Thriller 40th Anniversary

To wrap up the celebratory weekend, on Monday, Aug. 29, ticket holders attended a private brunch where Sony Music presented new Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certification plaques for four singles on the "Thriller" album. Both "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" received diamond certification, signifying the 10X platinum achievement. In addition, "Beat It" achieved 8X platinum certification and "P.Y.T." achieved 4X platinum achievement.

I like ‘Somebody’s Watching Me’, but I hope it isn’t one of the remaining tracks. It’s Thriller era, but we don’t want another compilation album..

Just be grateful the Estate doesn't pull some metaverse/nft shit like this one:


Just to be clear, I love them both and the original music video concept with animation was cool. But this was the whackest performance of the night (I'd say even in a long time). I think even the hologram from STTR had a better execution than watching some PS2 graphics video (with the performers singing from backstage instead of having them on stage the whole time).

Welcome to the metaverse lol
 
I found in Wikipedia the list of unreleased songs in thriller 40 is there is song called stand tall .and spice if life .plus hot street .sunset drive .carousel .
 
It is, we just found out that Stand Tall has no MJ vocals and MJ's version of Spice Of Life don't exist so none of that is real. I do believe we'll get Hot Street and Carousel though.

Do you all think that this will actually be released as a single tomorrow and possibly we might get word of more promo such as concerts? HD short films etc? Given how much interest was from the Elvis film I carnt wait to start to hear about the Michael Bio epic. Please before people comment on the fact that they don't want that or how bad it will be THINK of how well recieved Bohemium Rhapsody was and what it did for Queens/Freddie's catalogue.
I for one carnt wait for this to start and I understand that given the fact to get commercial sales and appeal to younger generation with this and forthcoming releases there will have to be some changes but as long as this happens tastefully and also the original how Michael left it is included then I am all good.
On another note I didn't see on here the fact that Michael once again got icon of all time on smooth fm but that's what got voted, beating my next icon I hold in high regard George Michael.
This can only do wonders for this promo and at last start to make the general public see the LN was just money grabbing again!

I have no idea about this admittedly, it's guess work on my part.

I'd guess Spice Of Life and Mystery got somewhat close to getting on Thriller, because when you look at the musicians who played on them tracks, they all worked on Thriller and not on any other Manhattan Transfer tracks on that record. I doubt they'd all come in for a couple of songs Rod wrote
 
Press release from Monday, August 29th 2022:

I’m only just now realizing how vague this wording is. So, we could learn the first title at any point over the next week or so. I’d imagine it would be every Monday.

The video is not an NFT but those are NFT characters, and the Estate has to be involved with the Metaverse world of the 'Michael Jackson Wonder World Toys' thats coming.

Stand Tall has no vocals? When was this ever confirmed?
 
How on earth will they know that? I'm sure it will be before Friday. Can anybody explain labour day for me? I checked thought it was labour weekend?
 
Friday would be the perfect day to release the 1st single, I'm sure it'll just be the title - we'll see.
 
We waited a lot till today so we have to wait again till 9 September I wish they did not release only leaks songs it will be very very bad waiting lot and getting songs we already know

Yeah, for a project aimed mostly towards hardcore fans the whole delayed reveal thing seems a bit misguided. They should have just revealed the track list honestly.
