Editor's note

Janet Jackson's pop and R&B evolution

From 'Control' to 'Rhythm Nation,' her sound shaped decades of dance floors.

For a quick sense of her range, listen to 'Escapade' and 'All for You.' They capture that bright, confident pop energy she does so well.

Her fourth album 'Control' changed everything, with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis producing hits like 'What Have You Done for Me Lately' and 'Nasty.' That record established a template for pop-R&B that still echoes today. Later tracks like 'Together Again' and 'Rhythm Nation' became signature songs that defined entire eras.

She released her debut album in 1982, but it was 'Control' in 1986 that really established her voice. Over 11 studio albums followed, spanning pop, R&B, and dance, with collaborations ranging from Missy Elliott to Nelly on 'Call On Me.' Her 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance became a cultural flashpoint about broadcast standards.
