Thriller is the sixth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. It was released in 1982 and is the biggest selling album of all time.[1] Seven singles were released from the album. It won eight Grammy Awards, the most anyone has won at once.[2]
In 1979 Jackson released Off the Wall. It was very successful. However Jackson was not happy. At the 1980 Grammys he won one Grammy from the album. It was the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the single "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". Jackson said that "It was totally unfair that it didn't get Record of the Year and it can never happen again". When Jackson made Thriller he wanted it to be more successful than Off the Wall. Thriller won Record of the Year.
In October 2001 a special edition of the album was released. It has an extra twelve tracks.
