As of April 2016, the album has sold over 253,000 copies in the United States. Unbreakable was named by several publications as one of the best album releases of 2015. It received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with some commenting that it reflected her maturation. It also peaked within the top 40 of most major music markets. This made her the third act in the history of the chart to have a number one album in each of the last four decades. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming Jackson's seventh album to top the chart in the United States.

She was spotted publicly for the first time since the operation at designer Haider Ackermann's runway presentation for Paris Fashion Week last weekend.Unbreakable is the eleventh studio album by American singer Janet Jackson. Janet, who is still set to perform at the Dubai World Cup horse race in the United Arab Emirates on 26 March, has kept a low profile since she underwent surgery, but posted a video to her Twitter account in February telling fans, 'Hey, you guys I'm here in London. Her schedule was getting crazy, so we decided to pull this thing down. 'She has other businesses - some music, some brand-related. And when you’re that ambitious, there becomes conflict. 'We were a month out and still very positive about the shows, but it didn’t make any sense to keep all the dates,' the source said. However, an insider at Live Nation, the producers of Jackson's tour, denied the claims and said the ticket sales had been 'decent' although not amazing. It’s better to cancel than play a room that’s half-filled, especially if you’re Janet Jackson.” 'When an artist cancels an entire leg or postpones pieces of the tour, the real reason is because they’re not selling. “She was about to flop, badly,' a source told the New York Post's Page Six gossip column.

But a new report claims poor ticket sales were to blame for the date cancellations. However, the news that ticket holders were being given refunds led to the assumption the shows have been cancelled rather than just rescheduled.įollowing Janet's announcement, many fans were left worrying about her health, as the singer underwent throat surgery in January. The singer announced this week that she would be postponing all her UK and Ireland dates of her Unbreakable World Tour, along with some concerts in mainland Europe.
