    20 Y.O. is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson. It was released on September 20, 2006 by Virgin Records. Its title references her third studio album, Control (1986), which commemorated its twentieth release anniversary in 2006. The release would represent Control's "celebration of the joyful liberation and history-making musical style". For the project, Jackson enlisted a variation of producers to work with her, including LRoc, Manuel Seal, The Avila Brothers and No I.D., in addition to her longtime partners Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and then-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri. Its musical style globalizes R&B and dance music.

    20 Y.O. received mixed reviews from music critics, with many of them chastising the production and involvement of Dupri. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, making it Jackson's eighth consecutive top three debut and second consecutive number two album debut. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it platinum, becoming Jackson's eighth consecutive platinum album. Internationally, the album failed to make an impact on charts, reaching the top sixty in Australia and number 43 on European charts. Worldwide the album has sold 1.2 million copies. 20 Y.O. earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2007.

    Yo

    Yo is an English slang interjection, commonly associated with American English. It was popularized after being used commonly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since the 1940s.

    Although often used as a greeting, yo may come at the end of a sentence, often to direct focus onto a particular individual or group or to gain the attention of another individual or group. It may specify that a certain statement that had been uttered is more important, or may just be an "attention grabber".

    Etymology and history

    The interjection yo was first used in Middle English. The Middle English term originated from Old English ġēa ("yes") In addition to yo, it was also sometimes written io.

    Though the term may have been in use in the 16th century, its current popularity stems from its use in Philadelphia's Italian American population in the twentieth century, which spread to other ethnic groups in the city, notably among the African Americans.

    From the late twentieth century it frequently appeared in hip hop music and became associated with African American Vernacular English, as seen in the title Yo! MTV Raps, a popular American television hip-hop music program in the 1990s.
