Michael Jackson’s Thriller Turns 35 Today

Thriller Turns 35

It’s hard to believe that Michael Jackson’s Thriller was released 35 years ago today. Thriller has been regarded as one of the best albums ever released. Till this day, Thriller is the highest selling album of all-time with over 66 million records sold worldwide. The entire album was produced by the legendary Quincy Jones and it was a masterpiece. Thriller went on to win a total of 8 Grammy’s in 1984, which included Album of the Year. The album produced a total of seven singles, which they all did well as it was highlighted by the title track, of course. The singles were The Girl is Mine, Billie Jean, Beat It, Wanna Be Startin’ Something, Human Nature, P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) and Thriller. As you know, the highlight for many of us growing up was the video of Thriller, which you can peep below.
