In the mid-1980s, Jackson set out to find her own identity, collaborating with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The trio created Jackson's breakout album, Control (1986), and the socially-focused follow-up, Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989). In the early 1990s, Jackson signed a record-breaking record deal with Virgin Records for the sexually-charged album janet. (1993), which was more successful than its two predecessors and earned Jackson an Oscar nomination. Jackson also returned to acting, starring in Poetic Justice (1993). Her second album under Virgin, The Velvet Rope (1997), was her most introspective ever.
While filming Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000), Jackson continued to work on All for You (2001), which gained success on the Billboard charts. In 2004, Jackson made headlines for her controversial Super Bowl halftime show performance in which Justin Timberlake exposed Jackson's right breast during a duet. The event became a media controversy and put a damper on the release of Damita Jo (2004), which failed to yield any successful singles. In 2006, it was announced that Jackson was the "Most Searched on the Internet," and the "Most Searched for News Item," in the Guinness Book of World Records. Jackson is currently dating producer Jermaine Dupri, with whom she worked with on her ninth studio album 20 Y.O. (2006).
