Dupri Blames Janet Jackson's Label For Flop

Janet Jackson's latest CD is not doing so well on the charts and her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri blames her label. Dupri has threatened to quit as president of the Virgin Urban division because he feels that the label chairman Jason Flom and his team didn't market Jackson's album "20 Y.O." correctly.

CD sales plummeted 74% in its second week, dropping from No. 2 to No. 9 on the Nielsen Sound Scan chart. Insiders say "Jermaine blames Virgin for not getting it enough radio play, not working it". We have even heard that Jermaine is so desperate to push sales that he is working on teaming up Mariah Carey with Miss Jackson for a duet. The track would be added to a new version of the disc, even though 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."

It's nice to see Dupri protecting his girlfriend instead of running the other way like others would do after a failed album.
