Thriller is the sixth studio album by the artist Michael Jackson.
In just over a year, Thriller became—and currently remains—the best selling album of all time, with estimated sales between 65-110 million copies worldwide.
When Michael performed the Moonwalk for the first time at the Mowtown 25th Anniversary in 1983, sales of the album soared as he had the whole world amazed by his amazing dance routine.
Jackson transformed the medium of music video into an art form and promotional tool through the use of complex story lines, dance routines, special effects and cameo appearances by well known personalities. When the 14-minute-long Thriller video aired, MTV ran it twice an hour to meet demand. The short film marked an increase in scale for music videos and has been routinely named the best music video ever.
"Since mi childhood i dreamt to have the most sold disc. I worked hardly at the album Thriller, but it's true that only if you give everything, you can obtain something of goog quality. I tend to perfection: i work since i fall down. And this is the way i worked for this album. "
The Thriller album won a recording breaking 8 Grammy Awards.
"The girl from the song Billie Jean is a mixture of the bodies of those who made us troubles during years."
