Janet Jackson’s official website www.janetjackson.com sold over 96% of the presale tickets for the North America Tour on the first day of presales. The "Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour" is the first time Janet has hit the road since her record breaking appearance at The Essence Music Festival. These performances will be Janet’s largest ever world tour celebrating, for the first time, the Icon's 35 number one hits in 35 global cities. Janet still holds the record for the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist with her 1990 “Rhythm Nation Tour” and is continuing to shatter records.

Janet enlisted her fans to help schedule the cities of her largest tour yet. Fans submitted suggestions to www.janetjackson.com to have their city selected. Janet will kick off the start of her tour February 4th in Manila, Philippines. This tour will focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. In each selected city JANET will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Don't look for special effects. Just look at Janet.

In each of the 35 cities Janet will recognize 20 young people under 20 whose lives and work have enriched their communities in a major way.

“I want to meet 20 young leaders who are changing their communities for the better. I’m asking my fans and their friends, parents, relatives, neighbors and teachers to nominate five people to qualify as one of the 20 under 20 in each city. The 20 people chosen and the person who nominated them will be VIP guests at my show. I will invite the 20 sponsors and the 20 winners to the concert and backstage. There are many young people changing the word and I want them to be recognized during my tour. I want to learn from them how they are changing the world. You all know someone who is making a difference, so get in touch. You can nominate them on JANETJACKSON.COM,” said the Icon.SOURCE
