Janet is Struggling
Filed under: Rihanna > Janet Jackson
We think it's a killer song, but….
Janet Jackson's new single, Feedback, has failed to connect with the public.
The song failed to crack the top 30s on the singles' charts.
And, according to Soundscan, Feedback, dropped from #44 last week to #66 this week.
Sad.
On a brighter note, Rihanna continues to go from strength to strength.
RiRi's bangin' new single, Don't Stop The Music, jumps from #15 to #6 on this week's Soundscan charts.
You go, girl!

Sometimes when it's over, it's just over. Time to move on.
Re: Liam – POP 100, not HOT 100. Look at the damn Billboard charts before saying anything.
And the charts for the Pop 100 have Feedback for the week of Jan. 26 at #41, down from #38.
Um, THE SONG ALSO JUMPED FROM 72-38 ON THE CHARTS, SO IT IS DOING GOOD, IT JUST FELL IN THE SINGLES CHART, SO FUCK OFF
Is Janet not happy unless she is "poor Janet". Same thing with freaky-deaky Michael?
i'm luvin Feedback. the song's a hit in my book.
what's with the white hands??????
Perez, be real. Nothing against Janet but the primary reason her song is probably not doing that well is she's over the age of 40. Popstars over 40 don't do that well on the radio. She needs to forget about that and tour. Thats where they make the real money anyways.
I´m from Brazil and I LOVE FEEDBACK. It´s a very good dancing music. Actually, I really don´t know what goes through american people´s minds. There are a great deal of terrible songs on the top of the charts, like CRANK THAT, which HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED MORE THAN 3 MILLION TIMES.
she continues to go from strength to strength? how inarticulate
[re=1340572]Re: Lili[/r what are u a jealous little cunt! Dont hate on Janet you twat!
Re: not surprised – you are a dumb fuck just like justin. get a life u waste of semen
Re: anonymous – learn how to spell u dump fuck! dont fuck with janet asshole
Re: Feedback is boring – its about as boring as your comment dumb ass! feedback my foot up ur ass
sooo…i have never heard the Janet Jackson song on the radio for one…and for two Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" was out before her current "Hate that I Love yOu"…Soundscan Sucks!!
OLD NIGGA BITCH!
OLD NIGGA BITCH!
OLD NIGGA BITCH!
THIS OLD UGLY BALCK BITCH NEEDS TO RETIRE HER NO TALENTED ASS!!!!!!!
kind of hard to get people to buy records when there is no promotion. the only way i know she has a song out is from this website. she needs to at least get on some talk shows
Janet is about to start promoting. The song fell in the singles chart yet I find it convenient that Perez fails to mention any of the other charts where she is rising and continues to maintain her position. She's just gearing up to start going through the late night shows and daytime talk shows as well. Give her time! The song has only officially been out a few weeks. Sheesh. Aside from that the album has been getting positive reviews from the press who have been invited to the listening parties. Perhaps Perez is just a fat, old bitch because he wasn't invited? Hmm? Don't get it twisted pinky, I know you well and we both know you'll make shit up just to have something to write about on this site. So get over it!
As for the poster who likes to compare Madonna to Janet . . . if I sold out every other generation and changed my image to what was the most popular style of the moment I guess I'd be more likely to sell to the shallow masses too! Gosh, you're so stupid . . . get out of here . . . you don't even go here!!!! ^_^
I LOVED JANET AS A ACTRESS WHAT HAPPEND WITH THAT???
i actually like the tune but maybe janet should stop singing about periods in her songs, lol.
Cause both the song and video SUCK!
Can't wait for MADONNA's new single featuring Justin timberlake and Timberland "4 minutes to save the world"
MADONNA is the QUEEN.

Unfortunately Perez, this is not a true assesment. The song stats follow as such:
#1. Feedback is gaining in radio play every day on all formats.
#2. Sales of Feedback are picking up like crazy on i-tunes
#3. the video is #11 on i-tune video sales chart
#4. with only being on the chart for 3 weeks feedback is #38 billboard's on Pop 100 chart & in the top 50 on the Hot 100 singles chart *With a Bullet*
#5. The Feedback video just debuted today on TRL at #10
AND THIS IS ALL WITHOUT ONE SINGLE PERFORMANCE,COMMERCIAL, MAGAZINE, OR AWARD SHOW APPEARANCE.
Feedback is a bad song…that's whay it's not on the charts. No-brainer.
In related news, Franki Valli also is struggling to crack the top-30 chart.
I LOVE Janet!!!! But maybe it's time for her to give it up…. idk
With three consecutive flop albums, Janet has to retire now.
Correction: MADONNA's last album Confessions on a Dancefloor sold more than 10M and American Life has sold 6M.
yes !! ´m happy about this. i hate all of the damn jacksons clan.
fuck mchael and janet.
No more music anymore please.
RE: OPRAH if that is your real name??? You are such a retard, where does all this hate come from, you are an idiot, moran, asshole, devil's spawn, uneducated CUNT! that only knows racist words. Is that the only vocabulary you know? don,t worry about Janet or any other black artist out there, that feature on blogs. They are doing much better than you, at least they have money in their bank accounts what do you have? As for talent if being a racist counts then you win hands down don,t know what the deal is with your name it sounds pretty black to me, the only Oprah I know, is a rich eduacted sucessful black woman. Go back 2 the rock you crawled from.. Janet has more talent in her little finger than you have in your whole body!!!!!!!!!!!!

People, my dear people. Many of you are incredibly uninformed and misaligned to think a force like Janet is to be easily ignored, forgotten, dismissed or as you put it "over". How simple, HA! She has proven time and time again that she will continue to reign supreme in her genre and do what she does best. Never compare her to the likes of an unfit and unstable single mother who can't even manage her own weekly calender.
And do not try to counter her abundant talent against a 49 year old controversy magnet who could care SO MUCH less about your worthless a@#. Janet was and remains a gem. She's flawed- and made her mistakes as we all have- but do not underestimate her. "Feedback" is hot and the video requires a hightened level of understanding. Some of you CLEARLY do not inhabit this. Go back to worshipping your crotch exposing idols– all the while demonizing Janet for LESS.
She, Janet Jacskon, will march on without you. As she has done for decades. She remains the ONLY artist to produce 5 consecutive albums to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts. NO ONE HAS MATCHED THAT… EVER. Chew on that for a little while.
Maybe middle aged women with obvious face lists are no longer relevant? Lots of new talent coming in to take their place.
She's been around too long already. it's really time to hang it up. There is way too much younger people with great talent and young kids don't want to buy Janet's music. I don't even think they know who she is.
I hate to say this, I really love the song!! One problem,,,, sorry Perez, maybe you could talk with Janet's people, but the only place I have heard of this song is on your site!! Maybe Janet's team needs to do a little more marketing, not that your site isn't great Perez!!! I think she is awesome!!
Can,t think of a current talent out right now that has not been influenced by
Janet, Madonna, Mariah, Whitney Houston or even Kylie Minogues music they are all artists who are withstanding the test of time. I thought artistry was about conveying a message no matter what age U R so what happens to Britney, Beyonce,Christina Aguelleria, and Rhianna when they reach a certain age are they over to? Once the music is good it should not matter how old you are, power to Janet for doing her thang! She as well as previous artists mentioned have longetivity and I wish them all the best in their careers..
maybe if she showed her noon, smoked some crack, and pooped out some chillins then smoked more crack wilst driving down the street with her babys on her lap shed do better.
Man, this is bullshit! Where the fuck to you get your facts from. Janet's single jumpped from 72 to 38 on the Pop 100 Chart. Fuck all y'all hatin' ass crackas! And stop fucking bring up the Superbowl. Get over that shit already! Fucking Britney Spears can go around town in bad wigs with her pussy lips hanging out every other day and you mutherfuckers love that shit!
Janet, Janet, Janet…Just GO AWAY ALREADY. U had UR time but the 90's are over. U keep putting out all the same old tired crap. That's why U ain't selling.
Re: K. – Plain and simple: MANDONNA IS A TOTAL WASHED-OUT CUNT. THANK YOU FOR AGREEING. Y'ALL COME BACK NOW!
This is one of the hottest dance tracks I have heard in a long time. Keep making great music Janet!!!!
Here's a hint: "Something heavy like a first day period" is SO not a sexy lyric. Menstruation references just don't seem to be selling like hotcakes these days!
She should try and reinvent herself. Adopt a British accent, and a white child From Russia. With Love.
She's stunted mentally..and musically. Do her lyrics show ant growth for a woman her age? This last song sounds like a reject of Blackout.
feedback fell from 38 to 41 on the latest Pop100 charts. Ouch. I like janet, but if you keep eating chocolates everyday, you will get tired of it. its the same old song/dance routine from her. and for f****s sakes stop with the shy persona already. geesh. it was cute 15 years ago. you're old, get over it.
I think that the song was a good effort. The problem is Jermaine Dupri has mad Janet human. She is no longer a pop icon. She might as well work at one of Jermaine's strip joints in the ATL. The video was wack too.
Janet is tired and washed up. She hasn't grown as an artist at all. Her whisper/singing is annoying and no one cares anymore. It doesn't surprise me that it tanked. Boring song.
OUT WITH THE OLD (WOmen) AND IN WITH THE NEW (LADY) hollar! lol
lol
the whole problem is that Janet says "heavy like a first day period" honestly it ruins the whole song….whoever told her to leave that line in there should be fired. I've talked to a bunch of Janet lovers about the song and we all agree.
JANET YOU ROCK!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE A LEGEND! YOU ALREADY PROVED YOURSELF. WE LOVE YOU AND PEREZ.
Janet's song is great. Her career much longer than many in the entertainment game. The fact that she's still making music is a testament to her longevity. I find it interesting that we continually compare people - Madonna and Janet don't embody the same works… Totally different approaches to music. Madonna is great at what she does and so is Janet. Although I like……
WHAT?? this song is an awesome dance song…
FOR THE RECORD… BRITNEY DID MUCH BETTER!
