Hi all! I've been following the MJ Twitter community since the summer and there is a big push on there to get Thriller (the song) to the top of the Billboard charts from October 28 - November 3rd. Last year the song peaked at #19, which gave MJ a new record (if I understand correctly) for being the only artist with 6 decades of top 20 hits (7 if you count his J5 work). Getting Thriller to #1, or even just top 10 this year, would be incredible and break even more records.
Anyway, today the fans behind the campaign debuted a website celebrating Thriller 40 and the goals of the Thriller 40 challenge. Check it out here: https://www.thriller40.com/challenge/
While Billboard only considers American purchases/streams/radio play, the organizers of this campaign are encouraging international fans to stream Thriller like crazy too and also contribute to this Billboard effort by requesting Thriller on American radio. More on this on the website itself.
Regardless of how possible it will be to reach this goal, I find it inspiring and pretty incredible how hard this fan community works for Michael's legacy. The website is beautiful and the passion of this group of fans is just incredible. So if nothing else, please check this out!
