Singles from Design of a Decade 1986/1996
  1. "Runaway"
  2. "Twenty Foreplay"

Design of a Decade 1986/1996 is the first greatest hits album (eight overall) by American R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson. On April 24, 2007, iTunes added Jackson's A&M-era albums to their short Janet Jackson selection, with the exception of Dream Street the next month. "Runaway", "Twenty Foreplay" (both exclusive to this album), and "That's the Way Love Goes" can only be purchased when buying the whole album.

Contents

Released in 1995 (see 1995 in music), it features six of Jackson's hits from Control, seven songs from Rhythm Nation 1814, one song from janet., and two new tracks including the top five hit "Runaway" and the mid-tempo ballad "Twenty Foreplay". A video compilation, featuring all the songs on the album (with the exception of "Twenty Foreplay"), was released concurrently with the album.

Owing to licensing difficulties, several later singles that were big hits—including "If", "Again", "Any Time, Any Place", "Because of Love", and "You Want This"—were omitted from the track listing. Other singles that failed to make the cut included the UK single "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" (from 1986 Control), although there was more an emphasis on quality rather than quantity. On the international release of the CD, some songs are shortened in order to include "Whoops Now" and "The Best Things in Life Are Free".
