"Thriller" is a 1984 hit single
recorded by Michael Jackson for the Epic label. In
the U.S., it reached number four on the Billboard
Hot 100 singles chart and number one on the Radio &
Records singles charts, while in the UK, it peaked
at number ten. On February 20, 2006, the single, as
well as the video, was re-released as part of the
Visionary: The Video Singles package. The 14-minute
video is regarded by MTV as the greatest music video
of all-time, and the song itself is considered to be
one of Jackson's signature songs. The single was
released slightly earlier in the United Kingdom, in
November 1983.
The song remains popular as evidenced by sales of
over 1,159,000 digital downloads in the U.S. alone
and regular returns to the Billboard Hot Digital
Songs chart, since the chart's inception in 2005.
