Janet Jackson visits the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul today on her Together Again Tour. The pop superstar, who turned 57 on May 16, has built one of the greatest runs in music history with a reported 100 million albums sold worldwide. She also has notable ties to Minnesota, recording in the state with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for parts of her 1986 album Control, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814 , janet from 1993, 1997’s The Velvet Rope, and All for You in 2001.

She has amassed a treasure trove of hits, and we want to play as many as we can to celebrate her first performance in the Twin Cities in eight years.
