Editorial Review:
JANET JACKSON'S GREATEST HITS CELEBRATED ON NUMBER ONES FEATURING 33 GLOBAL NUMBER ONES AND THE NEW HIT SINGLE "MAKE ME" Janet Jackson has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and is one of the best-selling artists in contemporary music. For the first time ever, 33 of Janet's global #1 hits, plus the newly recorded single, "Make Me," will be available on one album--NUMBER ONES. Made possible by a partnership between Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) and EMI Music, the two-disc set, to be released November 17, 2009, in the USA (November 23, worldwide titled JANET JACKSON: THE BEST), celebrates the career and artistry of one of the most successful and influential artists in music history.
Among the album's many highlights is new single "Make Me," which was produced by Janet and Rodney Jerkins. Along with "Make Me," NUMBER ONES spans more than 20 years of chart-toppers, every #1 track spun off from Janet's original albums, from her 1986 blockbuster breakthrough CONTROL to her most recent, 2008's DISCIPLINE. CONTROL sold more than 14 million copies worldwide, with five #1 singles. The best-selling album of 1990, RHYTHM NATION 1814 sold more than 14 million copies worldwide, making Janet the first and only artist in history to produce seven top 5 hits from one album. JANET. sold 20 million albums worldwide, with six hit singles and a nomination for an Academy Award® for Best Original Song, "Again." THE VELVET ROPE has sold more than 10 million worldwide, with six hit singles. ALL FOR YOU was Janet's fifth consecutive album to debut at #1, with more than seven million in worldwide sales. For Janet's seventh consecutive platinum album, DAMITA JO, Janet took its title from her middle name.
Janet's eighth consecutive platinum album, 20 Y.O., acknowledged her love affair with her fans. Janet encouraged her fans around the world to design the 20 Y.O. cover artwork and she chose her favorites for the U.S. pressings. DISCIPLINE was Janet's 6th number one album and 10th studio album.
NUMBER ONES is the first greatest hits compilation from Janet in this century. Janet's last hits collection was released in 1995.

Number Ones Reviews:
Worth all the money 
2009-11-28 - If your a new or old Janet fan you will love this CD. It offers you all of her greatest songs in one package. It starts way back from her first breakthrough album (control) till the most recent one Discipline. The quality is great. You have to buy this album because you will regret it if you don't. Believe me its worth it.
When I Think Of You......JANET.
2009-11-25 - When I think of JANET and her music...it puts a smile on my face and a steady groove in my heartbeat.I too have all Janets albums and have been a FAN for over 28 years now...yeah from junior high,high school,college and the real world..lol.I guess you can say that JANET'S music has been the soundtrack of my life...(Janet & Madonna) All the songs on here are REMASTERED FLAWLESSLY..!!!I agree it would be nice to have some the B-Sides but if you're already a huge fan then you already have them :-)..Janet is an AMAZING and very HUMBLE WOMAN that sparks creativity and motivation.I will continue to be a loyal FAN. This album is a MUST have!!!
Can't go wrong with this collection!!
2009-11-25 - If you're wondering what Janet Jackson's music is about, you can't go wrong with this compilation. I own her earlier albums and listened to them feverishly growing up and this compilation epitomizes her as an artist. "Make Me" is a great addition - classic Janet with a wonderful groove. There's even a reference to her brother Michael's song "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" in that track.
This is a great compilation to own for both fans and those who are just discovering her music.
Much needed for todays music world
2009-11-23 - This is possibly the greatest compilation CD since MJ's Number One's. I think we all need these types of CD's to really remind ourselves that we do not have to endure what is being sold to us by the labels. We are in 2009 almost reaching 2010 and someone needs to officialy declare that music today, sucks. I could go on all day, comparing what was with what's left, but I really think people get the picture of where I'm coming from.
Favorite song: "Together Again"
Great collection!!
2009-11-22 - I recommend this for EVERYONE. An essential must have from one of the most successful, influential, and talented artists in musical history!
