Michael Jackson’s legendary album Thriller is projected to make its way back into the top 20 on the US albums chart this week, following Halloween.
Every Halloween season, Thriller rises from the charts like a ghostly classic — and this year is no different. Michael Jackson’s 1982 masterpiece is projected to return to the top 20 on the US albums chart, proving once again that timeless music never dies.
The spike follows a wave of fan celebrations around Halloween, where the track “Thriller” dominated social media. From TikTok dances and costume tributes to fans replaying the Michael Jackson: The Experience game, MJ’s influence was everywhere this spooky season.
This resurgence comes right after Forbes named Jackson the highest-paid deceased celebrity of 2025, with an estimated $105 million earned in the past year. Even decades after his passing in 2009, his music, moves, and legacy continue to inspire generations. The King of Pop remains, undeniably, immortal through music.
