Janet Jackson Sets US Weekly Sales Record

Go on, Ms. (Svelte) Jackson!

Putting supposedly trashy, popular icons such as Britney Spears to shame, Janet Jackson has set a sales record for US Weekly. The recent issue with this sexy songstress on the cover is the best-selling issue of the publication ... ever!

Revealing the secrets to her weight loss, Michael and Tito's sister is hopig for a career revival when her album hits stores in September. She even stopped by the US Weekly offices in Manhattan this week to celebrate.

Reports said that Jackson, typically shy except when her wardrope malfunctions, graciously posed for pictures, greeted fans and even offered staffers encouragement on their own diets.
