With Thriller, Michael Jackson Strived to Create an Album With Zero “B-Sides” or “Album Cuts”
August 22, 2024
In an interview with Ebony Magazine, Michael shares the inspiration behind making his Thriller album was the desire to have an album with no “b-sides” or album cuts: “I would always say to myself why can’t every one be like a hit song? Why can’t every song be so great that people would want to buy it or you could release it as a single, you know every one could be a single? So I always tried to strive for that and that was my purpose for the next album that I did.” Listen to Thriller 40 now. https://michaeljackson.lnk.to/Thriller40th
technically yes by the same company that restored Prince's videos, but it looked horrendous & the estate never released it properly. I cant find the thread, but it was a specific company's examples page that showed it.Was Billie Jean ever remastered?
Was Billie Jean ever remastered?

It looks fine to me. For an SDR clean up anyway.technically yes by the same company that restored Prince's videos, but it looked horrendous & the estate never released it properly. I cant find the thread, but it was a specific company's examples page that showed it.

Plus, I was trying to be restrained, lol. I love this tweet from youtubemusic bc not only is it a nice colourful celebration but it invites people to watch the video.thought it was appropriate to post this here. congratulationshope the same happens for the short version, which is the one I watch.

Michael Jackson’s Iconic ‘Thriller’ Music Video Surpasses a Billion Views on YouTube
Michael Jackson's 1983 music video for "Thriller" has surpassed one billion YouTube views.www.billboard.com
Also, I'm pointing out the obvious but ... three '1 billion views' videos from the same album! Gotta love that!thought it was appropriate to post this here. congratulations[...]
yeah but look at this picture qualityWas Billie Jean ever remastered?
oh, I enjoyed that. I disagreed with the statement about 1982 being a bleak year for pop music. Maybe it was in the US, that's not how I remember it for the UK. But it was a really nice walk down memory lane. Good editing, fabulous images of Michael.this is the first part of a new youtube series called ‘thriller forever’
I can’t help but think that the motown 25 performance of ‘billie jean’ would also have a billion views, if it was uploaded to the official youtube channel. instead we have multiple uploads in various quality, that are eventually taken down. it’s a shame because it’s his most important performance.Hope you don't mind but I have to post one more thing on this.

youtubemusic, billboard, worldmusicaward, thernbtalk (to name just a few) all posted congratulations. In the meantime, MJE was posting about the anniversary of Bad 25 which, fair enough, it was a good product but, I dunno, just seemed like an odd choice to make. Y'know, maybe post about both of those things on the same day? It's not like there's a daily limit or anything!![]()
Anyway ...

"I wanna thank @youtubemusic for acknowledging "Thriller" getting added to the 1 Billion club soon as it hit a billion viewes, thank you for not ignoring it like MTV did."
It's a bit of a mess, isn't it? Makes no sense to me. Motown 25 is such an iconic tv moment and, I agree, it's an immensely important part of Michael's story. I'll never understand MJE.I can’t help but think that the motown 25 performance of ‘billie jean’ would also have a billion views, if it was uploaded to the official youtube channel. instead we have multiple uploads in various quality, that are eventually taken down. it’s a shame because it’s his most important performance.
the second episode is out. it’s worth the watch for the second half of the video alone. it covers my favourite song ‘wanna be startin somethin’ in the best way I’ve ever heardthis is the first part of a new youtube series called ‘thriller forever’
I love how the first 4 singles released from ‘thriller’ were the ones that michael wrote himself:the second episode is out. it’s worth the watch for the second half of the video alone. it covers my favourite song ‘wanna be startin somethin’ in the best way I’ve ever heard
The thumbnail is confusing the hell outta me. It looks like MJ, but it also doesn’t. Help.the latest instalment of the ‘thriller forever’ series by ‘the detail’. this is hands down my favourite yet. it reinforces the fact that ‘billie jean’ is my favourite video & performancedoes anyone else think that this documentary should have its own thread, to make it easier to find?
Yes, but it's unstoppable, lolAin't we in the 42nd Anniversary of the album by now?
The streaming challenge is all set and ready to go, I think. Is that the same as a radio challenge? I'm now confusedI haven't heard about a Thriller radio challenge this year. Curious, what's going on there?
