Michael Jackson - Thriller

Michael Jackson's Thriller remains the undisputed victor based solely on certified scales. It was a strange transitional period for music in 1982 when Disco and Funk were on their way out and Rock and Pop were on their way in. Michael made the best-selling record of all time by combining all four genres.

The music videos for this album are regarded to have turned videos into an art form. The visuals for "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Beat It," as well as the album's seven hits, continued to drive sales for a long period. This is without a doubt one of the most essential albums ever made.

Michael Jackson's album Thriller was the first to reach the top of the Billboard 200 list, which was then known as the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart. It remained at the top for 37 weeks. At the 1984 Grammy Awards, it reached 33 times platinum and won an unprecedented eight Grammy Awards.
