After Justin Timberlake publicly apologized to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, an unexpected surprise happened to the latter. Her 1986 album, "Control", topped last week's charts.
As of Saturday, "Control" is the eighth most downloaded album on Apple iTunes in the last 24 hours. Based on this, Janet thanked her supporters through a video :
"I was alone at home the day before and I started crying. I was crying because I was grateful for all that God has blessed me with, all that He has given me, and I am grateful that it was in my life. I am very grateful to all of you. You are so special to me and I want to thank you for putting 'Control' in the first place again. After 35 years, I never in a million years had thought it would happen. I really appreciate it and I love you so much. "
In a statement posted on his Instagram account (Friday, February 12), Justin Timberlake apologized to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson for the "wrong steps" he said contributed to "a system that endorses misogyny and racism ".
During the performance at the 2004 Super Bowl, Justin pulled Janet Jackson's dress revealing her breasts. At the time, the action was heavily criticized, but all criticism was for Janet, while Justin stayed in the shadows.
