        To clarify since nobody seems to be capable of doing so: The Eagles’ “Greatest Hits” has only sold more than Thriller in the U.S. - NOT WW Thriller is still the biggest selling album of all-time.

        This makes no sense. Last Year, Thriller became the first album to be 33x platinum and the ONLY album to surpass 30x platinum. So you're trying tell me within a year, this album, released in 1976, gained over 8 million marks in US Sales. I smell a rat.

        million albums, and could be way more by now. But the thing is that Michael already said that in 2007 with his Thriller anniversary album, yet his corrupt estate and Sony waited years after he died to give him a plaque for it. And his album sales are over a billion. Why keep...

        lying like jealous children, media and music industry? This is one of the reasons why the media and music industry were trying to get rid of Michael because if he was still alive, he‘d STILL keep out selling people. Even greedy/ desperate ass Drake needed an unreleased song...

        ‘Thriller’ is still the Best-Selling Album of All Time globally with an estimated 70+ million copies sold worldwide. Ain't no damn way that many folks streaming "The Eagles". I call bull! Thriller is at 50x platinum. So middle finger.pic.twitter.com/B7uFm7nA7p

        No Eagles no Post Malone , no one actually surpassed Michael jackson. The king's birthday is around the corner and you are trying desperately to diminish MJ's achievements. some shady ppl u r. ur bigotry and discrimination towards MJ is no secret to people.

        What are you sorry for? The ongoing casual racism towards Michael Jackson? We don't forgive you. #THRILLER is, far and away, the largest selling album of all time.

        You can choose to believe that, of course, if it makes you feel better about yourself and your obsession, that's your call, but the facts and evidence prove otherwise, whether it suits you or not.
