Janet Jackson really knows how to make a comeback.

The “No Sleep” singer, who is currently in the middle of her Unbreakable world tour, just landed her seventh—yes, seventh—No. 1 album following the October 2 release of Unbreakable, reports Billboard.

12 Reasons Why We’ll Always Love Janet Jackson

The success of the dance party album has put Jackson in an elite club: She is one of only three artists who has scored No. 1 albums in each of the last four decades (Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen are the other two). Perhaps more impressive, only two other female artists (Stresiand and Madonna) have as many No. 1 albums as Ms. Jackson.

All hail Janet!
