On The Charts: Janet Jackson Wrestles Top Spot from Jack Johnson

3/5/08, 11:25 am EST

The Big News: Janet Jackson’s Discipline debuted at Number One, selling 181,075 copies and ending Jack Johnson’s three-week reign atop the charts. Johnson fell to three, with Erykah Badu’s first album in five years, New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) debuting in slot number two. For Janet, Discipline marks the first time since 2001’s All for You that she has claimed the top spot. Rounding out the top five was rapper Webbie’s Savage Life 2 and Alicia KeysAs I Am.

Debuts: Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo’s rookie album Units in the City entered at thirteen on the strength of the single “Dey Know.” Dolly Parton’s Backwoods Barbie came in at seventeen and Christian rockers the AftersNever Going Back to OK debuted at forty-one. In indie news, Goldfrapp’s Seventh Tree hit forty-eight, while Breaking artists Beach House’s sophomore album Devotion snuck in at 195.

Last Week’s Heroes: The Grammy resurgence officially ended for Amy Winehouse, as her Back to Black dropped from three to ten, while Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters fell from sixteen to thirty-eight. An Oscar win, however, helped boost the Once soundtrack, as the Glen Hansard/Martina Irglova album jumped from thirty-one to seven, one spot ahead of Juno.

“It’s nice to see that there is not one negative comment here about Janet!!!”

Hate to break it to ya, but

she’s a leech with a bad coke habit.

And believe it or not, she sucks in bed, too.

And she refers to her fans as her, “Cute Little Retard Dunces!”

Sorry.

Old school fan

dwalker | 3/6/2008, 12:05 am EST

janet is just one of those artist you just can not count out, what i am feeling the cd, i am in love with what’s ur name,, thats my jam, I go back to the days of watching her on good times, cool cd, however , next cd has to less sex and more mature

InLuvWithJanet | 3/5/2008, 10:28 pm EST

Janet I love you so much, and I’m so glad youre number one as youve always been number one in my book anyway. Virgin Records Sucks ass for letting you down like that the last two cd’s along with Mtv because they were guilty too for the demise of damita jo and 20 Y.0. so at least Mtv got it right by having you back on as artist of the week of your cd’s release as it should be. But hey I remember when Mtv was all Janet Jackson all the time there would be entire Janet Weekends of music, interviews and concert footage yes I’m that old but we need to get back to the good old days. I love you girl keep doing youre thang, and those who hate on you are only jealous that at 41 they look 61 and at 41 you look 20 Y.0. Black don’t crack bitch Work It!!!

bluehorizon | 3/5/2008, 9:54 pm EST

Janet…always #1 in my book!!!

Love the new CD from begining to end.

LOL

It’s about time. Janet this album is great. The next single should be “Luv”. Don’t take too much direction from JD. His musical style is different than yours.

A very well done project I must say. “Discipline” is very well crafted, albeit not so much with the vocals, still a solid album. Congrats to Janet Jackson.

Janet’s last #1 album was ‘All for You’, not ‘All Over You’. That was pretty funny btw.
