Thriller cemented Jackson's status as one of the predominant pop stars of the late 20th century, and enabled him to break down racial barriers via his appearances on MTV and meetings with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. The album was one of the first to use music videos as successful promotional tools—the videos for Thriller, "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" all received regular rotation on MTV.
There will never be another album like Thriller where do we begin. The album that started the video revolution with video's such as Billie Jean, Beat it and Thriller. The first artist to use music video as a promotional tool. The first album to spawn 7 top 10 singles. In it's peak the album sold a million copies a week. The album that defined the 80's, The album won Jackson a record-breaking seven Grammy Awards in 1984, including Album of the Year. The eighth Grammy went to Bruce Swedien. That same year, Jackson won eight American Music Awards, the Special Award of Merit and three MTV Video Music Awards. 2 years later Thriller was recognized as the world's best-selling album on February 7, 1984.
Who could forget the greatest peformance of all time, the peformance that left America star struck. The peformance that gave us 'The Moonwalk'. No peformance in terms of electricity will ever match the Billie Jean 'Motown Peformance'.
The peformance that broke down the racial bariers, the peformance that showed what a great dancer MJ is. Hailed by fans and critics alike as one of the 'Greatest Music Videos'.
