We can't deny that Michael Jackson is one of the biggest superstars of our time. He has sold more than 750 million albums worldwide and created an era of dance style that is still present in music today.
Sure he likes little boys, sure he has had more plastic surgery than Cher, sure he got away with molesting a little boy, and sure he claims to be straight but through all the doubts we have of him as a person he still has credit of an artist.
It's been 25 years since the release of the biggest selling album of all time "Thriller" and he has re-released the album with the help of some of todays biggest singers (Fergie, Wil.I.AM, and Akon). Thriller sold 166,000 copies last week, pretty impressive for a catalog album containing no new songs. Since it was catalog, the album could not chart on the Billboard Top 200 but it did debut at #1 on Billboard's Catalog chart.
Michael has hinted of a comback but I doubt that will happen. People still remember the Michael of yesterday and want nothing to do with todays Michael Jackson. Will Michael still Thrill us in years to come, or will he have to just Beat It?
