I bought the Janet CD. It's good. But 178,000 copies for first place? Wow. That's low. Of course, the CD industry isn't what it used to be.

178,000 and you call that a success? Anyone that you don't like, you would be making fun of what a disaster that is.

I love how Britney's album is considered a failure when she moved more units in her opening weekend.
Tart says – reply to this

178,000 copies..it's unbelievable that gets you to number one these days, years ago you had to sell millions of copies to get to number one, the internet killed the music industry!
Ry says – reply to this

41

What I don't get is that she gets that number for the first week and Perez says that's good, and yet when Brit got 290,000 he says it sucks? What logic!

Jen says – reply to this

56

uhhh…. Janet came out with 20YO 2 years ago. I'm a real fan!!!
STUPID SHITNEY FANS says – reply to this

57

YOU SHITNEY FANS ARE AS DUMB AS YOUR DUMB ASS IDOL. YES, SHITNEY'S ALBUM WAS CONSIDERED A FLOP BECAUSE SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN IN THE FUCKING NEWS EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND GETTING MORE ATTENTION THAN ANY OTHER CELEBRITY SHOULD HAVE SOLD 2 MILLION ALBUMS IN ONE WEEK! BUT SHE DIDN'T, SO IT WAS A FLOP. GOT IT RETARDS?
HOW?!?! says – reply to this

58

HOW THE FUCK?!?! SHE MUST HAVE PAID TO MAKE SOUNDSCAN SAY THAT, I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST THESE RECORD COMPANY PEOPLE. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY. EVEN IF IT IS, THAT SHIT IS GONNA SINK TO THE BOTTOM NEXT WEEK. SHE SUCKS AND IS WASHED UP, GIVE IT UP!
Sarah says – reply to this

59

LOL 178k? That's all? You called Ms. Clarkson a "flop" and she sold over 200K in the first week? LOL talk about playing favorites fatass. That's why you'll never be credible.
Chad says – reply to this

60

I'm glad to hear it. When I saw the MP3 Album on Amazon.com for only $8.99 I bought that up in a second.
john says – reply to this

61

wow that sad britney sold morw for blackout and her album was number two
Carla says – reply to this

62

We know the numbers are from HitsDailydouble. But HDD aren't always off. They predicted that the album might sell around 180k, and it has sold less according to their chart. I highly doubt Discipline pushed 200k in it's first week. My guess is that it'll do about 185-190k.
santa cruz says – reply to this

63

WE LOVE YOU JANET!!!!!
Discpline is a disaster says – reply to this

64

Awwww. Poor Janet fans. They went out and bought a shit load of multiple copies, and Discipline won't even be hitting 200k. By it's second week, the album will take a sales decrease. It's really sad that Janet did all of this promo, and even had MTV backing her up, and the album that is suppose to help her career soar is turning out to be a disaster. Even Britney's last album performed better.
Nick says – reply to this

65

This is a great cd. Has traditional Janet sounds but with a Gwen Staffani twist. Lots of potential radio hits on this cd. You really should give it a shot, its only your ears that lose out if you don't!
DRB says – reply to this

66

She's #1, but those #s aren't good at all. As they decrease over the next few weeks, she will struggle to go gold.
Buck says – reply to this

67

178,000 copies sold is NOTHING. It was a slow week. Mariah, Madonna and then Leona Lewis will knock Janet right out of the top ten..
JIT says – reply to this

Just in time, brother Mike can use the cash…

Re: Congratulations! –

Idiot! Britney sold more than that her first day with NO promotion and while going insane!!! But she was considered a "failure"! What BS!
GIO says – reply to this

70

Thats a weak FIGURE!!! Holy crap 178…thats terrible, she won't even break 500..thats a low number to debut at #1
Uh... says – reply to this

71

After all that promotion, she only moved 180,000 copies? That's isn't good at all.
mel says – reply to this

72

she looks great!
jERMAINE says – reply to this

73

LET THE HATERS HATE!!!! JANETS #1…. HISTORICALLY, FEBUARY IS A SLOW SALES MONTH…PLUS THE REAL NUMBERS AREN'T RELEASED UNTIL TOMORROW… THESE #'S DO NOT INCLUDE HER SALES FROM I-TUNES, NOR HER SALES FROM ONLINE SALES LIKE AMAZON, OR OVERSTOCK….SO U HATERS CAN SUCK MY LONG BLACK D**K!LOL
I says – reply to this

74

I dunno why, but she's awesome and the way she bounces back is amazing. No one can really touch her, boob flash or not!
I Heart Janet says – reply to this

75

I need some Discipline!
I Heart Janet says – reply to this

76

Hey, I think my comment was deleted, I just love her!
the soviet says – reply to this

77

nice that you call kelly selling 300,000 copies a FAILURE but congratulate janet for 178,000 copies.

way to keep your standards, there, perez.
Carla says – reply to this

78

Re: jERMAINE – Since when does Amazon count towards the BB charts? It doesn't matter either way. Even when official numbers come it, Discipline won't even hit 200,000. HitsDailyDouble is not an accurate site, but their numbers are pretty damn close to the official numbers. That's ashame. Especially when Mariah's last album sold 403k in it's first week. Discipline won't see half of that.
gage kris says – reply to this

79

THE CD SUX
Carla says – reply to this

80

Plus, her second week sales will be even worse. Not to mention that when Mariah and Madge drop their album, Janet will be out the door, because it's all over after that.
You Janet fans need to stop pretending as if everything is ok when it isn't. Janet's album will be a disaster and it's not at all a good look. If this album tanks, then Janet should go into semi retirement from the music biz, have some kids, and make more movies.
Janet's a fatty says – reply to this

81

She looks like a store bought ham in that backless dress, not a good look on her. Too much flub.
JERMAINE says – reply to this

82

Re: Carla – SWEETIE AMAZON DOES REPORT TO SOUNDSCAN…PLUS SOUNDSCAN DID NOT RELEASE THIS FIGURE….HITS DAILY DID. AND AS I SAID FEB. IS HISTORIC FOR LESSER ALBUM SALES. JANET WILL BE JUST FINE. SHE SPREAD OUT HER PROMOS TO STAY ON TOP FOR MORE THAN A WEEK.
Carla the ho says – reply to this

83

Re: Carla –

Hey Carla, when you record an album and can sell over 178,000 copies, then you can talk. Until then, shut the fuck up bitch!

fuckk
Janet has 5 consecutive #1 albums from Controls ince, so no its not exactly 'something wrong' situation if she has one more you ass. But what do I expect from various pompous commentators who frequent Perez..
pixie says – reply to this

89

Must be a SLOW week! How can this B$@*!h end up #1?
DISCIPLINE is the JAM! says – reply to this

90

Congrats Janet! She deserves it.

Fuck all you HATERS. And for all you SHITNEY fans - remember she wouldn't exist if it weren't for female artists like Janet. Who cares how much she sells, at least Janet can get out and promote and perform her songs like a NORMAL person instead of a fucked up crack head piece of trash.

And for those of you who don't think 180K is respectable, here are some first week album sales and the position they debuted from other female artists:

FERGIE - The Dutchess - 158,000 #3
RIHANNA - Good Girl Gone Bad - 162,000 #2

So considering Janet is a 42 year old female who has been in the business for over 20 years, I think she's doing HER DAMN THING!!!

Look for Janet's new video for ROCK WITH U to premiere on BET tomorrow!!!

here in tampa…best buy & circuit city did evn stock the album until yesterday afternoon. So if this happen'd in other cities…. Then im sure her numbers will be even higher this week. I LUV U MS. JACKSON!
Uggh says – reply to this

Damn..I was hoping this album would tank too so that she would GOOOO AWAY. I HATE this no-talent, whistle-nosed, beeyootch
Carla says – reply to this

93

Re: Carla the ho – Go fuck your mama, douchebag. Discipline is a disaster and I'm 100% sure it's her core audience, and Def Jam who bought all of the copies. Lmao.
Zack says – reply to this

94

This album is sooo good!! Janet is AWESOME!! Fuck you haters
Janet is over says – reply to this

95

Re: Uggh – Don't worry. First week sales mean nothing. Once Discipline hits #1, it's gonna flop just the way her last two did. There is no hope for this album. Janet fans are just a bunch of delusional morons! And it's not like Janet had any good competition so of course it was gonna be an easy #1 for her. Duh.
