Rhythm Nation

"Rhythm Nation" was a 1989 hit song by pop music diva Janet Jackson. The song became the second of the historic top five singles released off the Rhythm Nation 1814 album. Jackson composed the lyrics while Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis composed the music, which featured a sample from "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" by Sly & the Family Stone. The song preached racial unity and harmony among nations and in promise of "looking for a better way of life" and a way to stop "social unrest and injustice". The song became as famous for its countdown in both the song and the video as it was for its message. It peaked at #1 on Billboard's R&B charts and #2 on Billboard's Pop singles chart. This song won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography in 1990.
