ong information

Released on April 20, 1993, the Grammy Award-winning song was the first single from Jackson's fifth studio album, "janet." (1993). It was her longest-running number-one single ever in the United States, staying atop the "Billboard" Hot 100 for eight weeks. "That's the Way Love Goes" is a song written by Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and contains a sample of James Brown's number-one R&B hit from 1974, "Papa Don't Take No Mess". As the lead single from "janet.", the mood was a stark contrast to her previous album "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814". "If" was the original choice for the lead single by Virgin. However, Jam and Lewis argued otherwise. "Everybody was talking about", says Jam. "To me, your first single should say, 'Welcome to the album. If you like this, check out the rest.' And we really felt "That's the Way Love Goes" was in keeping with the spirit of the rest of the album. And since it went to number one, we proved that we were right!" "If" was eventually released as the second single from the album.

Jackson won her second Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, and was also nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the song.

Since then, the song has been covered by Norman Brown, 'N Sync, Chantay Savage, Deborah Cox, and Brownstone.

Jackson performed the song as a medley with "If" at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards, the audio recording of which appears on the limited edition double disc edition of "janet." A remix of the song entitled CJ FXTC Club Mix appears on her second remix compilation "janet. Remixed".

"That's The Way Love Goes" ranked 427 in "Blender's" The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born. [ [http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?ID=1759 Blender magazine]

Chart performance

Two weeks later, a day before Jackson's twenty-seventh birthday, May 16 1993 it became Jackson's sixth number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100, eleventh number one on the "Billboard" Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, and her ninth number one on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play. It also reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. The single is also Jackson's biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, where it spent ten weeks at number one. This song is Jackson's most successful U.S. single to date.

Music video

The video was directed by Jackson's ex-husband René Elizondo, Jr.. Set in a hotel, Jackson is decpited amongst her friends who persuade her to play her new song. Jackson performs the song and where is interrupted by Tish who pauses it to tell her, "Yo, this is slamming!" Tish plays the tape and everyone in the hotel begins to dance along to it. The video also features the then-unknown Jennifer Lopez as Jackson's backup dancer. "That's the Way Love Goes" was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards in 1993 including Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, and Best Choreography. The video is featured on the 1994 compilation "janet.", 1996 compilation "Design of a Decade", the limited bonus-DVD edition of 2001's "All for You", and 2004's "".

An alternate version of the video, the "One Take Version", is set in the same hotel room and is a single take focusing solely on Jackson. It appears exclusively on the 1994 VHS video compilation "janet." [ [http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=162960 Janet Jackson Janet UK VIDEOS (162960) ] ]
