Hi There!

If I'm right, Thriller was one of the first videos that MTV aired as a worldwide premiere on Dec 2, 1983. It was viewed in over 150 million homes, which at the time, was a tremendous number to watch a music film.  ;) I myself love the video and think even today, it's still very innovative, because the video actually had a storyline, rather than just a random performance.


I hope I helped.  ;D

If you have anymore Michael Jackson questions, please place them in my MJ thread in the Ask me part of the forum.  :)

Cute answer Whisteldog. I don't think there's that many people on earth.  ;)

the firt time i watched thriller was in switzerland in a cosy log home. I was 11. It was late at night, my parents already asleep. My brother and i watched it and we really got a good scare. the wood of the log home would crack here and there which let us believe that the zombies are acutally in the house. javascript:void(0);

I saw Thriller for the first time in 1993 when I was about 6 years old. (I wasn't into him at the time, I still slept with a New Kids on the Block blanket) and I just remember it scared the tar outta me.  ;D I watchedc it at my cousin's house.

I don't know how many times I've watched it over the years. Hundreds of times, I'm sure.  :) I can do the Thriller dance.  ;D (And the Moonwalk)

I don't think it would be the same as the 80s music video.

Even if another album beats it in sales, it will go in history as the first album, ever, to reach/sell 30 million copies.  :o  :o  :o  :o  :o

I should be more specific. It was the first album to ever sell 30 million copies, in the US, alone.

I was 7 or 8 when Thriller came out. I didn't see it on tv, but I would rent the "Making of Thriller" all the time from my local comic book store (which had a vhs rental section). I was obsessed. Used to wear a scary mask and learn the routine. There's a photo of me in the garden with all my gear on mid-dance.  ;D

I remember as a kid in the 90s, the Thriller had a slightly "before my time" but timeless feel because there was next to nothing else like. I sorta feel the same way today. The video just seems even more timeless because I'm literally decades away since my first viewing of the video.
