Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation”: Seven Top 5 Singles a Record Still Standing

Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 is more than an album - it’s a pop history milestone.

Between 1989 and 1991, Janet spun off seven consecutive Top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 - including four No.1 hits. No album before or since has matched that feat.

In this video, I break down each single - from the explosion of “Miss You Much” and the protest anthem “Rhythm Nation,” to the carefree “Escapade,” the genre-bending “Black Cat,” and the ballad triumph of “Come Back To Me.” Plus, the label drama, release strategies, and the “what if” of “State of the World.”
