40 years ago today Janet Jackson released her album ‘Control’, asserting her independence as an artist.
The album was so successful that it landed at #6 on Billboard’s 1986 year-end chart AND #5 in 1987.
It became the first album by a female artist to have 5 singles peak in the Top 5, (doing so one month before Madonna did it with ‘True Blue’).

Nasty - #3
When I Think and You - #1
Control - #5
Let’s Wait Awhile - #2
The Pleasure Principle - #14
"If properly, successfully maturing in pop after a childhood in the spotlight is an artform, then Janet Jackson is Michelangelo and Control her statue of David."
