It was "All" Janet "All" the time last week on TV and radio, as she launched "All For You," the title track from her new album, which hits retail April 24. The new disc is her first since 1997's triple-Platinum "Velvet Rope," her fourth record to top the charts. Based on radio's initial response to "All For You," Virgin is reportedly planning to put upwards of 1.5 million records on the streets.
Virgin Records America Co-President Ray Cooper was so pleased at the strong start that he dribbled Earl Grey tea all over himself: "Janet has once again proven she is truly the best. She delivered a brilliant song, which the public has embraced as quickly as we did when we first heard it. And she even lets me call her Ms. Jackson if I'm nasty."
Sr. VP Marketing Piero Giramonti "Cristo" said the label is enormously encouraged by radio's reaction. "This is a mass-market campaign. We're also aware of Janet's enormous urban fan base, so we're making it our priority to work with BET to reach urban consumers out of the box."
