After dropping on Nov. 30 1982, within its first two years, Thriller went 20x platinum. 7 of the 10 singles off of Mike’s project were in the top 10, while three sat comfortably at the number one spot.

“RIAA has awarded Gold & Platinum records on behalf of the music business for nearly 60 years, but this is the first time an artist has crossed the 30X multi-Platinum plateau,” RIAA chairman and CEO Cary Sherman said in a statement. “We are honored to celebrate the unique status of Thriller in Gold & Platinum history. What an exceptional achievement and testament to Thriller‘s enduring spot in our hearts and musical history.”
