The first single from the album, No Sleeep, went straight to number one on the Billboard Adult R&B chart, and has been reigning at the top spot for the last seven weeks. This breaks Janet Jackson's own previous record on this chart, which was five weeks at the top with I Get Lonely.

The album has seen a historic re-teaming of the Queen of Pop herself with producer/songwriter stars Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, on the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking collaboration on her Control album.
