Michael Jackson “Thriller” Greatest Album Ever According To MTV Poll

Michael Jackson’s 1983 LP Thriller has been named the “Greatest Album Ever” in a new poll from MTV. The pop superstar’s Quincy Jones-produced album–which featured hits like “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Thriller,” and “The Girl Is Mine”— is the world’s best-selling album and dominated a poll of MTV viewers.

“I don’t think there’ll ever be another album like it in the history of music,” says MTV Base presenter Trevor Nelson. “There will never be a marriage of producer and artist, or songwriting and pop sensibility like that again. Due to the way people buy records now, there’ll never be an album that sells as many copies.”

More than 40,000 votes were cast by fans asked to choose their favorite album since 1981 from a shortlist of 26 LPs. The final list was then compiled by music industry experts from MTV’s three UK channels - MTV2, VH1 and MTV Base.

Thriller award.

'King' ascendent: Michael Jackson wasn't yet known as the "King of Pop" when he collected eight Grammys for his "Thriller" album.

Michael Jackson set a Grammy record Tuesday night by finishing first in eight categories in the record industry's 26th annual awards ceremony.

The victories during a nationally televised program at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles shattered the Grammy mark of six established by Roger Miller in 1965, the year his "King of the Road" dominated charts.Accepting the best album award for "Thriller" early in the program, a nervous and generally taciturn Jackson, said, "This is a great honor…I'm very happy."When he later picked up the record-breaking Grammy, the 25-year-old pop sensation took off his dark glasses in a victory salute.

The awards show was held on the same stage where Jackson suffered second- and third- degree burns Jan. 27, when his hair caught fire during the taping of a television commercial.Jackson, whose "Thriller" is the biggest-selling album ever at 27 million, was also cited for best record ("Beat It") and as best vocalist in three areas: pop, rock and rhythm and blues.He also won best children's album ("E.T. the Extraterrestrial"), best rhythm and blues song ("Billie Jean") and best record producer, an award he shared with Quincy Jones.Jackson's sweep overshadowed the four victories in the classical competition by Sir Georg Solti. The awards gave Solti a career total of 23 Grammys, three more than the former leader, Henry Mancini.
