Michael Jackson – Thriller -is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson, released on November 29, 1982 by Epic Records. It was produced by Quincy Jones, who had previously worked with Jackson on his 1979 album Off the Wall. With 32 million copies sold worldwide by the end of 1983, Thriller became the best-selling album of all time. It was the world's best-selling album of 1983, and in 1984 it became the first album to be the best-selling album in the United States for two years. With its songs, music videos, and promotional strategies, it set industry standards and influenced artists, record labels, producers, marketers, and choreographers. The success gave Jackson an unprecedented level of cultural significance for a Black American, broke racial barriers in popular music, earned him regular airplay on MTV, and led to a meeting with US President Ronald Reagan at the White House. Thriller was among the first albums to use music videos as a promotional tool. The videos for "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller" are credited with transforming music videos into a serious art form. Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, selling 70 million copies worldwide. It is the best-selling non-compilation album and second best-selling album overall in the United States and was certified 34× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021. It won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, while "Beat It" won Record of the Year.
