This is the singles discography of American singer Janet Jackson. Jackson has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. [1] [2] [3] Billboard ranked her as well as the third greatest female artist of all time in Billboard Hot 100 history (behind Madonna and Mariah Carey). [4] Jackson's ten career number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 are the eighth most number one singles by a recording artist. [5]

Contents

Signing with A&M Records in 1982 at 15, her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 was "Young Love" off her self-titled debut album, reaching number 64, becoming only a moderate success. Her subsequent follow-up, Dream Street (1984) failed to produce a Hot 100 single. Her third album, Control (1986) was her breakthrough album, producing six top 20 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including five in the top ten with the song "When I Think of You", becoming her first number one single on the chart.

Her fourth album, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), remains the only album in history to produce seven consecutive top five singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including four number one singles -- "Miss You Much", "Rhythm Nation", "Escapade", "Black Cat" and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)". After signing with Virgin Records in 1991, Jackson released her fifth album, Janet , in 1993. The album produced six top ten singles, including the number-one hits "That's the Way Love Goes" and "Again", with the former becoming her most successful charting single to date.

In 1995, Jackson became the first female artist to have two songs debut inside the top ten of the Hot 100, with the Michael Jackson duet, "Scream" and "Runaway". Two years later, Jackson's sixth album, The Velvet Rope produced two top ten singles, the number-one hit "Together Again" and the Blackstreet-featured remix of "I Get Lonely", the latter of which gave Jackson an unprecedented 18th top ten hit in a row, which made her the only artist to have that many. [6]

After releasing the number one single, "Doesn't Really Matter", off the soundtrack to Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000), Jackson released her seventh studio album, All for You , in 2001. The album launched two of her most recent top ten singles to date: "All for You", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming her tenth and final number one single, and "Someone to Call My Lover", her 27th top ten hit.

Jackson struggled to have success on the charts following the fallout of Jackson's controversial performance at the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII in February 2004. Jackson's eighth studio release, Damita Jo , was her first album in two decades to not produce a top 40 single. Jackson returned to the top 40 just twice afterwards with the moderate hits "Call on Me" (2006) and "Feedback" (2008). After a seven-year hiatus, Jackson released her eleventh and latest studio album, Unbreakable (2015), which produced her 40th milestone Billboard Hot 100 entry, "No Sleeep", featuring J. Cole.

Jackson has only charted more sporadically since then with the Daddy Yankee-featured "Made for Now" (2018) and as a sampled credit on the Cardi B song, "Principal" (2025).

  15. "Making Love in the Rain" features backing vocals by Jackson, and it does not contribute to her chart statistics.
