Michael Jackson‘s ‘Thriller,’ the biggest selling album of all time, is set to thrill on in celebration of its latest milestone.
Full story below…
As reported, this November brings with it the 40th anniversary of the game-changing LP – which is home to classics such as ‘Billie Jean,’ ‘Beat It,’ and its titan-sized title track.
Aptly christened ‘Michael Jackson Thriller 40,’ the special edition release of the project will include a bonus CD of rarities, demos, and more.
Now, in tandem with the launch of pre-order availability, Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson have announced specific roll-out plans.
It’ll see the titles of the ten bonus tracks revealed one at a time, beginning after Labor Day (September 5) with the last track being revealed close to the double CD’s official release on November 18.
Furthermore, 15 additional tracks (which have been in a limited capacity in the past) will also feature in an expanded digital incarnation of ‘Thriller 40.’
And there are broader plans to ensure a seismic celebration of the LP – which won 8-GRAMMYs and forever changed the course of music, videos, and Pop culture. Single-handedly.
For, global pop-up events and activations are in the works too.
Unleashed on November 30, 1982, ‘Thriller’ has sold over 100 million copies and spent over 500 weeks on the Billboard album charts.
King tings!
