Any pop star who has borrowed the swagger and crunch from hair metal—Rihanna, Pink, Christina Aguilera—owes something to “Black Cat.” Every Gwen Stefani song is essentially “Miss You Much.” And title track “Rhythm Nation” remains an incredibly kinetic workout that provided the DNA for everything from Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” to the bulk of Beyoncé’s 4. Black Cat was well received among critics, who praised Jacksons foray into the hard rock genre in addition to the songs radical statement towards drug abuse and violence. Jacksons vocals were also commended as used to their maximum advantage. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock chart, making Jackson the first artist to simultaneously peak atop both charts. It also reached number three in South Africa, four in Canada, five in Norway, six in Australia, eleven in Ireland, fifteen in the United Kingdom, and number two in airplay in Japan and the World Chart, among other countries. It was certified gold in the United States and Australia. Black Cat by Janet Jackson: Listen to songs by Janet Jackson on Myspace, a place where people come to connect, discover, and share.
