Janet Jackson notched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart with her latest album "Unbreakable" on Sunday, marking her seventh chart-topper and making her only the third musician to achieve No. 1 albums in each of the last four decades, according to Billboard.
"Unbreakable," Jackson's 11th studio album and her first release after the death of her pop star brother Michael Jackson, sold 109,000 albums, 44,000 songs and was streamed about 4 million times in the week ending Oct. 8, topping charts with a total of 116,000 album units, according to Nielsen Music.
Jackson's "Unbreakable" is also her first release since 2008's "Discipline," which also attained the No.1 spot along with other albums including "All For You (2001)," "The Velvet Rope (1997)," "janet. (1993)," "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989)" and "Control (1986)."
Jackson joins the likes of artists Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen - the only other artists to earn a chart-topping record in each of the past four decades. Streisand and Madonna are the only other female artists to have more No. 1 albums than Jackson.
"Unbreakable," the first album Jackson released on her own independent label, Rhythm Nation, features the tracks "No Sleep" (with J. Cole), "Unbreakable," and "Burnitup" (with Missy Elliott). Jackson debuted the collaboration with Elliot on the "Unbreakable" tour, which kicked off in August in Vancouver, as HNGN previously reported.
"Unbreakable" claimed the top spot by beating Fetty Wap's debut album, which premiered at the No. 1 spot last week (now dropped to No. 4). The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind The Madness" is now in second place and Drake and Future's mixtape, "What A Time To Be Alive," sits third, according to Entertainment Weekly.
