From Billboard.com
ARTIST: JANET JACKSON
SINGLE: MAKE ME (A&M/UMe)
Janet Jackson gave her late brother, Michael, two gifts in September. First, the singer paid tribute by performing their "Scream" duet at the MTV Video Music Awards; then she premiered the "Off the Wall"-inspired dance track "Make Me," now a single on her "Number Ones" album due November 17. Her most appealing and high-energy track since the 2001 "All for You," the song thumps aggressively, with a funky guitar lick driving the rhythm. Its nonstop vamp recalls "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough," as Jackson puts a new twist on that classic disco number's chorus. "Don't stop it baby, don't stop til you get it up ... Ain't nobody else like you/Only you got the moves you do." "Make Me" isn't just Jackson's best dance song in years -- it's a hit that would make her brother proud.

They are LYING. "So Excited" is much better than Make Me. Why does everyone act like all the singles from the past three albums were god awful? Have they actually listened to any of them?

I AGREE!
And there are a fair few awesome album tracks in there as well.
All Nite (Don't Stop), So Excited, Feedback, Rock With U are AWESOME jams. I am sorry but they are GREAT songs.

WAY TO GO JANET!
Although I like "Make Me," I still think that Feedback, Rock With U and Luv are all fantastic tracks and would have been smashes at Janet's peak!

^ Yea, it's kind of bizarre. I hope they post the official remixes for sale at iTunes. I love the DJ Dan mix and also the Ralphi Vocal Mix.

Yes the remixes to this song are great. I can't wait to see the music video and hope she incorporates the song Make Me into her 8 minute megamix :)

positively one of her hottest songs this decade - or ever. I strongly believe T*tgate and all those sh*t last several albums smacked down ANY hope of her getting anymore mainstream pop airplay and sales. If this came out right after All For You, she woulda most defintely gone #1 or close to it w/ this.

Janet's doing some radio spots this week to promot "# 1's". "Make Me" will likely get a few new spins....but not expecting much - lol

No it's not. So Excited was not a good record. I think I liked it at first but after like a week I hated it. I haven't wavered on my opinion of that song since then.

Which record label is she on now? A&M/Interscope Records is the label "Number Ones" is being released on. Right now Janet hasn't made an official statement regarding a new label. But she was recently spotted with Jimmy Iovine (CEO/President of Interscope Records).

Interscope seems to be the way to go now since most of the big artists out right now are on Interscope or Jive

Interscope seems to be the way to go now since most of the big artists out right now are on Interscope or Jive Janet will most likely not go to Jive Records. Jive is owned by Sony Music Entertainment and her brother Michael had a long public nasty legal battle with Sony.

Is this song still charting???? I think it will, after the ABC special with video premiere & AMA's. I can see iTunes selling this song like CRAZY!

I think it would take a miracle for this song to chart but stranger things have happened.
