Thriller (song)

Updated: 12/11/2025, 8:23:32 AM Wikipedia source

"Thriller" is a song by the American singer Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 11, 1983, in the UK and on January 23, 1984, in the US, as the seventh and final single from his sixth studio album, Thriller (1982). "Thriller" is a disco song featuring a synthesizer bassline, lyrics, and sound effects evoking horror films. It includes a spoken-word sequence performed by the horror actor Vincent Price. It was produced by Quincy Jones and written by Rod Temperton, who wanted to write a theatrical song to suit Jackson's love of film. The "Thriller" music video, directed by John Landis, depicts Jackson dancing with a horde of zombies. It has been named the greatest music video of all time by various publications and readers' polls, and doubled sales of Thriller, helping it become the best-selling album in history. Jackson decided to release "Thriller" as a single after Thriller left the top of the Billboard 200 chart. It became the seventh Thriller single to enter the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number four, and reached number one in Flanders, France, Portugal, and Spain, and the top ten in many other countries. In the week of Jackson's death in 2009, it was Jackson's bestselling track in the United States, with sales of 167,000 copies on the Billboard Hot Digital Tracks chart. It entered the Billboard Hot Digital Singles Chart at number two, and remained in the charts' top ten for three weeks. It appears on several of Jackson's greatest-hits albums. "Thriller" is one of the best-selling singles of all time and is certified diamond in the US. It has returned to the Billboard Hot 100 chart multiple times due to its popularity around Halloween.
