\n\tToday, we close things out with Janet Jackson in 2001, when she got one final year in the All for You era as a no-doubt top-flight hitmaker, while seemingly the entire rest of the pop world was rightly praising her as a formative influence and iconic pop legend. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard senior charts and data analyst Trevor Anderson<\/a> to remember Janet getting one long victory lap of a year to simultaneous enjoy her cemented legacy and contemporary superstardom \u2014 before nearly everything would flip for her on one sadly fateful night three years later. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlong the way, we ask all the most pressing questions about \u201901 Janet Jackson: Was this the most easily triumphant year of Janet\u2019s entire career? How did this year end up so fun and carefree coming so soon after her divorce? Why isn\u2019t All for You necessarily thought of as on par with the four albums (or eras) before it? Do we wish we could\u2019ve gotten the version of this album where Janet works with a bunch of exciting new collaborators? Is the title track one of her all-time great singles? Why didn\u2019t Britney perform at the MTV Icon Janet tribute? Does Janet have a signature video or signature look from this period? And perhaps most importantly: How much do we blame the Super Bowl for her never having another Hot 100 top 10 hit after this year?<\/p>\n
