Michael's Thriller is the third best-selling album of all time in France after French albums D'eux (Celine Dion) and Samedi soir sur la terre (Francis Cabrel). That makes Thriller the best-selling English album ever there.

Both Dangerous and Bad have topped 2M in sales putting them in the Top 20 best-selling albums in France ever, too, and Thriller, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory are all Diamond-certified (1M) though have sold much more than that. LEGEND!

I love this rehearsal

[stevyy]

I love MJ so much. I miss him so much. Had he not died, i believe he would have slayed even harder than in his death. London would have been so incredible. He may have released another great album... agreed to perform here n there and would have slowly cleaned his house after his success and global adoration gabe him back his confidence.

He still has no competition, we won't ever find his musical heir bc it is as simple as that... he was an original. Many artists of today a mere clones of somebody else. MJ popularized music itself. you can't get any more impactful and original than that.

[OffTheWall]

I finally saw the entire Off the wall documentary today, I loved it

[AlphaOmega]

Off the Wall is so incredible.

[Hey Gurl Hey]

I recently got Dangerous and Invincible on vinyl and I absolutely adore them. I also bought HIStory on iTunes but really want the vinyl version but it's like 200-300 online

Guys, I'm feeling so sad tonight and since Prince's death. It takes me back to 2009. It's been already 7 years... I don't even know if anything has changed. Life's passing by infront of my eyes. I'm about to release one of my dreams this year and I can't believe it's real. 2009 and 2010 were horrible years for me. Literally crying everyday I thought I was not going to make it. Mj's music helped me so much. He as a person helped me so much. This may sounds corny but he gives me hope. I just love him so much. Discovering him was one of the best things in my life no joke. I don't think I would still be here today if it wasn't for his music. I feel like listening to him opened me to the world in a way...

Also, am I the only one who feels angry sometimes? I'm mad at him because he gave up. He gave up music, he gave up on his health... things could have been so different, I don't believe in GOD but damn, this man was born for something. The last decade of his life was such a mess, it makes me so MAD. I saw pictures of Paris the other day and I told myself "how could he leave them?". I know he lived too much things but he was a strong....

I can't believe I'm writing this omg but I needed it .

I felt this way for so ****ing long. But the fact that he was being targeting by press every day and lawsuits every week by people wanting easy payouts... he must have been drowning every moment and could only numb his pain with sedatives. For so long after I got over the initial shock and sadness I was angry. This song best described how I felt weirdly:

You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?

....

You've got a heart as loud as lion
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away

....

At night we're waking up the neighbors
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered, yeah
'Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all the rules

....

Let's get the TV and the radio
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend

He fought his entire life after Thriller/Bad for the right to be black with a disease that made his skin paler, for the right to try and recapture his stolen childhood by simply being childlike, for the right to make mistakes, for the right to his own freedom and good name by trying to squash disgusting allegations, for the right to privacy every single day he lived, for the right to have a family, for the right to be left alone...

He fell after fighting for decades. His treatment is like nobody else - negative commentary was his only coverage and it was so intense all over the globe. His was always referred to with pejoratives and slurs even in articles about his music and charity work. Finally he fell after trying to numb himself into rest so he could perform one last set of shows. He did fight hard, but the roar of the lynch mob had decided his fate decades before.

The fact that he still cared for his loyal fans until the end says it all about his character.

I hate my smile, but I'll do it for you.

[Almodusa]

I actually listened to the Thriller and Bad albums in full for the first time a few days ago

Great albums, nothing bored me. King.

Six from being seven years gone

Lord, I hate June and now even more. I'm so tired of all of this.

For anyone in any doubt...

Seven years ago this coming Saturday, the world lost an amazing artist and humanitarian devoted to helping children in need in all corners of the world. Michael Jackson's fans, including the Executors of his estate, prefer to remember the wonderful gifts Michael left behind instead of having to once again see his good name dragged through the mud by tabloid trash.

Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls "content that appears to be obtained off the Internet or through unknown sources" is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael's passing. Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy internet "click bait" ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the 14 salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt.

Michael remains just as innocent of these smears in death as he was in life even though he isn't here to defend himself. Enough is enough.

The Estate of Michael Jackson

I wish the Estate would start putting the newly earning billions to work and begin ending publications that think they can throw Michael's name around like this.

[Rusty]

Seven years. God it seems like an eternity since the world lost the biggest star it had.

[OffTheWall]

Wow 7 years already

I Can't Help It is my most played track on Off The Wall.
Endless vibe.
