Michael wanted to follow up Off the Wall with an even bigger album. This was
going to be quite the task. He worked with Quincy Jones again and in late 1982
released the album Thriller. The album was a huge success. lt had seven top ten
singles and won eight Grammy awards. Eventually, Thriller would become the
bestselling album of all time. Michael had now become the biggest star in the
music industry. In addition to the music on Thriller, Michael also broke new ground
with his music videos. Up until that time, most music videos just showed the band
or singer performing the song. Michael wanted to create a story with his videos.
These new types of music videos became very popular and changed the way
music videos were made. The most famous of his videos was a 13 minute long
video for the album's title song Thriller. lt was later voted as the most influential
music video of all time.
