Ms. Jackson, she’s still going strong! The same way Beyonce dropped an entire visual album without a single warning, Janet Jackson requires no introduction. But it’s still fun to talk about her 251 major awards – including six Grammies, nine Guinness World Records, and 33 Billboard Music Awards – not to mention 501 nominations. This woman has been unstoppable since childhood, starring in TV shows and movies, while simultaneously producing chart topping and award winning albums year after year. Several critics have considered her the “Queen of Pop,” just like her similarly dubbed older brother the “King of Pop.” All this was achieved while also contributing to humanitarian efforts with the LGBT community and charities including AIDS Life, Feeding America, Red Cross and more.
Now, after decades of consistently breaking ceilings as a pop icon, sex symbol, and one of the best-selling artists in the history of contemporary music, Janet has smashed back into the music industry immediately following her 49th birthday by announcing her first new album in seven years and the launch of a 2015 world tour. To bless the start of yet another tour, she was awarded with the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards to celebrate her lifetime of achievements. Watch her receive this prestigious award here.
