Janet Not Giving Positive "Feedback" Regarding Her Label's Promotion

Man, I can't get that Janet Jackson song "Feedback" outta my head recently. Ever since reading that she wasn't pleased about how her most recent album, Discipline, was being promoted by new label Def Jam. Aside from the hot lead single from the album which boasted the controversial simile, "Heavy like a first day period," everything else had a lukewarm reception--including total sales for the album, which stand at 392,000 copies in the U.S. if I recall correctly.

Blame it on your label or blame it on the fact that your follow-up singles weren't hot enough to keep you on the charts? I'm thinking it might be the latter, but don't get me wrong, "Feedback" is pretty amazing.
