THRILLER HAS HIS FANS THRILLED
After “Off the Wall” went on to become commercially and critically successful in 1979, Michael released his sixth studio album on November 30, 1982 and was titled as “Thriller”. This album consisted of nine single tracks. Among them, the most memorable are “The Girl Is Mine” and “Billie Jean”. Till date, “Thriller” remains the highest selling album of all time with about 110 million copies sold worldwide. The recording sessions for the entire album went on for over seven months. Also, the budget for producing this album was a whopping $750,000. Of the nine tracks, four of them were written by Michael. And this spectacular album won eight Grammy awards in 1984. “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin” is another track that deserves special mention in this album as it received critical acclaim.
