Janet Jackson doesn’t blame the backlash from her wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Superbowl for her bad album sales. She says simply, the CDs just weren’t that good.

Both Damita Jo and Janet were flops. Many people in the music business attributed her poor sales to her “wardrobe malfunction.”

“Ms. Jackson” disagrees. “I think it was the music,” she said when we talked about her upcoming album debut on Island DefJam, “Discipline.”

“The albums weren’t right,” she added.

The first track from “Discipline,” titled “Feedback,” was used as radio bait. The rest of “Discipline” — due on Feb. 26 — should undo the damage of her previous two outings, according to Jackson and her fiancé, Jermaine Dupri, who’s her main producer.
