MICHAEL JACKSON'S NO. ONE ALBUM

IN  MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

 

MICHAEL JACKSON'S NO. ONE ALBUM

 

Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the biggest album of all time, with more than 30 million sales alone in the States and an estimated 100 million worldwide. Thriller was released in 1982 and spent nearly 2 1/2 years on the Billboard album chart with 37 weeks at No. 1, holding the modern day record. It was also the first album in history to spend its entire first 80 weeks in the top 10. It spawned seven singles, all of which are still huge hits today, and it cemented Jackson as one of music’s greatest storytellers. The resulting promotional appearances, videos and tours also delivered some of Jackson’s most visually impactful moments, including the debut of his moonwalk (in 1983) and the acclaimed Thriller music video.

True to his word, Jackson delivered a massively successful album, and Thriller took home a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards… including “Record of the Year.”
