Originally released in November 1982 on Epic Records, Michael Jackson's sixth solo album and second with producer Quincy Jones, rocketed the former child-star from the Jackson 5 into the stratosphere of international superstardom.
Introducing the "robot" and the "moonwalk" into the international lexicon of clubland dance moves, Thriller helped revolutionize all aspects of mainstream pop culture - from radio airwaves to the newly emerging art form of music videos - making Michael the world's most popular entertainer in the process.
Thriller made history as the first and only record to be America's top-selling album two years running (1983 and 1984). The original Thriller spent an astounding 80 consecutive weeks in the American Top 10, 37 of those at #1. Seven of the album's original nine tracks became Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 while individual singles from Thriller reached #1 chart positions in a dozen different countries.
