#JANET2014 Countdown: Rhythm Nation is the second single from Rhythm Nation 1814. Written and produced by JANET Jackson and Jam & Lewis, the song is frequently praised and known as iconic in pop culture for its theme of racial unity and the eradication of bigotry and prejudice in society. The iconic video is considered groundbreaking and one of the most infamous music videos all time. Numerous artists including Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Pink, Nicki Minaj, and Cheryl Cole have cited the Rhythm Nation video, choreography, and outfit as a source of inspiration and have paid homage to Jackson. Michael Jackson was also inspired by the song, initially wanting to name his MJJ Music label Nation Records to tribute Janet, though the copyright had already existed. Entertainment Weekly declared the video as legendary, and Rolling Stone included it in a list of 10 Favorite Dancing Musicians, calling Jackson a brilliant dancer who has arguably had a greater long-term impact on the choreography of contemporary music videos than Michael Jackson. The LA Times also considered Janets choreography to be even more enthralling than that of brother Michael. The song and choreography is also a mainstay at talent shows worldwide, and has been performed at The X-Factor, Britains Got Talent, and Americas Best Dance Crew, with an Australian music show also named after the song.
