Michael Jackson's Thriller (music video). Michael Jackson's Thriller is a music video/short film for the Michael Jackson song "Thriller". It was directed by John Landis, written by Landis and Jackson, and released on December 2, 1983. In the video, which references numerous horror films, Jackson and his girlfriend (played by Ola Ray) are confronted by zombies while walking home from a movie theater.

Thriller is Michael Jackson's 6th studio album, released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982. Thriller became the best selling album of all time with an estimated 110 to 145 million copies sold worldwide. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (recorded April – November 1982). Baby Be Mine (recorded April – November 1982).

2011 Immortal Version. 2010 сингл Original Mix. Michael Jackson's This Is It. Michael Jackson. R&B - 100 Hits - The Greatest R n B album - 100 R & B Classics featuring Usher, Pitbull and Justin Timberlake.

Michael Jackson towered over the 1980s the way Elvis Presley dominated the 1950s, and here’s why. On Thriller, the child R&B star ripened into a Technicolor soulman: a singer, dancer and songwriter with incomparable crossover instincts. He and producer Quincy Jones heighten the sheen (The Girl Is Mine), pump up the theater (Thriller) and deepen the funk. But the most thrilling thing was the autobiography busting through the gloss: the hiss of denial on Billie Jean; the to-hell-with-haters strut of Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'. Jackson was at the peak of his art and adulthood.

At the time, Michael Jackson was one of the least frightening people on Earth, so the video had to sell it. John Landis, who worked on the 1981 movie An American Werewolf In London, was brought in to direct. Landis had Jackson turn into a Werewolf in the video. Thriller is by far the best selling album in the world. In the United States, it was overtaken by The Eagles Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, but reclaimed the title after Jackson's death. This was the last of seven US Top 10 hits from the Thriller album. The first single from the album, "The Girl Is Mine," reached its peak chart position of on January 8, 1983. The song "Thriller" was released over a year later, on January 23, 1984, peaking at on March 3. This lifespan of chart singles from one album was unprecedented, but so was the video for "Thriller.

Michael Jackson's Thriller is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by seven Top 10 . singles and eight Grammy Awards. The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by Thriller. The highly-polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, Thriller was significantly slicker than its predecessor, Off the Wall
