And the greatest just became greater. Today, the RIAA announced that Michael Jackson’s iconic album Thriller (released in 1982,) just became the first album ever to be certified platinum a whopping 30 times in the United States. Worldwide, he’s at over 100 million for the project. Insane.

Check out a statement from RIAA chairman and CEO Cary Sherman below

“RIAA has awarded Gold & Platinum records on behalf of the music business for nearly 60 years, but this is the first time an artist has crossed the 30X multi-Platinum plateau. We are honored to celebrate the unique status of Thriller in Gold & Platinum history. What an exceptional achievement and testament to Thriller’s enduring spot in our hearts and musical history.”

I hate to admit this...

but they are right.

song for song...

1. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" may be a damn near perfect record
2. "Baby Be Mine" (recorded April – October 1982) ehh
3. "The Girl Is Mine" (featuring Paul McCartney) hate all you want but this was a great syrupy sweet 80s pop record...and still holds up.
4. "Thriller" (featuring Vincent Price) iconic but I would argue that it isn't even a "song"
5. "Beat It" (featuring Eddie Van Halen) Van Halen sucked but again this is more an EVENT than a song
6. "Billie Jean" perfection, period
7. "Human Nature" damn...you hate this you hate yourself, I think when critiquing music context is KEY
8. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" this was a BIG record and classic MJ
9. "The Lady in My Life" yeah well ok I don't got a good defense on this one

Baby Be Mine is the only subpar song on the album.

Classic album. I still recall my first time hearing the album. Got picked up at grade school with my Sikh friend by their pops. Believe he already owned the album on cassette tape or 8-track. Whatever it was ... we ran a few errands and stopped in at a place like Woolco or K-Mart. Something along those lines and they had a massive display for Thriller with the vinyl all lined up. We got back out to the car and drove off playing it on tape or 8-track. Straight jamming that shit ... even as a kid I knew that shit was HYPE! Shit ... looking back ... we were in pre-school or kindergarten at the time. Hilarious (1982/83).

Smart kid too. Went on to marry his high school sweetheart (big-tittied Filipina with serious DSLs & a toothpaste commercial smile). That cat is winning, haha.

Thriller vs Off the Wall falls into a realm that I go through with a lot of artists/groups I love. I think Thriller, overall, his best album, but Off the Wall is my favorite MJ album. In the same respect, I think Aquemeni is Outkast's best album but ATLiens is my favorite......Things Fall Apart is the Roots best album but Illadelph Halflife is my favorite....etc.

Congrats to The King! OTW is definitely more soulful/ organic but Thriller is more chancy and worldly. He released a lot of what I consider great material throughout his life. Even before OTW.

Got the Thriller album for Christmas as a kid. Never stopped playing it.:cool:

I'm a fan of Off The Wall also. I still listen to it... However, Props to the king on the achievement. His music stands the test of time. There are new generations listening to his music.
