I predict the Chingy collab. I don't expect something from 20YO or Discipline to be out this early and I will cut bitches if it's "Come On, Get Up"

Sounds like a feature/collab. Feel It Boy or Don't Worry? I predict the Chingy collab. I don't expect something from 20YO or Discipline to be out this early and I will cut bitches if it's "Come On, Get Up" I'm so excited to announce the next reveal... Call on me if you want to know what it is... You can feel it boy, it's a good one... Don't worry about losing one of your faves..... Come on get up, and find out which song is out.... 73. "Don't Worry" (Chingy feat. Janet) from Powerballin' (2004) "Just me and you, we don't need nobody else" Average: 64.815 Standard Deviation: 9.923Released as the a promotional single from Chingy's album Powerballin', this song only charted on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart at #60. No music video was produced, and it seems largely forgotten in terms of Janet's discography. Personally, I had never heard the song before this countdown, and I honestly wouldn't care if I ever heard it again. It's not horrible, but it's completely unremarkable for me. Seeming to share my opinion are bat1990 , Glove Slap , †ealsünset , and Ky who also placed this song at the very bottom of their lists. Actually, the song really wasn't too popular with anyone here, the highest ranking being #40. 40 - Wavey✨️ 43 - fearlessarrow 49 - beyoncelover 52 - Caviar 58 - @phillippe 59 - Chelsea Press 2 59 - Active Aggressive 62 - #LisaRinna 63 - Unhinged 63 - Juanca 64 - aerodynamite 64 - weaver 64 - SHOOTER 66 - Albie 66 - andrewantonio 67 - Linnethia Monique 68 - frenchfry 73 - .indulgecountry 73 - Troublemaker 74 - God 74 - @antigonerising 74 - @mirza 75 - Baby Spice 75 - bat1990 75 - Glove Slap 75 - †ealsünset 75 - Ky Tagged: Mirago Leigh

If this RD taught me anything it's that Janet needs to get some better collaborations/features.

I accidentally ranked this higher than i should have. Me too. Pref revelator strikes again. For a moment I forgot who/what Chingy is/was. I thought it was some type of cheap sex toy you buy at the grocery store. :sip2:

Love and My Best Friend / Two To the Power of Love: First time I heard this stuff. No need to hear them again!! Don't Worry: A bit ridiculous but Janet elevates the song a lil bit Don't Mess... : Mmmmmm, funky and groovy Both Don't songs are a bit lower than I expected, especially as I consider the other remaining songs in my bottom 6 are just trash

71. "Start Anew" single release (1985) "Make my grey skies electric blue // Kiss these bad times goodbye // and let's start anew."
Average: 60.185 Standard Deviation: 15.748This song actually started out really strong with the first two voters (me and bat1990 ) scoring it in the 30's. Then the scores kept getting lower and lower and a slew of 75's started coming in. This song actually matched "Don't Worry" as the song with the most 75 rankings (five each). As cheesy as it is (isn't all her pre- Control material, though?), there's something about this song I just love. The song was originally intended for the Dream Street album, but it was left off. It then was released as a single in Japan exclusively, and it did not chart. If I wanted to possibly throw you off, I could have tried to convince you that we were losing a Control song here, considering this song was actually on the first Japanese pressing of Control. It was later removed from that edition (possibly at the request of the artist?), and the version of the album that includes this song is now rather hard to find. 11 - @mirza 33 - Baby Spice 37 - bat1990 42 - .indulgecountry 46 - fearlessarrow 47 - frenchfry 55 - Glove Slap 55 - Ky 56 - God 56 - †ealsünset 60 - andrewantonio 62 - Wavey✨️ 65 - beyoncelover 65 - @phillippe 67 - aerodynamite 68 - Juanca 69 - Albie 69 - @antigonerising 70 - Chelsea Press 2 70 - Troublemaker 73 - Unhinged 74 - SHOOTER 75 - #LisaRinna 75 - weaver 75 - Active Aggressive 75 - Linnethia Monique 75 - Caviar Tagged: Mirago Leigh

Fast Girls makes me want to gain 30 pounds so there's more of me to shake at the club.

Awww, I didn't think "Start Anew" would be that low. But I guess I'm in a small minority that loves it a lot - it was a nice bridge between Dream Street and Control and the chorus is just pure sunshine!

69. "Making Love in the Rain" (Herb Alpert with Lisa Keith and Janet Jackson)
from Keep Your Eye on Me (1984) "Every raindrop makes me think of you // there's nothing that I'd rather do." Average: 58.333 Standard Deviation: 16.397The second single from Herp Alpert's Keep Your Eye on Me to feature Janet on vocals, she plays a backup role on this recording, singing on the chorus and bridge, with Lisa Keith singing lead in the verses. The song did well on the R&B charts, peaking at #7, and it managed to reach the top 40 of the Hot 100 as well. Musically, this song is a quiet storm ballad, similar to many of Janet's own ballads. It reminds me the most of "Someday is Tonight", which is fitting, considering Herb Alpert plays on that song too. Listening to this song as I'm typing, I think I might have under-ranked this slightly, but I still think the song would have been much more interesting with Janet on full lead. 21 - Active Aggressive 21 - @antigonerising 29 - frenchfry 29 - †ealsünset 40 - Ky 50 - weaver 53 - Glove Slap 54 - bat1990 55 - Wavey✨️ 57 - Linnethia Monique 57 - @mirza 61 - Chelsea Press 2 65 - Unhinged 66 - #LisaRinna 66 - aerodynamite 66 - SHOOTER 67 - beyoncelover 67 - Caviar 69 - Baby Spice 70 - @phillippe 70 - .indulgecountry 71 - Albie 72 - Juanca 73 - God 73 - fearlessarrow 74 - Troublemaker 75 - andrewantonio Tagged: Mirago Leigh

Continuing with songs I heard for the first time during this RD... I definitely liked Fast Girls and Start Anew more than Making Love, which was just too syrupy for my liking (as opposed to Diamonds, which is on the other side of the spectrum for me :) ). Overall not complaining much about the ranks of this bunch, but I'm still REALLY waiting for my #74 and #73 to leave like NOW.

Albums Rankdown: 11. Dream Street (1984)
A1. "Don't Stand Another Chance" (TBA) A2. "Two to the Power of Love" (Duet with Cliff Richard) (#74) A3. "Pretty Boy" A4. "Dream Street" (TBA) B1. "Communication" B2. "Fast Girls" (#70) B3. "Hold Back the Tears" B4. "All My Love to You" B5. "If It Takes All Night" (Bolded songs are the singles, with their rank in this countdown in parenthesis if they have already been revealed). Of the seven album rankdown votes, five had this in last place, and the other two had it in the bottom three - so this album coming in at #11 should shock no one. Released as her second studio album in 1984, this album was a bit poppier than her debut, featuring production by Jesse Johnson, Giorgio Moroder and Peter Bellotte, and her brother Marlon Jackson. Despite this, it was not the great success that the record company and Janet's father had hoped for. Personally, I find the album enjoyable despite some weak moments and obviously not holding up to the material that would follow. "Don't Stand Another Chance", "Pretty Boy", and "Fast Girls" are all jams, and "If It Takes All Night" is a great closer. Average: 10.571 Standard Deviation: 0.7879 - bat1990 10 - @phillippe 11 - Baby Spice 11 - God 11 - weaver 11 - Active Aggressive 11 - @antigonerising Tagged: Mirago Leigh

Idk why but I just chuckled a bit at the "Have you heard it already? This is Janet Jackson's very danceable new single!!" (the Japanese on the single cover in smaller letters near the top; it's the first of the four lines that's to the left of the big red J) on the single cover of "Start Anew" lol
