No fears of car crash gigs back then. She was so good that day.

I presumed 2007/2008 was more what @tarw had in mind?

Hmm. As someone who found the last album and EP to be mostly negligible, with the highlights of those bookending the show, this would not have pleased me.

I was still delighted to see her that year and there was a phenomenal amount of love for her from the crowd where we were.

Has Janet got any shows in the immediate run up where we can get a feel for what the show will be like?

This Lizzo hype is making me reconsider my Marr related plans.

Nope, Glastonbury is her next show.

As is pretty much always the case.  So much depends entirely on mood. Could be Lizzo. Could be Marr. Could be Tiny Tea Tent.

Would have to be blood-red comets and other strange portents in the sky for me to go and see a Wellend.

That's so true.  Some times, you're just having the crack at The Ridge and Furrow and your 4 way clash can get in the sea.

It is very moreish.

• Some members here said nobody remembers Janet in the UK, but it seems she's been selling more vinyls than Madonna, Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue combined for over a month.

Her discography is so iconic and constantly gains in respect.

The release dates of those albums show they are mostly pre-orders that have just become available. To get in the Amazon vinyl charts you have to sell very little, this is probably the same limited number of fans all pre-ordering her albums.

Next week they'll probably all but disappear until their actual release date. If you look in the combined CD and vinyl chart, her 1st appearance is at number 63.

All of this means nothing but I can't help myself.

I know that, but both Kylie and Madonna have new releases that are selling less than Janet's old albums. #63 for an album released over 20 years ago is amazing. All that without any promo or even official statement. My point is that somebody forgotten in the UK would hardly manage to ever chart on this chart, and Janet has four old albums charting higher than new releases by Kylie and Madonna.

Probably had a sale because of all the Janet Jackson albums blocking up the warehouse.
