Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the First Album Certified RIAA 30X Multi-Platinum

**VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL ABAJO**

MICHAEL JACKSON’S THRILLER IS THE FIRST ALBUM CERTIFIED RIAA 30X MULTI-PLATINUM, THE KING OF POP MAKES HISTORY (AGAIN)!

THRILLER REMAINS THE BIGGEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, TOPPING 100 MILLION SALES WORLDWIDE

29vh_RIAATHRILLERSOCIALMEDIASHAREIMAGE12915_1

LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 16, 2015 – The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Estate of Michael Jackson, Epic Records and Legacy Recordings announced today that Michael Jackson’s THRILLER is the first album in RIAA Gold & Platinum Program history to be certified 30X multi-Platinum for U.S. sales, continuing The King of Pop’s reign as the biggest selling artist of all time with worldwide sales of over 100 million for Thriller and 1 billion overall.

LINK TO ARTWORK HERE.

“RIAA has awarded Gold & Platinum records on behalf of the music business for nearly 60 years, but this is the first time an artist has crossed the 30X multi-Platinum plateau,” said Cary Sherman, Chairman & CEO, RIAA. “We are honored to celebrate the unique status of Thriller in Gold & Platinum history. What an exceptional achievement and testament to Thriller’s enduring spot in our hearts and musical history.”

Michael Jackson’s masterpiece Thriller, produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, won a record setting 8 Grammys, more than any album ever, and has been earning awards and setting new standards of success since its release on November 30, 1982. Thriller spent nearly 2 ½ years on the Billboard album chart and holds a modern day record of 37 weeks at No. 1. It was the first album in history to spend each of its first 80 weeks in the album chart’s Top 10, a feat only reached by one other album in the more than three decades since. During its 112^th week on Billboard’s album chart, it became the first title ever to be certified RIAA 20X multi-Platinum (October 30, 1984). Worldwide, Thriller went to #1 in practically every country in the world, including the UK, France, Italy, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, South Africa, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and apartheid South Africa.

The album was acclaimed for its range and depth. Rolling Stone referred to the album as a “watershed” moment for Michael, and Newsweek prophetically wrote that “Michael’s voice haunts these songs, gives them heart…It is what will make this music endure.” Seven tracks from the album became Top 10 singles, and three, “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” and “Thriller,” went No. 1. ALL nine assumed a permanent place in hearts and memories of everyone on the planet.

More than just an album, Thriller has remained a global cultural multi-media phenomenon for both the 20^th and the 21^st centuries, smashing musical barriers and changing the frontiers of pop forever. The music on Thriller is so dynamic and singular that it defied any definition of rock, pop or soul that had gone before. “Beat It” was a new kind of pop-rock hybrid and demolished the longstanding segregation between black and white music with Eddie Van Halen’s incendiary guitar. On “The Girl Is Mine,” a black man and a white man bantered about the same girl. On the same album were songs like the African-rooted “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” and the rhythm and blues-based “Billie Jean.” No one had ever released an album with such a vast range of material.

“Perhaps Michael’s most significant racial trailblazing came with music videos,” wrote Joe Vogel in Man in the Music. Fascinated with the fledgling art form, Michael wanted to tell a story and entertain on a grand scale. Despite the luscious cinematography, dramatic narrative and spectacular choreography of “Billie Jean,” a fledgling MTV, which was programming white rock artists almost exclusively, refused to play it. Epic persisted. Once the wall came crashing down, MTV’s ratings soared and a door was opened for a generation of African American artists. “He was MTV’s Jackie Robinson,” said cultural critic Touré. Next, came the unforgettable short film for “Beat It,” which featured Michael bringing two gangs together through the power of music and dance. And then there was “Thriller.” Premiered at the AVCO Theatre in Los Angeles in 1983, it sold out every night for three weeks. No other video before or since has generated such excitement and has such a hold on our attention, such that more than 30 years later we all share it as a collective memory and it remains the only music video to be inducted into the elite National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

The importance of Thriller was recognized by Michael Jackson’s industry peers at the Grammys. Thriller was nominated in a record-breaking 12 categories, and won a history making eight, which stands as the record for most Grammy Awards to be won by any album. Seven of those Grammys that year were awarded to Michael for: Album of the Year; Record of the Year (“Beat It”); Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (“Thriller”); Best Engineered Recording, Non-Classical (Thriller); Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (“Beat It”); Best Male R&B Vocal Performance (“Billie Jean”); Best R&B Song (“Billie Jean”). (Michael’s eighth Grammy that year was in the Best Recording for Children – Single or Album, Musical or Spoken category for “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”). That same year, Michael Jackson took home eight American Music Awards and three MTV Video Music Awards. The following year, “The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller” took home the Best Video Album trophy at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards.

During his extraordinary career, Michael Jackson sold more than a billion records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and “Thriller” as the World’s Top-Selling Album of All Time. His artistry, choreography and music continue to inspire generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists and fans.

“It is crystal clear that Michael Jackson is simply the greatest, and biggest artist of all time,” says LA Reid, Chairman & CEO of Epic Records. “Not only are his charts hits and sales stats staggering, but his pure musicality was other-worldly. Thriller was groundbreaking and electrifying…it was perfection. I am extremely proud that Michael is the heart and soul of Epic Records and he will forever remain the one-and-only King of Pop.”

“100 million albums and counting. There has never been a phenomenon like Thriller,” says John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson. “Michael opened the floodgates of his creativity, explored emotional depths and pushed the boundaries of sonic innovation. In the process, he breached destructive barriers in the music industry and literally united the world through his music: there isn’t a place on this planet that hasn’t been exhilarated by the music of Michael Jackson. Thirty years after its release, Thriller continues to be a revelation.”

Music from Thriller and Michael’s other hit albums is featured in the hit Las Vegas show Michael Jackson ONE, produced by Cirque du Soleil and the Estate of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson ONE is selling out shows and amazing fans at the Michael Jackson ONE Theatre at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.

EL ÁLBUM THRILLER, DE MICHAEL JACKSON, ES EL PRIMERO EN ESTAR CERTIFICADO POR LA RIAA COMO 30 VECES MULTIPLATINO, ¡EL REY DEL POP HACE HISTORIA (DE NUEVO)!

THRILLER SIGUE SIENDO EL ÁLBUM MÁS VENDIDO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, REBAZANDO MUNDIALMENTE LAS 100 MILLONES DE COPIAS

29vh_RIAATHRILLERSOCIALMEDIASHAREIMAGE12915_1

LOS ANGELES, Calif., 16 de deciembre del 2015 – La Asociación de la Industria de Grabación de América (RIAA, por sus siglas en inglés), el Capital de Michael Jackson, Epic Records y Legacy Records anunciaron hoy que el disco THRILLER, de Michael Jackson, es el primer álbum en la historia del programa Oro & Platino que ha recibido la certificación de 30 veces multiplatino por ventas en Estados Unidos. Lo anterior demuestra la continua consolidación del Rey del Pop como el artista con más ventas de todos los tiempos: con ventas mundiales de más de 100 millones de Thriller, lo cual suma mil millones en total de todos sus discos.

LIGA A SU TRABAJO MUSICAL HERE.

“RIAA ha otorgado álbumes de oro y platino en nombre de la industria de la música durante casi 60 años, pero ésta es la primera vez que un artista ha rebasado la línea de los 30 multiplatinos,” dijo Cary Sherman, presidente y CEO de RIAA. “Estamos honrados de celebrar el estatus único de Thriller en la historia del Oro y Platino. Es un logro excepcional y testamento del lugar que Thriller ocupa en nuestros corazones y la historia de la música.”

La obra maestra de Michael Jackson, Thriller, producida por Quincy Jones y Michael Jackson, ganó ocho Grammys, más que cualquier otro disco, y ha seguido recibiendo premios y rompiendo récords desde su lanzamiento el 30 de noviembre de 1982. Thriller estuvo casi dos años y medio en las listas de popularidad de Billboard, y tiene el récord de 37 semanas como #1. Fue el primer álbum en la historia que estuvo en el Top 10 en las listas de esta publicación las primeras 80 semanas desde su lanzamiento, logro que solamente otro álbum ha conquistado en más de tres décadas. Durante su 112va semana en la lista de Billboard, se convirtió en el primer álbum certificado 20 veces multiplatino (30 de Octubre de 1984). Mundialmente, Thriller llegó al #1 prácticamente en todos los países del mundo, incluyendo el Reino Unido, Francia, Italia, Australia, Dinamarca, Bélgica, Sudáfrica (durante el régimen segregacionista), España, Irlanda, Nueva Zelanda y Canadá.

El álbum fue aclamado por su rango y profundidad. La revista Rolling Stone se refirió éste como un “parte aguas” para Michael, y el periódico Newsweek profetizó: “la voz de Michael embruja estas canciones, les da corazón… es lo que hará que esta música perdure.” Siete tracks del disco se convirtieron en sencillos Top 10; y tres: “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” y “Thriller,” llegaron al #1. Así fue como los nueve temas tomaron un lugar especial en los corazones de todos en el planeta.

Más que solo un álbum, Thriller ha quedado marcado como un fenómeno cultural global de multimedia para los siglos 20 y 21, rompiendo barreras musicales y cambiando las fronteras del pop para siempre. La música en Thrilller es tan dinámica y singular que desafió cualquier definición de rock, pop o soul que existía previamente. “Beat It” era un nuevo tipo de híbrido de pop rock y demolió la segregación entre la música afroamericana y la anglosajona con la guitarra de Eddie Van Halen. En “The Girl Is Mine,” un hombre negro y uno blanco discuten por la misma mujer. En el mismo álbum aparecen temas como “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” con raíces africanas; y “Billie Jean,” con bases de R&B. Nadie había lanzado un álbum con un material tan variado.

“La aportación más significativa de Michael en el tema racial probablemente fue a través de sus videos musicales,” escribió Joe Vogel, en Man in the Music. Fascinado por la naciente expresión artística, Michael quería decir una historia y entretener a gran escala. A pesar de la ostentosa cinematografía, la dramática narrativa y la espectacular coreografía de “Billie Jean,” MTV, que programaba rock anglosajón casi exclusivamente, se negó a incluirla. Epic persistió, y una vez que se derrumbó esta barrera, los ratings de MTV se elevaron drásticamente, lo cual abrió una puerta para una generación de artistas afroamericanos. “Era el Jackie Robinson de MTV,” dijo el crítico cultural Touré. Después siguió el cortometraje de “Beat It,” que presentaba a Michael uniendo a dos pandillas a través del poder de la música y el baile. Luego llegó “Thriller.” Estrenándose en el AVCO Theatre, en Los Ángeles en 1983, abarrotó todas las noches durante tres semanas seguidas. Ningún otro video antes o después ha generado tanta emoción ni ha captado nuestra atención de manera que más de 30 años después continuara siendo compartido como una memoria colectiva y siguiera siendo el único video musical admitido en la élite National Film Registry por la Biblioteca del Congreso.

La importancia de Thriller fue reconocida por los colegas de Michael Jackson en los Grammys. Lo anterior debido a que el disco rompió récords siendo nominado en 12 categorías e hizo historia ganando ocho, el cual es el actual récord de mayor cantidad de premios Grammy ganados. Siete de estos Grammys fueron entregados a Michael por Álbum del Año, Grabación del Año (“Beat It”), Mejor Performance Masculino de Pop (“Thriller”), Mejor Ingeniería, No-Clásico (“Thriller”), Mejor Performance Masculino de Rock (“Beat It”), Mejor Performance Masculino de R&B (“Billie Jean”) y Mejor Canción de R&B (“Billie Jean”). El octavo Grammy de Michael ese año fue en la categoría de Mejor Grabación para Niños –Sencillo o Álbum, Musical o Hablada por “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.” Ese mismo año, Michael Jackson se llevó ocho American Music Awards y tres MTV Video Music Awards. El siguiente año, “The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller” ganó el Grammy al Mejor Video Álbum en la 27va entrega de dichos premios.

Durante su extraordinaria carrera, Michael Jackson vendió más de mil millones de copias mundialmente, lanzó 13 sencillos #1 y se convirtió en uno de los pocos artistas incluidos dos veces al Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. También el Libro Guiness de Récords Mundiales reconoció a Jackson como el Artista Más Exitoso de Todos los Tiempos, y a “Thriller” como el Disco Más Vendido en el Mundo en Todos los Tiempos. Su arte, coreografía y música siguen inspirando generaciones de artistas y fans de pop, soul, R&B y hip-hop.

“Es muy claro que Michael Jackson es simplemente el mejor y más grande artista de todos los tiempos,” dice LA Reid, Presidente y CEO de Epic Records. “No es solamente que su éxito en los charts y estadísticas de venta sean asombrosos, sino que su musicalidad por sí sola era de otro mundo. Thriller fue pionero y electrizante… fue perfección. Estoy extremadamente orgulloso de que Michael sea el corazón de Epic Records y siempre permanecerá como el único Rey del Pop.”

“100 millones de álbumes y contando. Nunca ha habido un fenómeno como Thriller,” dicen John Branca y John McClain, co-ejecutores del Capital de Michael Jackson. “Michael abrió las compuertas de su creatividad, exploró profundidades emocionales y empujó las barreras de la innovación sónica. En el proceso, acabó con barreras destructivas en la industria de la música y literalmente unió al mundo a través de su música: no hay un solo lugar en el planeta que no haya disfrutado en la música de Michael Jackson. 30 años después de su lanzamiento, Thriller continúa siendo una revelación.”

La música de Thriller y sus otros álbumes hit son parte del exitoso show de Las Vegas Michael Jackson ONE, producido por Cirque du Soleil y el Capital de Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson ONE está abarrotando shows y sorprendiendo fans en el Michael Jackson ONE Theatre en Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.

Avicii Surprises Fans with ‘Broken Arrows’ Remix Package

M-22, THE ASTON SHUFFLE, DIDRICK, & KID OFFER OFFICIAL REMIXES OF AVICII’S HIT TRACK

29vh_BrokenArrowscoverPrmdremixes01_1

LOS ANGELES, CA – December 4, 2015 – Global superstar DJ/producer and RIAA quadruple-platinum selling artist Avicii surprised fans today with a remix package for the critically acclaimed track “Broken Arrows” from his STORIES album, which has an aggregated sales of more than 1 million since its release in September.

Buy Links: iTunes / Apple Music / Spotify / Amazon / Google Play

Just 10 days ago, Avicii released the inspiring video for “Broken Arrows,” which has since then accumulated more than 7 million views. The “Broken Arrows” video was based on a concept from At Night Studios and directed by the award-winning Julius Onah.

Avicii’s “Broken Arrows” features the distinctive vocals of Zac Brown and “pairs Brown’s crystal-clear vocals with thumping bass and twinkling synth lines. In typical dance-track fashion, momentum builds and eventually boils over into the song’s hook…,” wrote Rolling Stone. Dancing Astronaut said, “Grab your friends, a mason jar of moonshine and get ready to cotton-eyed Joe under the stars to this soon-to-be chart topper.”

Avicii credited Brown’s ‘amazing voice’ when he premiered “Broken Arrows” on his monthly Le7els podcast. Brown reciprocated the admiration when he gave Avicii a shout out and sang “Broken Arrows” at his recent Hollywood Bowl concert and told Country Weekly, “Avicii has an incredible mixture of organic and electronic music together.”

About Avicii:

In 2011, Avicii reached critical mass with the global success of “Le7els,” which became a No. 1 dance hit in the U.S. and the U.K. and sold four million tracks worldwide. It topped the charts in six other territories, went top 10 in many more, and garnered Bergling his second Grammy nomination. Other hits brought a much-publicized remix of Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild.” In 2013, Avicii won his first American Music Award (for Favorite Electronic Dance Music Artist) and his first MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) (for Best Electronic Artist).

In 2014 Avicii cemented his place in the firmament of superstar recording artist/DJ’s with the success of his genre-defying debut album, True, on PRMD Records. The album not only satisfied the 26-year-old Swede’s restless creative urge to push musical boundaries, it also upped the ante on what dance music could be by blending the earthy sounds of folk, country, and bluegrass with soaring pop melodies, funky disco jams, and driving house beats. True spawned the 4x-platinum guitar-laden stomper “Wake Me Up,” which hit No. 1 in 81 countries and became the most streamed song of all time on Spotify (over 380 million plays) and the No. 1 most Shazamed song worldwide, while racking up 2.6 billion international streams and 700 million combined YouTube views. Upon True’s release, The New York Times heralded Avicii as “an artist carrying today — and tomorrow — on his shoulders.”

In May, Avicii and Volvo Cars, two of Sweden’s most influential brands, launched their collaboration on a new brand campaign which features Avicii’s reworking of the classic song Feeling Good. The music video for Feeling Good was filmed on location in Stockholm and Osterlen, southern Sweden in places of personal significance for Avicii and tells his own story of renewal, following several years of hard touring.
