Michael Jackson reaches new milestone 12 years after death

The legendary singer Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, of a cardiac arrest. The singer, who was 50-years-old, released ten studio albums and sold millions of records, some of which still remain as some of the best-selling albums of all time. This week, the late singer broke yet another boundary with his epic album Thriller.

Thriller is Michael’s sixth album, and arguably the one that catapulted him into superstardom.

It was released on November 30, 1982, and became the best-selling album worldwide in 1983.
