Thriller

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

1. Why is Thriller the biggest-selling album evar*?

2. Do you think anything will ever outsell it?

*There's no official documentation of this but nobody I've found seriously disputes it either. Wikipedia suggests the worldwide gap between it and the next-biggest selling is something like 60 million copies, though I personally am suspicious of the "100 million" figure.

i doubt it's flatlined, if you mean "no one buying it anymore" -- think of that youtube video of philippino prison inmates doing the zombie choreography: obviously if yr a philippino prison inmate yr possibly slightly less bothered by "guilt by association" (seeing as it is trumped by definition actually having been found guilty yrself) but this still implies it is a meme with juice in it... esp.outside the anglo gossipsphere
