Thriller — шестой студийный альбом Майкла Джексона. Выпущен на лейблe Epic Records 30 ноября 1982 года, через три года после выхода предыдущего коммерчески успешного и положительно принятого критиками альбома Джексона "Off the Wall". Thriller записан в таких жанрах, как поп, рок, постдиско, ритм-н-блюз и фанк. Продюсированием занимались Куинси Джонс и сам Джексон. Всего в альбоме девять треков, четыре из них были написаны самим певцом. Все семь синглов, выпущенных из "Thriller", попали в топ-10 чарта Billboard Hot 100. На церемонии вручения «Грэмми» 1984 года пластинка получила восемь наград: семь из них забрал Джексон, восьмую взял звукорежиссёр Брюс Свиден.
Эта пластинка позволила Джексону сломать расовые барьеры в поп-музыке: видео на песни «Thriller», «Billie Jean» и «Beat It» попали в регулярную ротацию на MTV. Альбом был одним из первых, использующих музыкальные видео в качестве успешного инструмента продвижения. Всего за год Thriller стал самым продаваемым альбомом всех времён и остаётся таковым до сих пор.
В 2003 году "Thriller" занял 20-е место в списке «500 величайших альбомов всех времён» по версии журнала Rolling Stone. В том же году он стал третьим в списке 200 Definitive Albums of All Time (по версии Национальной ассоциации продавцов звукозаписей). Альбом был включён в Библиотеку Конгресса как «культурно значимая запись», а видеоклип на песню «Thriller» — в Национальный реестр кинокартин как «культурно, исторически и эстетически значимый фильм». В 2012 году критики Slant Magazine поставили "Thriller" на первое место в своём списке «Лучших альбомов 1980-х».
В 2008 году альбом был включён в Зал славы премии «Грэмми».
Вышедшее в 2016 году переиздание на виниле одного из величайших поп-альбомов всех времен, "Thriller" Майкла Джексона. Издание в подарочном разворотном конверте (Gatefold).
Работа над альбомом велась в период с апреля по ноябрь 1982 года на студии Westlake Recording Studios в Лос-Анджелесе. Продюсированием занимались Куинси Джонс и сам Джексон. Всего в альбоме девять треков, четыре из них были написаны самим певцом. Все семь синглов, выпущенных из Thriller, попали в топ-10 чарта Billboard Hot 100. На три из них были сняты музыкальные видеоклипы. Эта пластинка позволила Джексону сломать расовые барьеры в поп-музыке: видео на песни «Thriller», «Billie Jean» и «Beat It» попали в регулярную ротацию на MTV. Альбом был одним из первых, использующих музыкальные видео в качестве успешного инструмента продвижения. Всего за год Thriller стал самым продаваемым альбомом всех времён и остаётся таковым до сих пор.

*****
Американский певец Michael Jackson родился в 1958 и умер в 2009 году. Считается самым успешным певцом в истории США, всего было продано 260 миллионов копий его пластинок. В активе музыканта сотни призов и наград, в том числе 15 премий Грэмми, а также его имя 13 раз попадало в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса. После своей смерти в 2009 году, Michael Jackson был официально признан Иконой Музыки и Легендой Америки.
За время своей экстраординарной карьеры Майкл Джексон продал свыше миллиарда релизов по всему миру, выпустил 13 синглов номер один и стал одним из немногих артистов, дважды внесенных в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Книга рекордов Гиннеса определяет Майкла Джексона не иначе как «Самый успешный артист всех времен». В случае артиста, чье наследие вдохновило несколько поколений любителей музыки и чьи альбомы становятся мультиплатиновыми даже после его ухода из жизни, даже такого громкого определения может быть недостаточно.

Американский певец Michael Jackson родился в 1958 и умер в 2009 году. Считается самым успешным певцом в истории США, всего было продано 260 миллионов копий его пластинок. В активе музыканта сотни призов и наград, в том числе 15 премий Грэмми, а также его имя 13 раз попадало в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса. После своей смерти в 2009 году, Michael Jackson был официально признан Иконой Музыки и Легендой Америки.
За время своей экстраординарной карьеры Майкл Джексон продал свыше миллиарда релизов по всему миру, выпустил 13 синглов номер один и стал одним из немногих артистов, дважды внесенных в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Книга рекордов Гиннеса определяет Майкла Джексона не иначе как «Самый успешный артист всех времен». В случае артиста, чье наследие вдохновило несколько поколений любителей музыки и чьи альбомы становятся мультиплатиновыми даже после его ухода из жизни, даже такого громкого определения может быть недостаточно.
