What makes the the best-selling album of all time so good?
Michael Jackson has been hailed as “The King of Pop”, and the sales on his sophomore album Thriller, coupled with his status gained from subsequent releases seem to justify that title and then some. But what exactly caused this album to go stratospheric, especially considering it’s release at a time when the radio airwaves were growing less and less diverse? Michael’s experiences with his family as part of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, as well as his debut solo album Off The Wall with Quincy Jones must have led to the culmination of his masterwork in 1982. Join me as I delve into the biggest, most “thrilling” album of all time on The Nightfly.
