When people think of Michael Jackson Thriller a lot of things come to mind. Thriller was Jackson’s sixth album that he ever put out. This album was released worldwide in nineteen eighty two. This album came after his other famous album off the wall which came out in nineteen seventy nine.
Thriller is a lot like off the wall because it explores some of the same kind of music like R&B and pop. The production of thriller was one of the most exciting albums that Jackson ever put out and as of two thousand and seven it has sold a whopping sixty five million copies, just in that year.
As a result of his fathers affair and child Jackson grew deeply depressed in this time. He was stated as saying he was lonely and that all he did was sit in his room and cry. He confided in one of his friends that he wanted to be the biggest and the richest singer in the world.
In nineteen eighty Jackson asked Rolling stone to do a magazine cover for his album “Off the wall” and rolling stone declined which made Jackson upset. He stated that rolling stone told him that black people on the front of magazine covers do not sell well. And Jackson said “just wait, some day the magazines would be begging me for an interview”.
With a budget of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to work with, this album was recorded between April and November of nineteen eighty two. Thriller was recorded at West-lake recording studios in Los Angeles California. With the help of Quincy Jones, Micheal Jackson wrote four out of nine songs that were on the Thriller album. And seven of the nine songs were also released as singles before the actual album came out.
Between Jackson’s release of off the wall and Thriller he was going through many problems with his family. Jackson’s father began an affair with a woman that was twenty years his youth in nineteen seventy three, and this in turn resulted in a child. Then in nineteen eighty his father finally told his family about the child. Michael was already mad at his father over the child abuse that he had gone through. After all this Jackson still was able to produce the biggest selling album of all time, which he called “Thriller”.
