"Black Cat" was a 1990 hit song by pop music diva Janet Jackson. Unlike the pop and R&B-infused songs that Jackson had been releasing before, this song was strictly a rock and roll production solely written by Jackson and co-produced with the song's guitarist Jellybean Johnson. The song was basically about revenge against a former lover. Jackson sings in an almost piercing fashion in the song and made Jackson the first, and only, artist to score a number one song on any Billboard chart be it pop, R&B, dance, adult contemporary or rock, which it did hitting #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock singles chart as well as Billboard's Hot 100 making it the first time a song hit #1 simultaneously on both of those charts. It also hit the top ten of the R&B charts.
