QuoteControl has been honored by several music publication in recognition of its impact on the recording industry, including "Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of the Eighties"
Q magazine's "100 Women Who Rock The World", Slant Magazine's "Vital Pop: 50 Essential Pop Albums",and "Best Albums of the '80s"
Vibe magazine's "100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century" and "The Unfaceable 51", and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "The Definitive 200: Top 200 Albums of All-Time".

The Guardian described the album's release as one of the 50 key events in the history of R&B and hip hop. Upon the 30th anniversary of the album's release, Julian Kimble of Billboard magazine wrote: "In hindsight, Control is both evolutionary and revolutionary. As Jackson?s first album to land atop the Billboard 200, it marked professional and personal breakthroughs. Distancing herself from the immense Jackson family shadow, she created one of the most influential projects across contemporary R&B and pop music. And not only was Jackson?s maiden voyage with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the forefront of R&B, pop and hip-hop?s intersection, it birthed a novel sound in the process."

MTV's Meaghan Garvey asserted "it?s hard to overstate the significance of Control, whether in terms of the pop landscape, the evolution of the music video as a vessel for promotion and expression, or Top 40 feminist anthems." She also argued "it?s important to note that Control?s self-actualization anthems were expressions of black female pride. Control spawned a whopping six videos?great ones, at that?which played an immeasurable role in the shift toward visible black pop."

Gerrick D. Kennedy of Los Angeles Times wrote that Jackson's continued influence is evident in the careers of Rihanna, Beyonce, Ciara, FKA Twigs and Tinashe in that "all of them take cues from Jackson's blueprint. And all that began with 'Control'."


This impact
And this was only the breakthrough album  :plzstop:

CHOKE

QuoteJanet Jackson postponed several European tour dates because poor ticket sales meant she was "about to badly flop", according to reports.

The singer announced this week (08Mar16) that she would be postponing all her U.K. dates of her Unbreakable World Tour, along with some concerts in mainland Europe. However, the news that ticket holders were being given refunds led to the assumption the shows have been cancelled rather than just rescheduled.

Rickets is a condition that affects bone development in children. It causes the bones to become soft and weak, which can lead to bone deformities.

Quote"She was about to flop, badly. When an artist cancels an entire leg or postpones pieces of the tour, the real reason is because they?re not selling,? the source said, adding, ?It?s better to cancel than play a room that?s half-filled, especially if you?re Janet Jackson"

QuoteShe's not had an album out for almost three years and her last two singles failed to make the Top Ten.So it's little wonder her record label bosses are starting to worry about the success of Beyonc?'s upcoming new album.
Reports today have claimed that executives at Columbia
