Jermaine is Upset
Jermaine blames Virgin for not getting it enough radio play --- not working it," says an insider. In a desperate move to breathe life into "20 Y.O.," a source says Dupri is courting Mariah Carey to have a duet with Jackson on a track that would be added to a new version of the disk --- even though some estimate Virgin still hasn't moved about 200,000 of the first batch.
Dupri has made no secret of his displeasure with the way Virgin handled Jackson's last album, "Damita Jo," telling The New York Times' Lola Ogunnaike, "They didn't push the project."Flom has said that was before he came to the label. But another source says, "Jermaine and Jason haven't gotten along from the start."Reps for Dupri, Virgin and Carey didn't return calls. But one of Flom's defenders argues, "Jason wants the CD to be a hit as much as anyone, but she didn't have the goods."

Well, I don't know if Virgin Records should take all the blame. There are a lot of factors that contributed to Janet's album receiving poor record sells such as: Call On Me being the first single, MTV fiasco, and Janet allowing Jermaine to take control of the album.
