The same can be said for Bey and the way albums are released today

[CENTER]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. [/CENTER]

100 million records sold girl, please stop.

Many people have said that they plan to o so but that's the problem, their announcing it ahead of time

Thriller inspired every pop star that walks God's green earth.

Physical music sales were different back then. Let's not please. It's like comparing apples to stale oranges.

If there was some magical way we could count music stream and real world/social media impact and gauge that into sales, Bey would be on par or close to MJ's "100 million records sold"

Not here for the blind MJ bandwagoning just because he's a legend. I don't even care for Bey that much but I can see there's a real comparison here. Stop taking sales and thinking it's impact. Songs go 5x platinum and are forgotten the next week. Sales don't mean as much as they used to.

Beyoncé of course

Jackson transformed the medium of music video into an art form and promotional tool through the use of complex story lines, dance routines, special effects and cameo appearances by well known personalities.

For a black artist in the 1980s to that point, Jackson's success was unprecedented. According to The Washington Post, Thriller paved the way for other African-American artists such as Prince.

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

Yes, people actually had to go to the record store to buy a song/album they really liked. 100 million people bought Micheal's record.
