Janet Jackson: the key hits, Michael Jackson's baby sister announced a new album and world tour this weekend. This will mark the return of the pop star who had put her career on hold since her brother's death on June 25, 2009. Here is a look back at some of the songs and videos by the only member of the Jackson clan to find success independently of her illustrious brother.
"Nasty"
1986's "Control" album, and specifically the song "Nasty," marked Janet Jackson's arrival on the international music scene. An important work that allowed her to gain independence from the rest of the Jacksons, Rolling Stone magazine voted it 28th on its Top 100 of the 80s list.
"Got ‘Til It's Gone"
The youngest Jackson takes a trip into hip-hop territory with "Got ‘Til It's Gone," a break from the traditional 80s pop sound that her fans have grown accustomed to. Her album "The Velvet Rope," from which "Go Deep" was another hit, was a success and sold more than any other album that year, 1997.
"All For You"
Four years later, the diva returned to a more commercial style with "All For You." With the sweet sounds of the eponymous single and "Someone To Call My Lover," also on this album, Janet was once again queen of the charts and sold 600,000 units just in its first week, according to Billboard.
"Rock With You"
Released in 2008, the "Discipline" album, off of which came "Rock With You" and which was the singer's last record, eschewed R&B in favor of a new direction, that of electronic music.
