[dynamite 67,548]

Mariah

I barely know anything about Janet, couldn't name her songs off the top of my head (obviously I will have heard some)

[PartySick 174,289]

Janet and it's not even close tbh

I get to see her again in 89 days

first, it's Mariah and not Mariah

second, Janet has songs like All 4 U, Doesn't Really Matter, Together Again, Scream with MJ, Feedback, even Luv Me Luv Me with Shaggy, THE Shaggy. u know all of them.

I mean, u literally chose your username after the song Dynamite by her brother Jermaine Jackson, the other JJ of the family, but he's a flop.

Hence me saying "obviously I will have heard some"!

Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, Alright, Escapade, Control, What Have You Done For Me Lately, Nasty, When I Think of You, Pleasure Principle, Let's Wait Awhile, That's the Way Love Goes, If, You Want This, Throb, Any Time Any Place, Got 'Til It's Gone, I Get Lonely, Would You Mind, Son of a Gun, Someone to Call My Lover, Rock With U, Discipline, Make Me, Runaway, All Nite (Don't Stop), R&B Junkie...

The list goes on and on  

And these are just hits, that's not even mentioning her underrated gems  

Janet is the only artist I know who has a discography so deep and excellent that it properly, truly rivals her brother.

...State of the World, Black Cat, The Knowledge, Lonely, Because of Love, Whoops Now, Night, No Sleeep, like goddamn  

There's a reason she performed like 50 songs when I saw her

Can I pick both?

Mariah and her 19 #1s, five octave range, song writing and producing credits all say otherwise. The iconic pop/rap crossover format wouldn’t have even existed had she not done the Fantasy remix. Also helps that she has four more albums. Not too mention Janet spouting MAGA talking points and questioning Kamala’s blackness is really off putting especially considering everything her brother went through.

I gave him the obvious hits that nobody can say that they didn’t hear them at least once 

But Janet’s best songs are the non-singles or the album versions with the extra breaks and shifts

I can name two Mariah songs and one of them I keep thinking is a Whitney Houston song  

The Jacksons have always been politically messy so I don't even factor that into the equation  

Janet simply has the better discography and is a better entertainer and performer.

I listened to your list and the only one I recognised was Together Again and even that was for the first time a few years ago 

She's not bad, I just can't name the songs I've heard from her without going through her discography.
