"Thriller" is a song by the American singer Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 2, 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.

The music video for "Thriller" references numerous horror films and stars Jackson performing a dance routine with a horde of the undead. Directed by horror director John Landis and written by Landis and Jackson, Jackson contacted Landis after seeing An American Werewolf in London (1981). The pair conceived a 13-minute short film with a budget much larger than previous music videos. Jackson's record company refused to finance it, believing Thriller had peaked, so a making-of documentary, Making Michael Jackson's Thriller, was produced to receive financing from television networks.

Michael Jackson's Thriller premiered on MTV on December 2, 1983. It was launched to great anticipation and played regularly on MTV. It doubled sales of Thriller, and the documentary sold over a million copies, becoming the best-selling videotape at the time. It is credited for transforming music videos into a serious art form, breaking down racial barriers in popular entertainment, and popularizing the making-of documentary format.

Many elements have had a lasting impact on popular culture, such as the zombie dance and Jackson's Thriller jacket, designed by Landis's wife Deborah Nadoolman Landis. The zombie dance, choreographed by Michael Peters for the music video, is re-enacted worldwide by fans and remains popular on YouTube. The Library of Congress described it as "the most famous music video of all time". In 2009, it became the first music video inducted into the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant. In September 2024, Michael Jackson's Thriller became the fourth Jackson video to reach one billion YouTube views.

thank you very much!

 

thanks

 

Thanks for the King / Obrigadão

 

thanks

 

Thank you very-very much! I can't figure out how you manage to sync video and audio so well. I've tried it many times with other artists' videos, and the audio very often runs away somewhere around the middle of the video (progressive asynchronization).

 

The same applied to this one. Had to lower the framerate from 24 to 23.976 fps (without re-encoding to keep the original quality)
