From 2004-2008 roughly, Janet was blacklisted by the industry because of the Super Bowl incident. Viacom/Clear Channel were not playing her videos on MTV, BET, VH1 and she was not playing on the radio which is partially why her last three albums had poor commercial success. It is sad that a barely noticeable breast literally wiped her influence off the face of the planet because she never gets cited for the influence she has had on today's entertainers. I don't watch award shows like that but when ever they cite female pop stars that have influenced today's generation she is never mentioned. Most of the time it is Madonna that is mentioned.
