Janet Jackson to receive Icon Award
Janet is a 11-time American Music Awards winner over the course of her 50 years of a thriving music career. Her accolades also include a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honour, five Grammy awards, two Emmy wins and more. She is also one of only four artists to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in the 1980s, ’90s, ’00s and ’10s, alongside Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and U2.
Janet Jackson’s Icon Award comes at a time as her song “Someone to Call My Lover” off her 2001 album All for You recently experienced a TikTok resurgence. The song returned to the Billboard charts, reaching No. 3 on the R&B digital songs chart.
Janet will also be seen shaking a leg with her fans during the next leg of her Vegas residency called Janet Jackson: Las Vegas, which launched in December 2024, with six shows taking place at the Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas from May 21-31.
