As of April 2016, the album has sold over 253,000 copies in the United States. Unbreakable was named by several publications as one of the best album releases of 2015. It received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with some commenting that it reflected her maturation. It also peaked within the top 40 of most major music markets. This made her the third act in the history of the chart to have a number one album in each of the last four decades. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming Jackson's seventh album to top the chart in the United States. Its lead single " No Sleeep" became her 40th entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, peaking at number 63, as well as her most successful entry on the US Adult R&B Songs chart, topping the chart for twelve non-consecutive weeks. Unbreakable 's theme reflects various experiences over the course of Jackson's life-including aspects of her childhood and the death of her brother Michael-in addition to socially conscious messages prevalent in her 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814. Additional songwriting and production was provided by Dem Jointz, Tommy McClendon and Thomas Lumpkins. Jackson reunited with songwriting/production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, their last collaboration being on her ninth studio album 20 Y.O. Two years later in May 2015, Jackson announced that she would embark on the Unbreakable World Tour and release Unbreakable. She became busy with film roles and embarked on a worldwide concert tour, and in 2013 announced her third marriage to Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. The singer began recording new material with producer Rodney Jerkins the following year, but eventually abandoned the project. Jackson had parted ways with Island Records in 2008 due to dissatisfaction over the company's lack of promotion for her tenth studio album, Discipline (2008). It was released on October 2, 2015, and is the first album released under her independent label Rhythm Nation, distributed by BMG Rights Management through a partnership with the singer.

Unbreakable is the eleventh studio album by American singer Janet Jackson.
