She then released two modestly successful records, Janet Jackson and Dream Street, in the early 1980s. In an effort to establish her own identity apart from her famous family, Jackson teamed up with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in the mid 1980s, creating a superstar-making partnership which has lasted to the present day.

(1993), The Velvet Rope (1997), All for You (2001), and Grammy-nominated albums Damita Jo (2004) and 20 Y.O. (2006).

In 2004, Janet Jackson ranked as the ninth most successful artist in the history of rock and roll according to Billboard. Jackson also holds the record for the most Billboard Music Awards won by a single artist, a record 33. In 2006, it was announced that Jackson was the "Most Searched on the Internet," and the "Most Searched for News Item," in the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2007, Janet was ranked the 7th richest woman in the entertainment business by Forbes Magazine, amassing a fortune of over $150 Million.
