While January is only just coming to a close, it’s great to see that Michael’s “Thriller” album continues to be a strong seller into 2023, after the 40th anniversary re-release in November.

The physical sales so far this year puts “Thriller” at the fifth best selling album of the year so far. At number one is Taylor Swift’s latest album.

This shows how the biggest selling album in the world continues to captivate audiences generations after its initial release. The success can also be attributed to the previously unreleased material on the 40th anniversary album. Fans have flocked to these releases, eager to get their hands on new material from the late icon.

Despite more than a decade since Michael’s passing, his legacy continues to live on through his music. His timeless sound and electrifying performances, such as the 1983 “Motown 25” have cemented his place as one of the greatest artists of all time.
