Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 1814

About Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson Album

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (commonly referred to as Rhythm Nation) is the fourth studio album by American singer Janet Jackson, released on September 19, 1989, by A&M Records. Although label executives wanted material similar to her previous album, Control (1986), Jackson insisted on creating a concept album addressing social issues. Collaborating with songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, she drew inspiration from various tragedies reported through news media, exploring racism, poverty, and substance abuse, in addition to themes of romance. Although its primary concept was met with mixed reactions, its composition received critical acclaim. Jackson came to be considered a role model for youth because of her socially conscious lyrics. Noted for its use of sample loop and utilizing swing note and synthesized percussion throughout its production, the album encompasses a variety of musical styles, such as new jack swing, hard rock, pop, dance and industrial music. The songs range from mechanized dance rhythms to soft balladry, giving it appeal across multiple radio formats. It became the singer's second consecutive album to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States. Certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), it became the country's best-selling album of 1990 and has sold an estimated 12 million copies worldwide. Due to its innovative production and lyrical exploration, critics have come to regard it as the pinnacle of Jackson's artistic achievement. It has been cited as an influence in various musical trends, inspiring numerous artists. It is the only album in the history of the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart to have seven commercial singles peak within the top five positions. It is also the only album to produce number one hits on the chart in three separate calendar years (1989–1991). The 30-minute Rhythm Nation 1814 film, a screenplay depicting two aspiring musicians whose lives are disrupted by substance abuse, aired on MTV to promote the album. Jackson received nine Grammy Award nominations, becoming the first woman to be nominated for Producer of the Year and winning Best Long Form Music Video for Rhythm Nation 1814. Her Rhythm Nation World Tour 1990 became the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist, in addition to setting venue records in Japan. She was regarded as a fashion icon, with her "Rhythm Nation" attire being emulated by youth. Proceeds from the tour were used to establish the Rhythm Nation Scholarship and fund other educational programs. Jackson received the MTV Video Vanguard Award and the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her significant contributions to popular culture.

After making such a bold statement on Control, Janet took it to another level with Rhythm Nation 1814. This album was massively successful and still holds the record for the most top 5 singles from an album. There were seven of them - and four were #1.

Ms. Jackson delivered on this masterpiece album. This album is groundbreaking! It not only speaks to the worlds issues that was plaguing our nations back in the late 80s and early 90s, but it also is very relevant to today’s society. She is so underrated as an artist and visionary. This album should be on everyone’s shelves.

- 30 Years, Still Supreme

This is one of the greatest albums of all time, in no small part due to the fact that in 30 years it has barely aged. The production and epic vocals sound nearly contemporary. But above even that, the message of Rhythm Nation is one we’re still hoping to achieve today. Congrats to Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for bringing this musical treasure to the world, 30 years ago this week!!

- Legendary

A legendary album

- SHE IS QUEEN

Queen of pop

30 years later and still dealing with the same issues. RN was and still ahead of its time. This album is non stop. I remember that they played this whole album in a German club. It was epic!

- Love

Amazing album

- One of the best albums of all time!

This album is the type of work all artists dream of having. From songs about social injustice and racism to love songs and fun dance songs—its all here!! The messages in this album are sadly still relevant today. This is the only album is HISTORY to have 7 Top 5 singles from it. And if it had been around for streaming rules and charting it would have garnered even more! This is pure pop perfection. It has a great mix of dance, pop, r&b, rock, and beautiful ballads. This is a must have for every fan of 80s/90s music lovers.

- Still remember 😎

I just love Janet.... she reminds me of her brother, my idol MJ...those old days, miss them much ...😔

- JANET'S I TUNES MUSIC

The album is 5 stars worthy period!! However thats not what I want to talk about. THERE IS NO REASON IN THE WORLD WHY ALL OF HER WORK IS NOT UPLOADED ON HER I TUNES PAGE. THERE ARE 11 VIDEOS MISSING FROM THE LINE-UP. WHY??? THIS IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE . JANET JACKSON IS ALLWAYS MISSED REPRESENTED!! WHO EVER HANDELS HER SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS NEED TO GET IT TOGOTHER. NOT TO MENTION SHE ONLY HAS 5.9M IG FOLLOWERS AND HER YOUTUBE PAGE ALSO DOESNT HAVE ALL HER VIDEOS. IM JUST SAY... THE WOMEN DESERVES MORE RESPECT..

- The Knowledge

This is basically what the album gives you. Knowledge! An absolute masterpiece. Still all true today.

- 30 years later

Ground breaking, emotional, thought provoking. Janet smashed the system with this amazing long player. Totally underrated artist, deserves a lot more recognition.

This is probably one of the greatest albums ever made by a female artist. Most of the tracks were hit singles! It’s nice to get an album released decades ago, that still sounds as fresh as it did back when first released! Iconic.
