8. Michael Jackson’s Thriller Goes Platinum 30 Times
In December of last year, the Recording Industry Association of America gave a posthumous honor to the King of Pop for hitting the milestone of 30. Thriller, Jackson’s most famous album which included hits to this day “Beat It,” Billie Jean” and “Thriller,” hit 100 million sales. After its released in 1982, it stayed on the Billboard album chart at No. 1 for 37 weeks.
Led Zeppelin came in close second with 23 for Led Zeppelin IV, but it’s apparent no one buys albums anymore. In 2014, for instance, not one album saw Platinum status. Seems the King of Pop will remain the King until the end of time.
