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.”
