So it is and three of them top ten! To be fair Whoops Now and Again were both quite big hits here, those I do remember in the charts. The other 3 I don't remember being singles.

They were all singles. I even remember Because of Love being played and reviewed on Live & Kicking.
 
She did zero UK promo for RN1814 from memory. Which in those days was a bit more of a problem. No TOTP for starters.
 
I remember all the .janet singles cause I bought every single one of them on multiple formats. :disco:

Yes they were trying to push album sales. Although not releasing the lead GTIG was just odd.).

Again, not really. It used to happen a lot. It was around that time it changed. Probably sparked by Natalie Imbruglia of all people (also with a lead single, though admittedly an artist slightly less expected to come out with a bang).

Got Til It’s Gone actually didn’t do *that* well in the US. A lot of pop stations wouldn’t touch it because it was too “black” with a dark, very “black” video and so airplay wasn’t actually that great. It’s discussed in the 33 1/3 book on The Velvet Rope. It was no surprise they went with Together Again afterwards and went all out, guns blazing on that release. I’ve often wondered if the airplay made them scrap any planned release and move straight onto the safer single or whether it was planned that way from the start as, as I said, it was fairly common practice.

Why are they showing that photo from about 15 years ago? SHe's clearly lost weight SINCE the tour started. Probably because she's energetically dancing around a stage nearly every night.
