Upon entering the Janet Jackson discography - I have noticed that someone drastically altered her chart positions and in spite left false information. I have tried to fix the discography to the best of my ability. I hope someone can help fix the tables back to their original state.

The album sales seem to be inflated. 69.249.114.154 22:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed a problem with the Hot 100 Singles chart for Janet Jackson. Scream was #1 single for Michael and Janet Jackson. It debuted at #1 and quickly faded from the chart. The second problem is that the single, If, peaked #2. I have looked at my old Billboard magazines and found that these two singles peaked at #1 and #2, respectively.

Don't know what Billboard youre looking at, but "Scream" debuted (and peaked) at #5 on Hot 100. This confirmed by back issues I have and also an archive search on billboard.biz. You have made these types of incorrect changes with other discogrphies too. Based on above comment I am going to run through this and double-check everything. -- eo 18:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Un-cited and unreliable sales information

The discography currently contains a lot of information that is un-sourced and needs verification (see Wikipedia:Verifiability). I've just finished tidying up the discography and I removed sales information relating to singles simply because its clear its wrong, and its un-cited. As for albums, I left the figures up there at the moment and placed a cite tag ([citation needed]) on them. The figures need to be verified or else they have to be removed. Fan sites and other personal websites are not generally seen as reliable (as fans always - without exception in my experience - inflate the figures). Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources for further assistance.

I will leave the album sales up until the end of April - that should give ample time for a reliable and verifiable source to be found. If not, I'll remove the sales information until a reliable source can be established. Rimmers 03:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just removed all the unsourced sales information as no one has been able to provide verifiable or reliable sources for the claims. Rimmers 12:08, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Rhythm Nation and Control did not sell the same!

  • WORLDWIDE, they did, but in the US, Rhythm Nation 1814 sold 1 million more.

'Weekend' is not the new single!!

Janet's official website has confirmed that the song is not the new single, nor will it feature on the new album. Its just a 'taster' of whats to come. The first single will be called "Call on Me". See www.janetjackson.comRimmers 19:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I think it's stupid to say that both Control and Rhythm Nation 1814 sold 14 million copies each. This is an idea of what the old discography looked like

Control - 14 million copies sold (5.2 million US) Control: The Remixes - 1.5 million copies sold Rhythm Nation 1814 - 19 million copies sold (6.4 million US) Janet. - 22 million copies sold (7.8 million US) Janet.Remixes - 1.5 million copies sold The Velvet Rope - 11.5 million copies sold (4.1 million US) All for You - 7.5 million copies sold (3.1 million US) Damita Jo - 3 million copies sold (1 million US)
