Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' is First Album to Sell 30 Million in the U.S.
Thriller will never be over. While Michael Jackson's 1982 album has sold more than 100 million copies around the world, it's now become the first LP to go 30 times platinum in the United States. That's almost 10 percent of the country's current population.
"Jackson's Thriller was released Nov. 30 1982 and spent nearly 2 1/2 years on the Billboard album chart with 37 weeks at No. 1, holding the modern day record," Billboard reports.
