Thriller was 1984??  Now I'm confused.  I saw Say Say Say listed in 1983 and I could have sworn that Say Say Say came out after Thriller???

I always thought Say Say Say came before Thriller also, but it came from McCartney's album 'Pipes of Peace' which was released while Thriller was still throwing singles into the charts.  Thriller was the 7th and final single taken from the album of the same name.  It peaked on the charts in February of '84

you mean after Thriller?  I always thought Say Say Say was several months after Thriller.


After Thriller yes.  LOL

Say Say Say peaked in October of 1983.  I'm thinking that maybe Thriller wasn't going to be a single at first, which is why Say Say Say was released before

Damn, 1984 was (to me, at least) a great year for 80s music. Too many honorable mentions to count!!! lol
