Janet Jackson’s ‘Damita Jo’ In Downward Spiral

Roger Friedman of FoxNews.com weighed in on the sales of Janet Jackson’s latest album ‘Damita Jo’, which appears set to drop to #3 in the album charts with just over 110,000 copies sold. He writes, “Jackson probably didn’t do herself any favors with her lip-synched musical performances on ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend, although sales from that appearance can’t be attributed to the new numbers. What a shame, too, since she came off as otherwise likeable and funny on the show. One thing really hurting Janet’s sales: a surprising lack of airplay on radio stations. With the exception of some play at Urban Contemporary radio, Radio & Records – which monitors airplay – shows in its charts that Jackson is absent from the airwaves at all major stations.” Read more.
