In 1981, Michael Jackson was on top of the world. His album "Off the Wall" had just been released and was performing exceptionally well. However, Jackson was eager to push the boundaries of his music and create something even more groundbreaking.
"Thriller" was released on November 30, 1982. The album was an instant commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and staying there for 37 weeks. It produced seven top-10 singles, including two number-one hits: "Billie Jean" and "Beat It."
