Janet Jackson to be Honoured with Icon Award at the 2025 American Music Awards
Janet Jackson is a global music icon, and her fame stems from a combination of immense talent, groundbreaking innovation, influential artistry, and her connection to the legendary musical family, The Jacksons. According to a report by AS.com, having the family as a platform and access to the industry, after two low-key studio offerings, Janet teamed up with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to deliver the Control album.
The album produced global hits such as: “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” “Nasty,” and “Control” and established her as a major musical force. The follow-up Rhythm Nation 1814 continued the success as Jackson developed as an artist with lyrics taking on a more socially aware angle. As noted by AS.com, “She has maintained a successful career for decades, consistently producing hit songs and albums from the mid-1980s well into the 2000s.”
The American Music Awards have announced that Janet Jackson will be honoured with the ICON award at this year’s ceremony, which will air live from Las Vegas on May 26
