Footnotes

  • ^^^ = While Jackson appears on "Diamonds", Billboard considers it a Herb Alpert single, and the track therefore does not count towards any of her chart totals. Similarly, "Making Love in the Rain" features backing vocals by Jackson, and it does not contribute to her chart statistics.
  • ^^ = Not released for sale in the U.S./Radio-Only Single in America. (Before Download Sales).

Charting B-sides

  • "Throb" was released most prominently as the B-Side to Jackson's "Any Time, Any Place" Maxi Single in the U.S. and it managed to gain enough airplay to reach number sixty-six on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart. However, in some countries like Australia, "Throb" was released with its David Morales remixes on vinyl and CD. Though the release was rare, it can often be found on eBay.[19]
  • "And On and On" was never serviced to radio. Radio stations started playing the song because it was the B-Side to the number-two Billboard Hot 100 hit "Any Time, Any Place", "And On and On", would end up going all the way to number twelve on the Billboard Top 75 R&B Airplay chart, and number thirty-six on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay without ever being shipped to radio.
  • "Where Are You Now" was not a b-side but an album track that radio played direct from the album janet. It reached number thirty on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart. Just weeks after "That's the Way Love Goes" was released, the song spent 33 weeks on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, but never became a single. At the time, it was rare for radio stations to play an Album-Only track, but more rare for it to reach Top 40 and spend over eight months on the Airplay chart. At one point, it was being considered as the seventh American single from the janet. album, but Janet instead chose to collaborate with her brother Michael on the single "Scream".
