Janet Jackson’s ‘Unbreakable’ Blasts Into iTunes Top 10…Before Release!

janet-unbreakable-press-thatgrapejuice

Pop deity Janet Jackson is showing and proving that her name still commands ample power.

Buzz has encased her comeback effort ‘Unbreakable’ and it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the masses are willing to spend on the returning diva.

Details below…

Within 24 hours of going up for pre-order, the songbird’s eleventh LP leaped into the top 10 of the iTunes US tally.

As at writing, the set sits at #9 of the digital retailer, having reached as high as #5 previously.

It marks a strong start for the project, which reunites Jackson with longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Debut numbers are expected to be healthy for the album upon its October 2nd arrival. For, beyond its current standing on the Apple platform, the star smartly offered pre-sale tour ticket access to fans who pre-ordered ‘Unbreakable.’ Similarly, unique VIP experiences are available to tour attendees. Again, a wholly smart move giving the 49-year-old’s clear touring focus.

    Anyone can get into the iTunes top 10 though… Even random Youtubers do it.

    • thegayngler September 4, 2015

      I am thrilled TBQH! It’s true random youtubers can get into iTunes. The jury is still out as to how successful this album will be. However, this is a respectable start.

    Great Marketing, classy video, Age-appropriate swag. Looks great. Chill song. Janet can do no wrong.

    She has maintained her swag. The unbreakable is ok, not great. But No Sleep is fire.

    Mariah could have had this moment if she had released FADED her only radio friendly song but she off chasing butterflies.

    • concitu September 5, 2015

      WTF “Faded” SUCKS. Wackest track of the last album

      • Citi September 5, 2015

        That’s your opinion but Faded is the fan favorite off that album. I plate that jaunt on repeat. Back to Janet, I hope she can achieve a number one album.

  3. Jud0789 September 4, 2015

  5. Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans September 4, 2015

    Of course this is expected for the queen! Only two songs from my past can get me naughty and hot: Janet’s “Would You Mind?” and Mariah’s “Babydoll”.

  6. JAY JAY September 4, 2015

    • Kay for tonibraxton September 4, 2015

      TGJ won’t bring that news to us, but keep dwelling on some other artist. Congrats to my girl Toni Braxton. I’m happy for Janet too.. nice comeback

    • Royalkev September 4, 2015

      Nice! It’s a great album!

  9. S****** Blonde September 4, 2015

    The star smartly offered pre-sale tour ticket access to fans who pre-ordered ‘Unbreakable.’ Similarly, unique VIP experiences are available to tour attendees. Again, a wholly smart move giving the 49-year-old’s clear touring focus.

    The hypocrisy.

    • OMG Logic!!! September 4, 2015

      God forbid Madge do it because that means she’s a desperate has been.

      • PeaceMaker September 4, 2015

        Like Kissing Drake wasn’t Desperate. Try Again!

      • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) September 5, 2015

        She is.

    • Mark111 September 4, 2015

      Not trying to beef with you, “but offered pre-sale tour ticket access to fans who pre-ordered ‘Unbreakable.” ACCESS to PRE-sale tour tickets is not the same as BUNDLING your album to your tour tickets. Night and day.

      • Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans September 4, 2015

        Mark111, yes! Please let it know the truth! Bundlind is something very different!

      • Ropeburn September 4, 2015

        EXACTLY! I had already pre-ordered Madonna’s CD so I didn’t appreciate being FORCED to pay extra for a digital copy of her album when I bought concert tickets just because that bish wanted to pad her sales numbers. Janet is offering access to early concert ticket sales if you pre-order her album from the website. S****** Bleach Blonde doesn’t seem to understand the difference.

    • Lea September 5, 2015

      @S******, guh shut up!

  10. Royalkev September 4, 2015

    Janet will be fine! I’m not worried about the numbers at all. She’s off to a great start with the tour and album. The music sounds strong! This era will be a special one.

    • Spunkypoop September 4, 2015

      AMEN

    • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) September 5, 2015

      What r u talkn about? Her numbers r good

  11. Mark111 September 4, 2015

    I was going to be like “Janet still got it, meanwhile a chick 15 years younger is stiff and dry.” But Britney is getting better and almost BACK as well. And I know what it is, SHOES!!!!! Dancers need to have on sneakers, not hills. Only TWO women that can kills it in heels, Tina and Beyonce.
    .
    Back to Janet, get those sales anyway you can, we the fans aren’t worried about it. I’m just glad that she’s back and is making great music. Oh and acting her age, being mature and a woman. Unlike Grandonna and Mooriah, thinking their 20 still.

    • Stephy September 4, 2015

      That shitttt wasn’t nothing. Gosh, your taste in music/artist is TRASH!

      • Mark111 September 5, 2015

        You’re crazy. She’s about 95% back to the Brit we all knew. I was shock that she’s dancing well again. But you stan for MooMoo, can’t sing nor dance. Why would I go see a fatty stand in on spot lipping a catalog of music that she had to eff her already married sugar daddy for?

      • Stephy September 5, 2015

        Shut yo burnt black ass up! That brain dead sheep w**** b**** ain’t s***! She lips her ENTIRE show & does the most basic played out dance moves in history. That corny by default s*** was beyond WEAK. And, you actually praise & compare this s*** to Janet? Take this 1,000th L… MARKESHA!

    • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) September 5, 2015

      You joking right?? Thissss was a fu ckn mess love. That 3rd grade choreography, those stiff ass moves honey she not even a 3rd rate Janet…she a NO rate wanna try to b black trailor park honky talk white girl who tried to dance black but is really trailor park trash with bad perfume on.

  12. @JanetCIARA_ September 4, 2015

    COME THROUGH MOM

  13. Gee September 4, 2015

    Can we please stop acting like Janet, Jam, and Lewis did not work together for over twenty years. Their only time not working together was the discipline era. Glad to see that the chemistry is still there but for me so far neither no sleeep nor unbreakable has grab my attention.

  14. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson September 4, 2015

    Lol the Janet Stans are pathethic. They will celebrate a flop song only charting for two weeks in local us and album that hit top 5 on iTunes. It’s not hard to crack the top 5, especially when you don’t have any competition.

    • A.Nefertari September 5, 2015

      B**** stfu ol stank ass h**, b**** shouldnt you be at the pound tryin to get your mother out? That b**** almost got hit by a car h**

  15. Tranet Ghost whisper jackson September 4, 2015

    I hope y’all have your excuses ready when tranet flops like she did with her last 3 albums

    • A.Nefertari September 5, 2015

      But b**** you flop at life everyday you will NEVER be on Janets level rejected roach face b****

  16. Theman September 4, 2015

    Stop bringing up Mariah. You hater. They have different styles. “Beautiful” “Thirsty” “Faded” & “You Don’t Know What To Do”, we’re all potential hits. They just didn’t set Mariah’s era up properly.

    • SCALPING THOTS September 5, 2015

      YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC. U GUYS KEEP BRINGING MARIAH UP ALL THE TIME, STOP ACTING LIKE PEOPLE AIN’T TIRED OF HER ASS. SHE RELEASED A MILLION SONGS & NONE OF THEM WAS SUCCESSFUL ON THE CHARTS ANYWHERE. TRIUMPHANT SUCKED. ALMOST HOME SUCKED. YOU’RE MINE SUCKED. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO SUCKED & THAT ONE SOUNDS LIKE MARIAH’S LIFE NOW. INFINITY SUCKED. ART OF LETTING GO SUCKED & THAT’S ANOTHER ONE SAYING EVERYTHING MARIAH NEEDS TO HEAR. IF IT WASN’T FOR MIGUEL YA’LL LAMBS WOULDN’T BE ALBE TO HOLD ON TO THAT ONE SONG NOBODY CARE ABOUT THAT GOT UP TO #15. MARIAH’S TRIED TO SET HERSELF UP OVER AND OVER, ELUSIVE STILL SOLD LESS THAN CIARA’S SELF TITLED. THERE’S NOT ONE PERSON FROM FROM BACK IN THE DAY THAT’S NOT IN BETTER SHAPE THAN MARIAH. TONI, CELINE, SADE, MARY J BLIGE, BRANDY, MONICA, FAITH EVANS, SWV, MADONNA, JANET RUN CIRCLES ROUND PIGLET.

  17. Rosie September 5, 2015

    That’s honestly really good for her, she’s what, 30+ years into her career. And her tour seems to be doing well. If the Super Bowl incident never happened I think she would be around the same level in touring as Cher, maybe rift underneath Madonna, in the U.S.

    In other news, without the hype of a massive hit single, blog “acclaim” and hype, and radio payola (unlike a certain artist who apparently “ended” Lana/Marina’s careers in 2013), Halsey’s debut album BADLANDS debuts at #2 with 97K! Really hoping it doesn’t drop a lot next week. I could see this album being the BTD of 2015/2016.

    • ANDREW September 5, 2015

      Death at What went down selling 6K but it’s Not a bad album overall.

      • Rosie September 5, 2015

        Expected. Holy Fire also sold 6K first week in the U.S.
        I’m more disappointed at it debuting at #3 in the UK though???? did it at least sell over 30K there? That would’ve been enough for #1 literally almost every other week this year.

    • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) September 5, 2015

      Boitch she above thise relic Cher and Madonna u mothafuckah

  18. Sandra September 5, 2015

    Janet isn’t exactly slaying. No Sleep was very local and her tour is only in small theater venues (5000 people per show). But I’m happy that she’s doing what she loves despite the commercial underperformance that she is having.

    • VelvetButterfly September 5, 2015

      What the hell are you talking about? Janet just did two packed end stage shows at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary and the Rexall Place in Edmonton. Those are ARENAS. As large as those shows were, they still will not compare to the huge show she is gonna do at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. You must be very stupid if you think somebody like Janet Jackson has to resort to theatres on any tour she decides to pursue. A woman who has packed arenas and stadiums all over the globe throughout her career. Please shut up and stop embarrassing yourself.

      • Sandra September 5, 2015

        OK so she’s playing some arenas but mostly smaller venues.
        Her 2011 Number Ones tour she played small theatres and even parking lots (and still couldn’t sell out) and her Rock Withchu tour was cancelled due to poor ticket sales
        Let’s not pretend Janet has been a touring force the past decade.

      • VelvetButterfly September 5, 2015

        Has it ever occurred that she did smaller shows then because she chose to and not because she has to? Let’s try to stay in the present. She is not playing mostly smaller venues. You’re blatantly lying. She is playing arenas with a few smaller venues mixed in. Even when she is playing smaller venues, she sold them out so fast that she had to double or triple up. I can think of about 7 arenas off the top of my head that she has already sold out in the US and she is still in Canada. A little info for your tiny brain….[LA arena sold out 15,000+], [Houston arena sold out], [Dallas arena resale only], [DC arena sold out], [San Francisco (2 shows sold out) 14,000], [Las Vegas ( 2 shows sold out) 14,000], [Chicago (3 shows sold out) 11,500], [Honolulu (3 shows sold out) 24,000+]…anymore questions? Not to mention the ones that will definitely sell out soon and especially in New England. Stop fabricating lies to fit what you want to happen.

  19. O September 5, 2015

    I was THRILLED for this new Janet record .
    BUT
    after hearing 3 songs
    watching the performance
    (and that plane art for the cd cover-ugly font!)
    —————–
    this is a BIG letdown
    —————–
    its very not inspiring
    its very -greatest hits- vibe
    not -I’m coming back m************-vibe

    the songs are just not good enough!
    you can say whatever you want but “nosleep” puts me to sleep
    and “unbreakable” sounds like a thank you note in the cd booklet – not a song!

    She’s Janet Jackson !
    how the f*** this is what we get from her after so long.
    its not even old fashioned its just ..boring.

    • A.Nefertari September 5, 2015

      b**** speak for yourself dont say “us” h** everybody dont co sign your opinion trick
