Throughout the ‘90s Jackson enjoyed a success unparalleled by her siblings, apart from Michael. Rhythm Nation remains the only album in history to contain singles that topped the chart in three different calendar years, and the only that boasts seven top-5 singles. Control (1986) was a big album, with five top-5 singles, and the follow-up, 1989's Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 that cemented her status as a bonafide star. She has been a full-fledged musical phenomenon since her 1982 eponymous debut. The baby of the family, Janet Jackson is the most prominent and successful member of the “other” Jacksons. But each of them managed to have a fascinating life in their own way. They didn’t have the most normal childhood, due to celebrity as well as alleged abuse from patriarch Joe Jackson. The Jacksons will always be an integral part of the landscape of 20th century American pop.
The most successful sibling, the late Michael Jackson, achieved worldwide fame and was dubbed the King of Pop - but his legacy is in jeopardy due to revelations that he was a sexual predator. Some of the Jacksons continued to record and perform with one another, one Jackson cut ties with the family altogether, and a couple of them managed to start successful careers outside of the music industry. Since the dissolution of The Jacksons in the late ‘80s, long after their popularity waned, members of the group went their separate ways.
Janet Jackson has been a chart-topping artist, and others had some moments on their own but generally never attained the stardom they'd seen as The Jackson 5 - later known as, simply, The Jacksons. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the nine siblings of the Jackson family - in their Jackson 5 incarnation and as solo artists - were some of the most popular musicians on the planet.
