Janet Jackson

biography:
Janet Damita Jo Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actress. Known for a series of sonically innovative, socially conscious and sexually provocative records, as  well as elaborate stage shows, television and film roles, she has been a  prominent figure in popular culture for over 30 years. The youngest  child of the Jackson family, she began her career with the variety television series The Jacksons in 1976 and went on to appear in other television shows throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, including Good Times and Fame.

After signing a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982, she became a pop icon following the release of her third studio album Control (1986). Her collaborations with record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis incorporated elements of rhythm and blues, funk, disco, rap, and industrial beats, which led to crossover success in popular music.  In addition to receiving recognition for the innovation in her records,  choreography, music videos, and prominence on radio airplay and MTV, she was acknowledged as a role model for her socially conscious lyrics.

In 1991 she signed the first of two record-breaking, multimillion-dollar contracts with Virgin Records, establishing her as one of the highest paid artists in the industry. Her debut album under the label, Janet (1993), saw her develop a public image as a sex symbol as she began to explore sexuality in her work. That same year, she appeared in her first starring film role in Poetic Justice;  since then she has continued to act in feature films. By the end of the  1990s, she was named the second most successful recording artist of the  decade. The release of her seventh studio album All for You (2001) coincided with a celebration of her impact on popular music as the inaugural MTV Icon. After parting ways with Virgin she released her tenth studio album Discipline (2008), her first and only album with Island Records. In 2015 she partnered with BMG Rights Management to launch her own record label, Rhythm Nation.

Having sold over 160 million records, she is ranked as one of the best-selling artists in the history of contemporary music. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) lists her as the eleventh best-selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums. She has amassed an extensive catalog, with singles such as "Nasty", "Rhythm Nation", "That's the Way Love Goes", "Together Again" and "All for You" among her signature songs; she holds the record for the most consecutive top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by a female artist with 18. In 2008 Billboard  magazine released its list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, placing  her at number seven, while in 2010, ranking her fifth among the "Top 50  R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years". One of the world's most awarded  artists, her longevity, records and achievements reflect her influence  in shaping and redefining the scope of popular music. She has been cited  as an inspiration among numerous performers.

biography:
Janet Damita Jo Jackson ist eine US-amerikanische Sängerin, Songwriterin, Tänzerin und Schauspielerin. Als jüngstes Kind der Jackson-Familie begann sie ihre Karriere 1976 mit der Fernsehshow „The Jacksons“ und wirkte in den 1970er und frühen 1980er Jahren in weiteren Fernsehsendungen mit, darunter „Good Times“ und „Fame“.

Nachdem sie 1982 einen Plattenvertrag bei A&M Records unterzeichnet hatte, avancierte sie mit ihrem dritten Studioalbum „Control“ (1986) zur Pop-Ikone. Ihre Zusammenarbeit mit den Produzenten Jimmy Jam und Terry Lewis, die Elemente aus Rhythm and Blues, Funk, Disco, Rap und Industrial Beats vereinten, führte zu ihrem Crossover-Erfolg in der Popmusik.

1991 unterzeichnete sie den ersten von zwei millionenschweren Verträgen mit Virgin Records und etablierte sich damit als eine der bestbezahlten Künstlerinnen der Branche. Ihr Debütalbum bei dem Label, „Janet“ (1993), festigte ihr Image als Sexsymbol, da sie begann, Sexualität in ihren Werken zu thematisieren. Im selben Jahr spielte sie ihre erste Hauptrolle in dem Film „Poetic Justice“; seitdem ist sie weiterhin in Spielfilmen zu sehen. Ende der 1990er-Jahre wurde sie zur zweiterfolgreichsten Musikerin nach Madonna des Jahrzehnts gekürt. Die Veröffentlichung ihres siebten Studioalbums „All for You“ (2001) fiel mit der Würdigung ihres Einflusses auf die Popmusik zusammen.
