a damn shame
guess she's was not as big as the other pop girls of her time like Madonna, Whitney, Mariah, Cydney Lauper

She doesn't even have as much views as r&b acts like Tony Braxton(Braxton also wipes the floor with her in sales) Beyonce or Monica.

even her biggest song in the 80s Rhythm Nation only sitting at 25 mill

were her classic songs just not as big as her peers or is youtube conspiring against her?

I was born in '90 so her prime was before my time. was she only popular with black folks in the 80s. I don't consider the late 90s early 00s her music prime.

Janet is a legend bruh... 80’s/90’s and even had moments in the 2000’s. I don’t feel like pulling up the sales, but I know she broke records. Velvet Rope was one of the game changers for Pop and R&B

:hhh: man why yall pay attention to this type of shyt?

lol, I can’t tolerate any Janet slander. People need to realize she wrote all her shyt too (for most of her career). Just her and J&T. And she constantly pushed the sound of music. Crazy to think I’ve lived thru MJ, Prince, Madonna, Whitney, Mariah, Janet and Cyndi——speaking in the pop space

Pretty shytty take don’t you think? She was a bigger artist than all those chics you named and sold more records and sold out concerts… Who cares if she don’t have 100 views on YouTube
she sold more records than Madonna? Whitney? Mariah? Toni?
Y'all forget that the Super Bowl scandal had her damn near blackballed...moving her out of the spotlight unlike the rest of them
it's not like the superbowl scandal erased her videos from youtube. her videos have been on youtube since the beginning of it's inceptions and yet her views doesn't match her peers. you can't blackball the audience from looking at her videos when it's been there for all to see. RKelly always stays in some shyt and yet he also has more youtube views on average

even Brandy has more view on average

I think part of it is that she is super low key and even in her prime was not a big self promoter...

Also her music leaned in adult contemporary, she didn't have the monster hits that got play across the board and stuck in the average listeners head....Her fans are mostly fans who appreciate the art from what I see...Their the most loyal but they don't have the #'s.

Pop Smoke got 12M views for sneaker shopping
12M people wanted to know Pop's opinion on sneakers

And people make that chappelle joke "But what is ja rule thinking"

Do people want to know what Ja Rule thinks about the next natural disaster?
I dunno but 12M wanted to know what Pop thinks about sneakers

Doesn’t really matter now that she’s pretty much been written out of modern history along with her brother :yeshrug:

I mean you could bring in some old head take but I doubt young kids even know who she is. And to a lesser extent I seriously doubt most elementary kids know who MJ is. They might’ve heard a song or two at the absolute most but visually couldn’t identity him.
