Honestly, Thriller as a whole album didn't have much impact. The music video of Thriller had amazing impact but that's it.
BEYONCÉ's album is not only better than Thriller but debatably had more impact. Releasing a "Surprise Album" is pretty much engraved as "doing a Beyoncé" now.
The poll right now is just Beyoncé haters and people who think anything MJ did was perfect because he's a legend. Most people voting Thriller probably can't name more than 4 songs on the album that aren't Thriller without using Google.
The music on Thriller has stood the test of time and still had recurrent airplay. Even the songs that weren't singles. The music on BEYONCE however will not stand the test of time because the music on it is just music for the time, not timeless classsics like Thriller. The way she released the album is more discussed than the actual music and that's why it can never be compared to Thriller.
What impact are you talking about? Isn't Katy Perry outselling BEYONCE
With every single she releases and outselling her weekly now.
The impact is real
To be fair BEYONCE was a DIGITAL release for a good 2 weeks before anyone got their hands on a physical copy so everyone already had every song + video so her singles aren't gonna be that big

Sis - do you honestly think that 30 years from now that people are going to be able to name 4 songs off BEYONCE?

FROZEN begs to differ.
Everyone owns the DVD yet they decide to buy
The album, that's IMPACT in 2014 not some front loaded sales.
i mean Drunk In Love and Pretty Hurts seem like classics though
Drunk in Love is just another run of the mill hip hop/r&b collaboration with the same repetitive beat that's been used in other hip hop songs. Nothing forward thinking about it. And Pretty Hurts is corny and recycles the same message evident in the superior Unpretty by TLC. Again nothing forward thinking. Nice songs but that's it.
