I had two things to say to my favorite artist of all-time: Record the single I heard some months ago while in her camp and consider #JanetSuperBowl25.
Janet received both and finally connected my name to my face. I can die a happy individual.
So excited to announce that global superstar, @JanetJackson - one of the world's most successful artists of all-time - will perform an exclusive UK show to open this year's @HeritageLiveGCE Festival at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, on Wednesday 19th Aug 2026, with very special guests @wyclef and @Soul2SoulUK ! 🔥💯

#JanetJackson is a pop and R&B powerhouse and one of the World's best-selling Artists of All time, having sold over 100 million records worldwide and cemented her status as one of music's all-time greats! She has shaped pop culture and inspired generations since her 1986 breakthrough Album 'Control' which spawned five Top 5 hits and made her a chart-dominating force in the industry! 'Rhythm Nation 1814', her 2nd consecutive Album to top the Billboard 200, is the only album in history with seven Top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100! Janet redefined success with socially conscious anthems, innovative choreography, and boundary-pushing visuals! Her self-titled 'janet' (1993) delivered massive global sales and smash hits like“That’s the Way Love Goes”! Janet holds the record for the most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by a female artist in history (18)! In 2008, Billboard placed the Icon 7th on its list of its Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, and in 2010 ranked her 5th among the "Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years"! In December 2016, Billboard named her the 2nd most successful dance club artist after Madonna! Her sound and choreography became a catalyst in the growth of MTV, enabling her to rise to prominence while breaking gender and racial barriers! Her song lyrics focus on social issues and she became a role model for young people!
Janet is the youngest child of the Jackson family, and debuted at the MGM Grand! She starred in the variety TV series 'The Jacksons' in 1976, and continued to star in TV programs in the 1970s and early 1980s, including the shows 'Good Times', 'Diff'rent Strokes', and 'Fame'. After signing with A&M Records in 1982, she became a pop icon with the release of her 3rd album 'Control' in 1986, followed by 'Rhythm Nation 1814' in 1989. In 1991, Jackson signed the first of 2 record-breaking multimillion dollar contracts with Virgin Records, establishing her as one of the highest-paid artists in the industry! Janet was also a very popular actress, starring in 'Poetic Justice' in 1993. Her next 2 studio albums 'Janet' (1993) and 'The Velvet Rope' (1997) made her a sex symbol. She was branded as one of the world's most erotic performers. At the end of the 1990s, Billboard magazine named her the 2nd most successful recording artist of the decade in the United States after Mariah Carey! Her 7th studio album 'All for You' in 2001 was released to coincide with a celebration of her impact on the recording industry as the subject of the inaugural MTV Icon special!
Janet is especially famous for incredible live shows. Her tenth concert tour, 'Together Again Tour' (2023–2024), became the highest-grossing tour of her career!
Janet has racked up 5 Grammys, 11 American Music Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards, 10 MTV VMAs, 8 Guinness World Records, a World Music Legend Award, an Academy Award nomination and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! In 2019, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Janet is a dedicated philanthropist who has channeled her success into impactful causes, focusing primarily on education, women's empowerment, and global health initiatives. Through her foundation, she has donated millions to build schools, support underprivileged communities, and fund medical research, consistently using her platform to drive meaningful social change worldwide.
I'm so grateful for the outpouring of love today. You have all made my 60th so special. Every single post, tribute, and wish touches my heart. I thank God for every additional day of life and for putting each of you in it. Wishing you all returned blessings & I look forward to seeing you soon.
I love you. ♥️ J
