Janet Jackson Top 15 – By The Numbers
Janet Jackson is an icon, a legend, an all-time talent and an artist that deserves to be looked at as the inspiration and hit-maker that she is and has been for the last 3+ decades.
Honestly, in trying to write about her, it’s hard to choose the right descriptives because they either don’t feel like they are grand enough to get the point across or they sound too cliched to get the job done in earnest. Plainly said, she is a star. And we should all celebrate and remember that.
And because she has been a star for so long, shining brightly and giving music fans MASSIVE hits to love, we decided to do a little math and put together a Top 10 list of Janet Jackson songs based on Spotify and YouTube streams. But a funny thing happened while we were doing the work… 10 songs wasn’t enough.
We start these lists by looking at the 10 songs listed in the Popular songs list on an artist’s Spotify page. Then, we go to YouTube and count views on official videos (no live performances) of those songs. What we found though, is that there were songs on YouTube that were easily cracking the Top 10, without being included on the Spotify list we started from. So, we expanded the list!
This post’s playlist has a Janet Jackson Top 15 that includes four songs with other artists, gigantic #1 hits, fan favourites, and still doesn’t have some of her best known or most loved songs. It’s wild to think that Miss You Much, Nasty, and What Have You Done For Me Lately aren’t included – but don’t blame us, that’s the way the math worked out.
Scroll through the list. Stop and hit play on the songs you know and love. Get up and dance. And enjoy!
