Big Deal!

Move over, Michael! Your little sister has just beaten your record. Janet Jackson signed the biggest record deal ever. She will get a reported $80 million to make four new albums, plus a greatest-hits album, for Virgin Records. Michael's $60 million deal was the biggest until now. Why the big deal over Janet? Four of her albums have gone platinum, meaning they sold over 1 million copies.
