Jackson’s new single, “No Sleeep,” rose to No. Since a May 16 online tease of “new music, new world tour, a new movement,” Jackson has rapidly reeled off news about the launch of her own Rhythm Nation Records (a worldwide partnership with BMG), her first studio album in seven years and the initial two legs of a world tour, starting Aug.

Just ask Madonna, 56, or 45-year-old Mariah Carey, whose journeys into middle age have been challenging at best.
