Janet Jackson

Janet Damita Jo Jackson, better known as Janet Jackson or just Janet is an American born (May 16) singer and actress. She is a member of the Jackson family but is very much an icon in her own right. During the 90s, she had 6 US #1s with "Escapade", "Black Cat", "Love will never do", "That's the way love goes", "Again" and "Together again". "Rhythm Nation", "Alright", "If", "Got til it's gone", "Go deep" were also US Dance #1s. "I get lonely" was another song to reach #1 but on the UK dance chart. I the UK, she had 22 Top 20 hits, of which half of those were Top 10 but alas no UK#1. Although her album "Janet" was UK#1 on the album chart.
