With her eponymous tell-all Lifetime documentary, Janet Jackson is taking control of her narrative like never before – putting longstanding rumors to rest and telling the truest side of one of the most celebrated stories in Pop music history.
As fans new and old (affectionately called the #JanFam) get acquainted with the diva in brand new ways, the two-part doc – which aired Friday (January 28) and Saturday (January 29) – has also encouraged them to get reacquainted with her iconic catalog.
The result? Miss Jackson can be found in control of real-time sales tallies and rising on streaming outlets.
As social media sends the Pop icon’s name to the top of trending lists in response to the shocking revelations loaded in her Lifetime documentary, the four-hour TV event – peppered with snippets of some of her greatest hits – has also helped launch the youngest Jackson’s name to the top of music sales lists.
A view of the real-time iTunes Pop sales chart sees Janet occupying multiple spots in the top 10, including the #1 slot with her 1986 breakthrough album ‘Control.’

Yaaaaaaaaaas Queen Janet! 👑
Yaaaaaaaaas 👑🤳🏽💋
And the girls had been tryna pass the queen off as some b lister who didn’t change the landscape of pop n rnb chile
Sayyyyy that!!! When she is the blueprint for sooo many
Rhythm Nation 1814 is a masterpiece!!!!! 💕 💯
That s*** was magical 👏👏
I can’t believe y’all didn’t post about Janet and Justin are still good friends 💅🏾 It was a set up and Justin got all the blame. Not fair! Janet, you need to come clean!
She won’t black people love playing the victim card, without it they have nothing.
We still not supporting Justin Timberfail. Janet being political and playing nice doesn’t change how we feel. My stance remains the same. He needs to be cancelled first.
Keep on dreaming 🤣
Not too much of a dream based on old man’s superbowel performance q**** q**** lol. if janet fans can’t do it britneys will try
Janet should keep her tacky ways and go back to her stripper days. Justin doesn’t need the support of the black community as they don’t buy cd’s they steal them and most don’t have internet access to even stream his music.
LMAO @ Unfancy Fish. I usually ignore you like your parents do. You’re just a cowardly racist on a falling blog site. Probably got beat down by those same black people you hold so much hate for.
Some of y’all just a little slow. I’m done teasing you cause you’re clearly on the spectrum and that would be rude of me to say anything negative
Ok, Dr J…
She’s a flop. Look at that botched nose. Her face looks terrible.
Black excellence 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s a shame the documentary didn’t discuss Janet’s nose job 💅🏾 That lil Kim nose is identical😂🤣🤣😂
Iconic!
Go Miss Jackson if ya Nasty. 👄
I am so happy she is getting ger shine!
