History of The Best Selling Album of All Time | Is Michael Jackson STILL No. 1?! | the detail.
On February 7th, 1984, Michael Jackson’s ’Thriller’ was declared the best selling album of all time after achieving sales of 25 million copies worldwide. In the 40 years since, its numbers have gotten murkier as Michael Jackson’s legacy and King of Pop status grew. Some sources say it’s achieved 60 or 66 million in sales, others tout outlandish figures as high as 120 million copies sold.
In this video, we look into the history of the best selling album of all time, how Michael Jackson achieved this, whether any other has come close to knocking him off his throne and what relevancy it still holds (if any) in today’s landscape of music?
