      *Jermaine Dupri is standing by his woman Janet Jackson amidst sluggish movement of her new album, “20 Y.O.,” which reportedly experienced a 74 percent drop in sales during its second week of release – falling from No. 2 to 9 on the Nielsen SoundScan chart.

      Dupri, also the album’s producer and president of Virgin Records’ urban division, is said to be frustrated with the way the label promoted the album and blames his higher ups for dropping the ball.

      The New York Daily News quotes a source as saying: "Jermaine blames Virgin for not getting the album enough airplay and not working it."

      A rep for label chairman Jason Flom counters: “Jason wants the CD to be a hit as much as anyone. But Janet just didn't have the goods."

      According to the Daily News, Dupri has threatened to resign his post, and is trying to stir future sales by courting Mariah Carey to record a duet with Janet that would be featured on a new version of the disc.
