Janet Jackson

Before Janet Jackson makes her grand return to the music scene, let's remember how the icon took control and forever shook up the system.

Janet Jackson has been staying under the radar for a while now. But now she's back and has a big announcement for everyone.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show and there were children watching. However, even that couldn't stop the nip slip seen round the world.

Oh Bruno Mars, you charmer. The crooner covered a Janet Jackson hit from the 1990s while performing in Las Vegas.

It is every artist's goal to have a number one album.  It is a challenging achievement.  Then to have an album produce seven top ten U.S. singles, is spectacular and only three albums have done that.  Today in music history we go back to 1989 when Janet Jackson climbed to number one on the U.S. album chart with Rhythm Nation 1814.  She would remain queen for four weeks.

Flashing back to 1986 with Janet Jackson, today in music history.  The youngest of nine Jackson children, Janet started as a child actress starring on "Good Times" and "Diff'rent Strokes".  She went on to star in other shows and a number of movies, not to mention her huge career in music.

Janet Jackson is today's focus in our Friday Flashback.  Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet became the youngest member of a very talented family.  Sister of, The Jacksons, Janet made her own mark in the acting and music world.

Nine years ago today, during the 2004 Superbowl XXXVIII halftime show, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake gave the world something to talk about with probably the most famous "wardrobe malfunction" in history.
