  • Resumen

  • On April 30, 1983, Michael Jackson's legendary album "Thriller" broke a new record by becoming the first album to spend 37 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Released on November 30, 1982, "Thriller" was a groundbreaking album that revolutionized the music industry and solidified Jackson's status as the "King of Pop."

    Produced by Quincy Jones, "Thriller" showcased Jackson's incredible vocal range, dance moves, and songwriting abilities. The album featured a mix of pop, rock, R&B, and funk, with iconic tracks like "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller." These songs, along with their accompanying music videos, became cultural touchstones and remain widely celebrated to this day.

    The music video for "Thriller," directed by John Landis, was particularly groundbreaking. With a runtime of over 13 minutes, it was more like a short film than a traditional music video. The video featured Jackson as a werewolf and a zombie, showcasing his incredible dance skills and introducing the world to the now-famous "Thriller" dance routine.

    "Thriller" won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including Album of the Year. It has since been certified 33x Platinum in the United States and has sold an estimated 66 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of all time.

    The album's success on April 30, 1983, marked a significant milestone in Jackson's career and cemented his position as one of the most influential and successful artists in music history. "Thriller" continues to inspire and entertain listeners nearly four decades after its release, a testament to its enduring quality and Michael Jackson's unparalleled talent.
