Janet Jackson Tickets Information
1982 saw Janet Jackson releasing her first solo album, self-titled, and two years later came her second, “ Dream Street.” From there, a legend began to take form.

All five Janet Jackson albums after that - “Control,” “Rhythm Nation 1814,” “janet,” “The Velvet Rope,” and “All for You” peaked at # 1 on the U.S. charts. This gave her five consecutive #1 albums over the course of 15 years, setting the record for female recording artists, and keeping on the Billboard charts for an astonishing 446 weeks. Of those five albums alone, Janet Jackson sold 22 million copies, just in the United States.

The next two albums Janet released were not as successful, though they came quite close, with 2004’s “Damita Jo” and 2006’s “20 Y.O.,” both peaking at #2. All told, Janet Jackson has recorded 32 #1 hits.

Janet Jackson has also put out a couple of remix albums, a compilation, and four boxed sets.
