Overview Edit

Dream Street is the second studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released on September 22, 1984 (see 1984 in music).

More pop than her debut album's "bubblegum soul" feel, the album wasn't the runaway success that Janet's father Joseph thought it would be, peaking at number one hundred forty-seven on the Billboard 200 in 1984. Today, this is Jackson's rarest album and is much sought after by fans, though it is still available as an expensive Japanese import. The album did have one modest hit for Jackson, the top ten R&B single, "Don't Stand Another Chance", produced by brother Marlon. Also, the video for the song "Dream Street", her first music video, was shot during the shooting of the TV show Fame.

This would be the last of Jackson's pre-stardom albums. She would break out of her squeaky-clean sounds with her Control album in 1986.

It was made available to iTunes on May 15, 2007.

4 stars Too Many Janet Fans Made The Wrong Turn
I've seen it too many times. Magazine articles, interviews, documentaries, and even talk shows making the same mistake over and over: "Janet Jackson's 1986 debut album, CONTROL blasted the star to success..." I'm not sure why, but many Janet Jackson fans have overlooked her sophomore album, 1984's DREAM STREET, as well as her '82 debut, JANET JACKSON. If you're one of those people who are under the impression that Janet Jackson started out being in control, I advise you to check out DREAM STREET…

3 stars Before Control
This is the album prior to "Control". It has a lot of good songs. Giorgio Moroder produced some great songs. The title track is one of them. Janet gets funky with "Fast Girls" and "Pretty Boy" both produced by Jesse Johnson, from the Prince camp. Of course, her brothers contibute a couple songs here. "Don't Stand Another Chance" written and produced by Marlon has that classic '80s Jackson sound. This was a hit on the R&B charts in '84 and it does make you dance as does the other Marlon song "All…
