Similar to "Escapade" and "Whoops Now," the single invited you to take a trip with Janet as she explored African and Asian-inspired sounds. The lead single and first release from the album was "Runaway," the pop single initially meant to be a duet with brother Michael Jackson. Catchy, chart-topping songs that defined Janet's career. (1993) so technically the album didn't quite cover a decade, but what Janet says, goes. The album also featured two new singles, "Runaway" and "Twenty Foreplay," which showed signs that Janet had no plans of slowing down her high-speed train to success.ĭescribed as "state-of-the-art dance-pop productions," most of the singles on the greatest hits album were just that. The 14 tracks were Janet's top 40 hits from her albums Control (1986), Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) and janet. The latter part of the album title was a little misleading, however. The duo expertly sketched, outlined and weaved Janet's sound and made her a shining star in the music industry. Janet Damita Jo Jackson went from the shy, bubble-gum popping Gary, Indiana native to a sexy, confident, worldly woman who made it clear never to call her "baby." A part of her royal court were producers and collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who also doubled as her designers. Taking her rightful seat as the Queen of Pop, Janet decided to continue her reign with her first greatest hits album, Design of a Decade: 1986/1996. The first half of the album title was the most accurate about the singer. It was 1995, and at the fine age of 29, Janet Jackson was unstoppable.
