Statement from MJ Estate Pg 12 #170 / New Yorker - Did Thriller Really Sell a 100 Million Copies?

I'm pumping up an old thread because this:
"Sylvia Rhone, the newly appointed President of Epic Records, kicked things off by recalling her own favorite Michael Jackson moment—when she was “the hottest chick on campus” at Penn University and got the chance to see The Jackson 5 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. She then introduced her boss, Epic Records Chairman/CEO Antonio “L.A.” Reid, who assured her that she was still the hottest chick in the place before calling up representatives of the Jackson estate and presenting them with a plaque so enormous it required two strong men to lug it onstage, commemorating over 100 million copies (and counting) sold of Thriller, the biggest selling album of all time. "

Shouldn't they update Thriller 30x Platinum or more? I think it is 29x now, correct me if I'm wrong.

^^That is a cool looking plaque, thanks for posting photo of it.
Do you have other photos of it? I cannot see what is written in the center text box thingy?

Someday it will be put in the Michael museum :yes:
 
of course Thriller sold over 100 millions albums! but it is not all just about numbers, other MJ albums are really great even if the sales are not that big....
 
^^ True.
Every singer/band has their own Thriller, the album in their catalogue that sold the most of all albums.
