It looks like a J. Cole-assisted music video was just what the doctor ordered for pop queen Janet Jackson.
Despite a quick slip out of the Hot 100 shortly after its debut, now – just two weeks after the diva unveiled the sleek visual for her long-awaited comeback single ‘No Sleeep’ – the tune’s been greeted with reawakened interest on the singles’ charts.
The rebound, fueled by its ongoing domination of rhythmic radio, has also been accompanied by a jump on virtually every applicable R&B chart:
- Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
- R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay
- R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs
- Hot R&B Songs
- Hot R&B Streaming Songs
- Adult R&B Songs
Now, find out where she landed on the Hot 100 this week:
LMAO
You must be laughing at the fact that the plastic face that you stan for STILL hasn’t had a hit
But fagdonnas latest album sold 201,000 in the us that old sour milk smelling pusssssy having biitch is irrelevant
STOP BC AALIYAH STRUGGLED TO SELL HALF OF THAT BACK IN A TIME WHEN GOING 5X PLATINUM WAS AS EASY AS BREATHING BEFORE SHE DIED. SIT DOWN. JANET STANS ARE FOREVER JEALOUS OF HER PEERS bc she’s the least successful of them all.
@whatnow shut the fuccck up you trolling ass biitch go play in traffic your fatherless f****
Janet stans have absolutely no reason to be jealous of anyone else. Janet have broken more than a dozen records with fewer albums than most of her peers. Her career is legendary and that’s all that matters. She’s done very well for herself from the 80’s to the early 00’s. Most careers in music don’t hardly last that long.
Ok its back in top 60 still struggling to outpeak I Bet I see.
Girl take your meds.
Stop obsessing over me irrelevant fagggott.
19k
Are you seriously pitting Ciara against Janet? This era is all about the tour anyway – Janet’s arena tour is already larger and grossing way more that Ciara’s tiny venue tour. Plus as an indie artist Janet keeps more of her earnings. STFU Molly and grab a handful of seats cause you need them.
P.s. I am actually a Ciara fan
No Sleep should be renamed No Sales kii
Hi Molly.
Kiii that ain’t me s*****.
LMAO
U
Unimpressive.
For it to have no promo or any type of advertising this is actually pretty good imo…
Madonna stans /fans stay mad! But none of her contemporaries are doing that!! And hasn’t as fo latley! Ya’ll just want to that album drop she coming for the number 1 spot. Bless.
Keep dreaming! Her grinch looking ass is done and has been since she showed her mutant nipple to the world!
Bye girl
“Grinch”? LMBO!!
Hahahaha, it recharted higher than Madonna and Mariah’s singles in the past year.
Mariah is still superior than Tranet .
Not on the stage nor tour. Janet is in the fight of Queen of Pop, Mariah is the studio vocalist that’s always second to Whitney, even tho she’s not even on Beyonce level of singing.
The fact remains Mariah is more talented and sold more records than Janet boo.
She sold more because she dropped an album almost every year in the 90s. Janet only release 2 albums in the 90s and was the 2nd most successful female artist of the decade, 2nd to MooMoo after countless singles and albums the whole decade.
Ciara has sold over 25 million records and has 8 top 10 hits. Pretty good for a “flop”? Kiii seethe Markesha
She have less top 10s than Jan’s #1’s?! 25 mil? You know damn will it’s less than 10.
She’s sold over 25 million records deal with it ho.
MADONNA & MC HAVE HAD CAREERS AND HITS POST 2001 AND PLATINUM ALBUMS POST 04. KIII
Trying it…..
Is Molly: The @ss Kisser Award recipient talking ish? Janet has 10 #1s and countless top 40 hits. Ciara is going to need to eff a lot of more boyfriends to get even an ounce of that.
Ciara has sold over 25 million records and has 8 top 10 hits. Pretty good for a “flop”? Kiii seethe Markesha… P.s. ill be joining the HIVE soon.
KIII AT YOU CELEBRATING 25 MIL WW. ASHANTI HAS SEEN THAT # AND SHE QUIT MAKING MUSIC IN 04 BESIDE TWO FLOPS (ONE OF WHICH IS INDEPENDENT & OUTSOLD JACKO). HE’S A FLOP. GET OVER IT
I don’t remember inviting the help into my reply section.
Let’s take a moment to laugh Rebel heart to this date has sold 201k copies lol (: Janet weakest album did that nearly in its first week…. Madonna is the one that’s done child boo
NOT IN THIS LIFETIME! Madonna is the Queen. She’s sold post 2001 & has had #1 WW hits, acclaim, and some of the highest grossing tours in the world. Rebel Heart still sold 700k ww. I bet Janet won’t even see that after two months. She’ll probably try to tour overseas and cancel bc of “migraines” KIIIII
25 million records? In the singles age? She’s only a year older (career wise) than Rihanna, so 175M Vs 23. Hahahahahahaha, Aaliyah sold more in the past 10 years.
Rihanna hasn’t sold 175 million records stop. Im proud of Ciaras numbers ki
She was at 150 like 3 years ago. You think sh haven’t sold any since than? You’re stupid id you think Rihanna haven’t sold 25 million records since 2012.
Where is Dance Like I Didn’t Just Sell Less Than 20K on the chart?
QUEEN MOTHA!!!! And come right on in and push through trolls bc I’m ready bishes… #Headswillroll
@Musty-Mouthy-Molly, no one on this site uses you. You’re the original ass-kisser; and kiiiii not you saying you’re about to become HIVE! Kiiiiiiii a REAL Stan sticks by their fave no matter what. Now go take those Glutathione pills and oxidize the remaining pigment in your body so you can erase that self-hatred, only with the little pigment and processed hair you possess.
Kisses ????
“and kiiiii not you saying you’re about to become HIVE! Kiiiiiiii a REAL Stan sticks by their fave no matter what.”
LMFAO!!! The self drag! Didn’t you let Centurion, Mark111/KeriQween, and LB kick you outta the navy? Bitchhh you can’t tell me shittt about sticking with my fav when you couldn’t stick with Rihanna for over 3weeks.
The hive disowned you don’t forget you were crying in my dms cause Tyler and Slay_hive don’t write you anymore lol you’re a joke bitchhh like legit stop mentioning me you wack ho….
Mariah has done & did things vocally that no other woman has. Save that studio shyt, cause that ain’t her thing. You STAN for chicks that have less than one octave. Know your place. Mariah >. Good for Janet though..
Whitney Celine Lea michelle idina mendaz say hi ….bye Felicia
KIIIII!!!!! DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY LEA MICHELLE IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS WHITNEY HOUSTON AND THE GREATS? I CAN NOT!
Lea Michelle has one of the best voices of the mordern era ….don’t discredit her because she is young.
She Better go back to the al quada she is married to ….her music sucks.
You are a racist f***. Be gone.
Janet is ugly inside and out
Janet back on the hot 100… let the haters hate. She not even really trying. Now that’s a Legend
This is an impressive jump back into the charts which really speaks volumes when hardly anyone is really giving her credit for anything she does. I’m happy for Janet and so far is having great success on radio.
So what’s the drag?
Most Urban AC songs don’t chart anymore, who cares, they end up selling more albums than a Silento or WALK THE MOON (see: Jill Scott & Tyrese both going #1 in the last month with NO pop radio airplay or hits).

Your tone seems very pointed right now.
YESSES QUEEEN!!! SLAY your R&B song on them R&B charts. HATERS know they wish there fav was ruling a CHART somewhere on this earth, I know you all ain’t laughing cause the POP or Hot 100 charts aren’t embracing the song in case you all forgot the song is strictly for the R&B charts and YESSS she is murderingall ACROSS the R&B formats. BLOOPADOOP!
Those numbers are EXCELLENT!
Now if that’s not what I call an impact in music I don’t know what is.
1. Janet stayed out of the limelight since 2012 she did her last tour in 2011 which was The Up close and personal tour.
2. Took care of business by expanding her brand.
3. Allowed her fans to miss her while gone.
4. Came back received a made up award from BET just so she can make an appearance cause let’s face it no one else is getting that award only other person I can think of that can receive such a prestigious honor like that is Michael.
5. Have a sold out tour in the United States.
6. Release the actual version of No Sleeep feat. J Cole that dominates the R&B charts with no promo.
7. And lastly it all started on her birthday with an announcement that she’s ready and heard her fans pleas for her to come back which had everyone buzzing with just that announcement.
And to think she didn’t have to give you look at me look at me photos of her,not coming out with an album every year or two, no selfies, not being at a high end restaurant where paparazzi lurks and stalks your every move, no kissing Drake in the mouth for cheap controversy nada she just stayed true to the same ole Janet I guess if it ain’t broke then why try to fix it that’s what I call impact.
Hahahahahahahahaha I can’t @Dance Like A Baby Mama setting it’s manly toe on #100 on the BB100 then tanking. Kiii Flopara should just call it a day and join husbands of Hollywood.
It’s her first release in 7 years yet she couldn’t crack the top 60. Yeah that’s underwhelming. 🙁
She already cracked the top 30 tho.
“She sold more because she dropped an album almost every year in the 90s.”
———————————————–
That’s a p*** poor excuse as to why Mariah outsold Janet Jackson. Truth be told, Music Box on a certifications level (REAL SALES NOT BASED ON LABEL INFLATIONS/ESTIMATIONS) outsold HALF of Janet’s albums (GLOBALLY) put TOGETHER! Janet released & has been releasing albums since 1982. She actually has more FLOP albums, than actual successful ones.
Mariah Carey did what most VOCALIST do in their careers. USE THIER VOICES & record as much as possible in their primes. Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion etc… Were ALL releasing albums EVERY SINGLE YEAR & sometimes even releasing 2-3 albums per year.
.
.
You can easily take out “Rainbow, Butterfly, Emotions, Merry Christmas & #1’s”… And, Mariah’s record sales would STILL be higher than Janet’s (in the 1990s). So, that’s a lie. And, the only reason she was second to MC (only due to SINGLES chart success). Is because, Miss Jackson was releasing 6-9 singles per albums. While Tommy, STOPPED many singles from Mariah’s albums from becoming smash hits. Due to him, wanting to further her ALBUM sales.
Let me school you right quick. Janet is not a “look at me I’m great” type of artist and does not search for certifications or accolades. I love Mariah Carey but some of her albums over certified for shipments and not sales but this is because of her label’s bragging rights. Study a little more and you can learn. Actually all of the top divas have been certified for shipments and not sales so it appears that they sold more than they actually have. Even Usher’s Confessions didn’t sell over 10 million but it is certified Diamond. Janet’s labels A&M and Virgin Records did not do this. Music Box only sold over 7 million in the US but it certified Diamond. Daydream sold 7.6 million and it is Diamond. Rhythm Nation has sold 9.5 million yet is not certified Diamond and should be. The janet. album has sold over 8 million and it is capable of being Diamond when adding in shipments. So technically, Janet Jackson has 2 Diamond albums in her catalog. So don’t come for Queen Janet Jackson unless you are ready. Yes Mariah has sold more than Janet but she also released a whole lot more. Every Janet album since Control has been certified so I don’t know where you get that she has flopped more than done well. That’s lies. Even Discipline and 20 YO are Gold sweetie. Know what you are talking about and if you don’t know what you are talking about, then stfu. Thanks.
This is great for a single that hasn’t been performed live or promoted that hard. The 40+ divas in this decade aren’t going to be racing into the top 10 on the Hot 100, so I don’t know why people insist on being so unrealistic. In this group of women, JLO’s ‘On the Floor’ is still the single that came closest to reaching #1 (in the 10’s). Janet sure doesn’t need this song to do so, it certainly doesn’t make or break her. She has 10 #1’s and only EIGHT artists have more. I mainly look forward to that album drop and the tour! ‘No Sleep’ is doing all that I need it to, although I do anticipate that dance follow-up single.
“Janet is in the fight of Queen of Pop, Mariah is the studio vocalist that’s always second to Whitney, even tho she’s not even on Beyoncé level of singing.”
———————————–
1.) Janet Jackson was NEVER nor could she EVER be in the fight of “Queen Of Pop”. Granted, her catalog was/is great (even tho it’s mostly R&B music). But, Janet’s global selling power & consistent levels (of monster success) were not of a “Queen of Pop” level. Madonna was & will ALWAYS be the “Queen Of Pop”. She proved that in the 1980s. And, solidified that “Queen Of Pop” status in the 2000s… Being the ONLY Pop act EVER, to be able to have monstrous success in their 40s… As they were, during their prime years. Madonna is the Queen Of Pop, period.
.
.
2.) Mariah Carey was NOT a studio vocalist. Every note hit in the studio, was duplicated on a LIVE basis on multiple occasions, period. So, you sound like a broken bitter record… Keep on pushing that “Mariah Carey can’t sing live” agenda. Whitney Houston was a natural POWER HOUSE vocalist, Mariah Carey wasn’t. Mariah was a light-lyric soprano. Whom, developed excellent resonance clarity in her upper chest belts. Which created the illusion of her being a “powerhouse vocalist”. In reality, Mariah was a stronger version of Minnie Reperton.
.
Celine Dion, Lisa Fischer, Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin etc… >>>> than just being a phenomenal live singing act tbh… Sure, its great for the fans but Whitney wasn’t doing nothing different (vocally speaking) than any other southern Baptist church vocalist wasn’t doing every Sunday. Mariah was & will always simply be more talented than Whitney ever was, period. They shouldn’t have been compared in the first place. Celine Dion was the one. Celine Dion was the white version of Whitney. Celine Dion was the one using Whitney’s formula. Celine Dion was the one with that cheer raw lung LIVE singing power of a Whitney. Celine Dion, Celine Dion, CELINE DION! Not, Mariah Carey!
David/Sam deleted some very important facts in this comment. I typed more after the “Celine Dion, Lisa Fischer, Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin etc…” part… But, it was deleted. Smh… Y’all shouldn’t do that, just cause you disagree with a commentators opinion.
Im glad you mentioned Lisa Fiscer.She is my all time favorite vocalist!! Her voice was something serious
J. Cole really brought life into this song! It’s good and catchy but was just in need of some more umph and he brought it.
I prefer solo version to the J.Cole assisted one.Whatever this song achieves on the charts is just bonus.Anyone expecting a Party Rock Anthem/Uptown Funk sized hit with No Sleeep is either delusiional or just plain stupid…Go Janet
Personally this song does nothing for me. I don’t believe her distributor is looking for major sales. I believe her team is focusing more on the tour. On another note let’s not act like this song is not underperforming with Janet being gone musically almost a decade the anticipation has been very high and the response has been not that great hopefully the album will be worth the wait.
Biitch shut up
Janet Jackson is so overrated, she could never sing and her dancing isn’t that impressive. She will forever live in the shadow of her vastly more talented brother Michael Jackson.
