“Thriller,” known for having what is arguably the most significant music video (and dance moves) in pop culture, is the seventh and final single from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album that was released on November 5, 1983 in the U.K and on January 23, 1984 here in the U.S.

The original name for “Thriller”, composed by songwriter Rod Temperton, was “Starlight”. It was changed to “Thriller,” and the lyrics were rewritten shortly before re-recording. Rod had originally offered the song to his band, Heatwave, but they turned it down.

“Thriller” was another international hit, topping the pop charts in Belgium, France, Portugal, and Spain, while peaking at number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart. The single is certified Diamond in the US with more than 10 million sales and it also achieved multi-platinum status in Australia and Mexico. The trailblazing music video for “Thriller” was named by MTV as the Greatest Music Video Ever Made and it was inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2009.

“Thriller” is the song most strongly associated with the holiday of Halloween and often re-enters the Hot 100 every year during the holiday season. It is one of only two songs to chart every year because of a holiday, the other being Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You”.
