Thriller (Released November 8th 1982) is not just Jackson's biggest selling album, it is the biggest selling album by any artist ever! Thriller was the follow up to the commercially successful and widely critically acclaimed album 'Off the Wall'.

Thrillers themes became a little bit darker however, with reference to Paranoia and the Supernatural.

Following the release of the albums second single, Billie Jean, the album topped the charts in many countries and at its peak was selling 1 million copies per week worldwide. In just over one year the album became the best-selling album of all time. As of date, it is believed to have sold around 109 million copies. An astonishing 7 of the 9 tracks on the album were released as singles and the album won a record breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984.

The second disc formed what was effectively an album of new songs with the exception of one.

HIStory may only be Jackson's fourth biggest selling album, but it reached the history books (no pun intended!) by becoming the best selling multiple disc album ever. The album was the winner of one Grammy award.
