The 34 track collection on A&M/UMe includes 33 of Jackson's hits plus one new track, "Make Me," produced by Jackson and Rodney Jerkins.
"Number Ones" will be the singer's second best-of package in the U.S., following 1995's "Design of a Decade 1986/1996." That effort peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 2.4 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Outside the U.S., it will be titled "Janet Jackson: The Best," and be available November 23.
