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:



Via Billboard:

“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.”

    J. Cole can’t save that s***.

  3. ???? July 22, 2015

    I just heard it!! It was cute! The demeaning comments have got to rest.

  4. Sage July 22, 2015

    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!

    • Smh July 22, 2015

      This site is pure trash.

      • Bravo!! July 23, 2015

        You keep coming back!!! And you post up…

    • Mark111 July 22, 2015

      She got J.Cole, a great rapper. It’s not like she went and got Fetty Wopper Wrap or whatever his name is.

  5. @JanetCIARA_ July 22, 2015

    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!

    • Molly July 22, 2015

      She needs to push another single sis.

  6. Qaz July 22, 2015

    “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.

  7. @Qaz July 22, 2015

    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.

    • Tranet Ghost whisper jackson July 22, 2015

      What charts besides the LOCAL US AND R&B CHARTS? That song hasn’t charted international at all

      • @Tranet July 23, 2015

        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. ????????

    • Qaz July 22, 2015

      Um, is “No Sleep” unavailable to be streamed?

      • @Qaz July 23, 2015

        Read!!! I could’ve sworn I said KIDS! This song clearly isn’t for kids.

  8. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson July 22, 2015

    She can remix this song as many times as she wants and she’ll never chart

  9. hotness90 July 22, 2015

    One word. LEGEND!!!

  10. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson July 22, 2015

    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.

  11. LeToya Luckett❤️ July 22, 2015

    FLOP

  12. Molly July 22, 2015

    She shoulda put Kendrick on it tbh. But this comeback has lost all its hype.

  13. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson July 22, 2015

    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

  14. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson July 22, 2015

    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* ;(

  15. PAT July 22, 2015

    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…

    • IcyOne July 23, 2015

      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.

      • @IcyOne July 23, 2015

        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.

  16. Mark111 July 22, 2015

    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.)

    • Molly July 22, 2015

      WFL is iconic idk bout umbrellas video tho its cute tho

      • Mark111 July 22, 2015

        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…

      • Molly July 22, 2015

        Kiiiii ok Mark ima let you have that. Congrats to Riri on being the youngest artist to win that’s big.

  17. Lois Griffin July 22, 2015

    This song was D.O.A. Her tour tickets aren’t selling out either. Even Ciara is doing better….

    • Molly July 22, 2015

      messy bootz

  18. Mark111 July 22, 2015

    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.

    • NCA=Nicki-Ciara+Alicia July 22, 2015

      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

      • Mark111 July 23, 2015

        Fun Fact, non of those songs or videos were nominated for Video Of The Year.

  19. Molly July 22, 2015

    Ooop mark is shady af!

  20. Cookie July 22, 2015

    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.

  21. Bravo!! July 22, 2015

    Can we get a video!!?

  22. Troll Account #78 July 22, 2015

    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!

    • NCA=Nicki-Ciara+Alicia July 23, 2015

      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.

  24. Ciara=Slay July 23, 2015

    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.

  25. Ratedxxx July 23, 2015

    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?

  26. Xtina = The voice of this generation July 23, 2015

    Janet I love you but you are putting me to sleep now.

  27. carpetlayer July 23, 2015

    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.

  28. MichaelM July 23, 2015

    Iconic Diva and greatest female performer in HISTORY.
