She has also received accolades as an actor, including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. Janet is a published author, dancer, businessperson, philanthropist, and one of the biggest-selling artists in the history of popular music. With sales of over 180 million records worldwide, Janet Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. She is the record holder for the biggest-selling debut tour in history and is the first woman to debut in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 charts. She also stands as one of only four artists to have a #1 album for four successive decades, alongside Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, and U2. Even today, she continues to make an undeniable impact. In 2018, her single, "Made for Now" with Daddy Yankee, released by her own Rhythm Nation Records, hit #1 on the Dance Clubs Songs chart, making it her 20th single on the chart in the span of her career.

To date, Control has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
