On this day, January 26, 1987, Control: The Remixes, a remix album by Janet Jackson, was released in Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom. This album built on the success of Janet’s groundbreaking Control album, which had firmly established her as a pop and R&B icon.

Control: The Remixes featured dancefloor-ready versions of hits like Nasty, What Have You Done for Me Lately, and Control. The remixes emphasized Janet’s commanding vocal style and the innovative production by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which revolutionized the sound of 80s pop and R&B.

Fun Fact: The release of Control: The Remixes coincided with Janet’s rise as a global superstar. The Control album itself spawned five Top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, a rare feat at the time.

Trivia Question: What iconic phrase from Janet Jackson’s song Nasty became a pop culture catchphrase in the 80s?
