Janet Jackson Album: “Icon: Number Ones”

There isn't much to say other than Janet always does it BIG!! I already own Number Ones and I purchased this CD just so I can have "Nothing" on disc. Janet has a crazy collection of #1 hits and this is a good selection. Some of her best work! Keep em coming Ms. Jackson! You've got die-hard fans waiting for more!! :)

As someone who collects all Janet's albums and singles, obviously I was going to buy "Number Ones" just to get the new recording Make Me, which was, sadly, not released as a CD single with the remixes included. But then I stumbled upon this single disc compilation that has all the hits I already have PLUS Make Me PLUS a song that was NOT on the Number Ones CD, Nothing, a track from a Tyler Perry movie. So rather than having to buy number ones and the Perry soundtrack, I got the two songs I needed on this one inexpensive single disc compilation.

Janet has achieved more number one songs than can fit on a single CD, so I don't know how they managed to choose the contents of Icon, but it's a great selection of some of my favorite Janet songs!

From the funky beats of 'What Have You Done For Me Lately' (brings me back to being blown away by Janet on the 1987 Grammys - Gimme A Beat!!!) & 'Nasty', through to Janet's recent hits 'Make Me' and 'Nothing it's a great journey through Janet's amazing artistry, and brings back so many great memories.

'Nothing' is fast becoming one of my favorite songs and it was only available on iTunes prior to this so it's great to have it on the album along with 'Make Me'.

For fans it has a great selection of some of your favorite Janet songs including 'Make Me' and 'Nothing' together, and for the casual listener it has many Janet songs you will fondly remember from over the years.

Icon is great music for home, at the office, for dancing of course... and I plan to make Icon a Christmas gift for a few friends along with

Highly recommended!

A true ICON in the music bizz...will lov her forever and this is just another venue to see her work at it's best...from the music files of Diva'

This compilation shows Janet having fun and bringing the same to all of us...dance, sing, smile, she brings it out and thank you for the whole package.
