That alone would have given the album a good shot at a huge audience, but it also arrived precisely when MTV was reaching its ascendancy, and Jackson helped the network by being not just its first superstar, but first black star as much as the network helped him. This was a record that had something for everybody, building on the basic blueprint of Off the Wall by adding harder funk, hard rock, softer ballads, and smoother soul - expanding the approach to have something for every audience. Nobody could have prepared anybody for the success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply unimaginable - an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial chart run, with seven of its nine tracks reaching the Top Ten (for the record, the terrific “Baby Be Mine” and the pretty good ballad “The Lady in My Life” are not like the others). This transfer looks divine on a variety of tee shirts, tank tops, baseball tees, and hooded sweatshirts, so choose the one that best celebrates the life and career of Michael Jackson, the undisputed King of Pop.Off the Wall was a massive success, spawning four Top Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared Michael Jackson for Thriller. This classic Michael Jackson transfer is a great, fashionable way to celebrate the King of Pop. The red jacket, the rhinestone glove, Bubbles the Chimp, the Moonwalk, and those highwater pants are all a part of the iconic Michael Jackson fashion. Songs like 'Thriller,' 'Billie Jean,' 'Bad,' 'Beat It,' 'Rock With You,' 'Black and White,' 'Dirty Diana,' 'Man In the Mirror,' 'Wanna Be Startin Something,' 'The Girl Is Mine,' 'Smooth Criminal,' 'Remember The Time,' and 'Heal The World' are well-known to everyone. 'Billie Jean' was the first video by an African-American artist to air on MTV. In 1984, Michael Jackson became the first person to win a record eight Grammy Awards in one year, the most ever won by a single artist). From that day forward, Michael Jackson was known by the title he deserved, 'The King of Pop.' 'Thriller,' 'Bad,' and 'Dangerous' each produced seven Top 40 hits. However, there is only one name that anyone could say after the 'Thriller' album dropped in November of 1982. Names like John, Paul, George, Ringo, Mick, Keith, Madonna, Cher, and Elvis have all become so familiar they do not even need their last names.
