Michael Jackson
In 1982 Michael Jackson, one of the biggest superstars the world has ever known, released the single and album Thriller. It went on to sell more than 40 million copies worldwide and is the best selling album of all time.

The 14-minute video for Thriller broke new ground portraying Jackson as a master of dance, a magician who could transform lives, and a shadowy figure who lived outside the everyday world.
