Thriller sold zillions – and, more important, it changed music. What are the most influential albums ever?

A quarter of a century ago, back when it was only his suit that was white, Michael Jackson released Thriller. He was already famous, of course, and had been for most of his life, first as a member of the Jackson Five, then as a solo artist. But Thriller was something else again. As its birthday is celebrated with the release of an expanded edition of the original album, we will doubtless hear a lot about just how many copies it has sold.

With the former Frank Sinatra arranger/ conductor Quincy Jones behind the mixing desk, Jackson fashioned an album that ranged from a pop duet with Paul McCartney (The Girl Is Mine) to a rock crossover with Eddie Van Halen on guitar (Beat It), alongside soul ballads (Human Nature) and funky R&B (Billie Jean). He then invested heavily (financially and creatively) in the promo videos. If you were setting out a strategy for making the biggest-selling album of all time – and Jackson has since claimed he was – this is how you would do it.

But the sales units aren’t what’s really important here (unless you’re a fading star desperate for royalties on your back catalogue to prop up an extravagant lifestyle). What matters is that Thriller redrew the map of pop. The most effective fusion of white and black popular music since Elvis Presley, Thriller took elements of pop, rock, soul and R&B, and melded them together to create something new.

Twenty-five years later, you can still hear the Thriller sound all over the charts, sometimes blatantly, as in the faithful recreations of Justin Timberlake, but, less overtly, in almost all of the chart-dominating music that looks for the middle course between pop and R&B: from Gwen Stefani’s whoops on The Sweet Escape to Rihanna’s rock guitars on Shut Up and Drive.

The collaborators and remixers on the expanded Thriller’s new tracks – Akon, Kanye West, Will.i.am – surely aren’t there because hooking up with Jackson is a great career move; they’re there because they know the debt they owe him.
The 20 bestselling albums
1 Michael Jackson, Thriller As thrilling today as it ever was.
2 Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin IV Still worth a listen? Ask the millions who fought for tickets last year.
3 Pink Floyd, The Wall The alienation of the modern world? Yup, still relevant.
4 AC/DC, Back in Black A great guitar riff never really goes out of fashion.
5 Shania Twain, Come on Over Er, actually, we’re kind of busy right now . . .
6 The Beatles, The Beatles (White Album) Its eclectic brilliance is still the target that ambitious bands aim for.
7 Fleetwood Mac, Rumours You can still feel the intra-band heartbreak behind the smooth pop songs.
8 Whitney Houston, Bodyguard OST You may think you’ve heard that song enough now.
9 Boston, Boston Has found its rightful home on classic rock stations.
10 Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill We thought it was going to be the beginning of a brilliant career. Oh, well.
11 Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti Many people’s favourite Zep album.
12 Eagles, Hotel California Overexposed, and soon to be over here again.
13 Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon - The album that shot the Floyd into the super league.
14 Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA - Far from his best work (try Nebraska), but still capable of setting off those “fist pumping in the air” reflexes.
15 Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever OST - Silly hair, silly voices, yet somehow magnificent.
16 Guns N’ Roses, Appetite for Destruction - It certainly sounds dated now; mind you, it sounded dated even then.
17 Santana, Supernatural - A remarkable resurgence late in his career, but head instead for the early albums.
18 Meat Loaf, Bat out of Hell - More is more.
19 Britney Spears, Baby One More Time - Back when she was a singer, not an increasingly distressing news story.
20 Prince, Purple Rain - Before the squiggles and record-company wrangles, he was capable of timeless genius.
The 20 most influential albums
1 The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico Hardly anybody bought it, as the saying goes, but everyone who did formed a band.
2 Beatles, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Created the idea of using the recording studio as an instrument.
3 David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars The arrival of postmodernism in rock’s most glamorous self-fulfilling prophecy.
4 Patti Smith, Horses Pioneered vast new territories for women in popular music.
5 Beach Boys, Pet Sounds The instrumentation, the harmonies, the arrangements, the sheer ambition.
6 Beatles, Revolver Goodbye “pop group”, hello “rock band”.
7 The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Are You Experienced? Shaped our sonic world – the template for guitar heroes everywhere.
8 Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited How does it feel? Like a whole new world just opened up.
9 Public Enemy, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Hip-hop comes of age.
10 Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks... Rendered the rock dinosaurs extinct (for a while).
11 Kraftwerk, Trans-Europe Express It sounded like the future then; eerily, it still does now.
12 Michael Jackson, Thriller The last quarter of a century of R&B starts here.
13 Nirvana, Nevermind Rendered the rock dinosaurs extinct (again).
14 NWA, Straight Outta Compton Created the template for gangsta rap.
15 Aretha Franklin, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You A soul masterpiece, and an album whose anthems radiated out into the wider culture.
16 Ramones, Ramones Rock’s ultimate palate-cleanser. Generations of punks started here.
17 Marvin Gaye, What’s Going On Motown finds its social conscience.
18 The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Gilded Palace of Sin It was largely ignored at the time, but where would alt-country be without it?
19 Bob Marley and the Wailers, Live! Reggae goes global.
20 Joni Mitchell, Blue Searching for sensitive singer-songwriters? Here’s the source.

Ich glaube, dass For All Time in Verbindung mit einem Film als Soundtrack (irgendeine Romanze zB; Hugh Grant etc.) bombastisch einschlagen könnte. Richtig überdimensional.

Als 'normale' Single gehen vielleicht Top10, aber mehr halte ich für äußerst schwierig.

amazon hat heute verschickt ... morgen hab ich sie endlich

wir auch

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Global anticipation for the release of Thriller 25, the newly expanded deluxe 25th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson's Thriller, the world's top-selling album of all-time, is already reaching a fever pitch across the planet with surprise hit singles, an ongoing 40-episode "ThrillerCast" podcast event, the premiere of the "Thrillicious" Sobe Life Water ad campaign at the Super Bowl, the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to Michael Jackson at the NRJ Music Awards at Cannes and a host of upcoming events and surprises.

Thriller 25 will be available stateside on Tuesday, February 12 and available around the world the week of February 11. The album debuts seven bonus tracks including new collaborations with Akon, Fergie, will.i.am and a Kanye West remix of "Billie Jean 2008."

The Michael Jackson Thriller 25th anniversary celebration runs throughout 2008 with a multi-faceted global marketing campaign featuring high-profile television, radio and online events around the world and the major re-launch of Michael's official website, Home: Michael Jackson

The first single from Thriller 25, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" featuring Akon, is a surprise smash hit impacting Pop, Rhythm and Urban radio stations across America with the single becoming the #1 On Demand song online for all Clear Channel Radio station web sites since its release on January 18.

One of the best-received commercial highlights of Super Bowl XLII was the premiere of "Thrillicious," PepsiCo Inc.'s Sobe Life Water spot starring supermodel Naomi Campbell and a cast of animated lizards busting out a series of fiercely choreographed dance moves to the tune of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

A competition has been launched for UK Michael fans to submit their own versions of the "Thriller" dance to YouTube.

Zitat

Thriller 25 closes with "For All Time," a nascent classic recorded by Michael during the original Thriller sessions in 1982 but never completed or released until now. Michael has added new vocals and band tracks to his original recording. Mixed by Mick Guzawski and newly-produced by Michael Jackson, "For All Time" provides a sublime and fitting close to this new, definitive edition of Thriller, the top-selling album of all time.

The Thriller 25 CD/DVD set will be available in three collectible editions: a standard version with the album's original cover art; a standard version with a new "Zombie" cover; and a deluxe edition in a hard-bound casebook format with a 48-page booklet. Both standard versions contain the CD and bonus DVD in a brilliant box with a rainbow holographic O-card and a 20-page booklet. Thriller 25 will also be available in the US as a Platinum MusicPass Album Card, a digital album card which will enable consumers to download Thriller 25, and special bonus content in the form of high-quality MP3 files.
