this remix of this unbearable. She STAY chasing relevance! Khia, Busta, Nelly, JD, and etc. She need 2 give it up!!!! NO ONE WANTS THIS CHICK BACK IN MUSIC!
Your username sis ..:……..’……., ……………. …………………………….. I mean ………………… But then ..,,,,,’…”” your ……………….
I’m over Grape Juice at this point. All I see when I come on here are a bunch of pressed queens with nothing to do but post negative garbage all day. You must be some miserable people to be around in the real world. The song was a buzz track for her tour which obviously worked considering how well it is doing. She hasn’t even released a video yet so it shows she’s kind of getting her feet wet and the album is not gonna be released until she rolls out the full campaign. Janet is a legend and she doesn’t have to chase sales anyway. She’s been gone for a long time but all she has to do is say I’m touring and drop some dates and sell out ARENAS in LA, Las Vegas, San Diego, Honolulu, Toronto, DC, Boston, Baltimore, NY, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta etc. Yes her tour is going to SLAY. Her numbers are off the charts and all those I listed are primed to sell out. So any inclinations you may have had about her being “done” are clearly premature and wishful thinking.
S****** Blond, how many times are you going to repeat yourself you coked up Troll. I heard there’s an empty spot near Kurt Corbin casket, go lie in it.
Don’t care for jcole…
3 stacks would have been nicer..
I’m not even a Janet fan..but even I know no sleeeep wasn’t meant for hits..
She’s a legend who’s having fun with her music..
Bish is married to a billionaire do you really think she cares about number 1 hits?
Janet I love you but you are putting me to sleep now.
Just stfu and let her real fans enjoy her art, she isn’t trying to compete for a number 1 hit….who cares about that!she is making her money off them arenas selling out. ..leave the legend alone and let her shine like she always does in her eras.
Iconic Diva and greatest female performer in HISTORY.
