Sorry scat.. lol Your waay off homie. The sales from the Thriller album alone is more than all those weaker albums combined. Not only that but the music is not as good and yeah I know thats subjective but its still the consensus among music writers and critics.
Maybe its beacuse your younger and you grew up when the later albums were out but as someone who lived through the release of ALL MJ solo albums I can tell you that the newer albums you love so much (LOL) are not as good overall. Matter of fact Thriller had more hits on that one album than any of those other ones did and still holds that record to this day as most hit songs at #1 off the same album.
And by the way Scream is a horrible song… and Black & white … srsly? Those are like his worst.
Sales do not make a great album.
Thriller did not sell that much off the song content alone.
It was the videos which sky rocketed the album and the Motown 25th Anniversary Performance of Billie Jean.
Bad sold something stupid too like 30 Mill and thats like his most CHEESIEST album to date.
I don’t know how you can say Black or White is one of his worst songs. In a world that is filled with racial hate and tension wherever you go, i think a simple statement like ” I don’t matter if you’re black or white ” is a very powerful statement indeed.
Oh and ‘Off The Wall’ is highly regarded as his best album musically and that also sold less than Thriller. Again Sales do not make a great album.
