Майкл Джексон. Как его Thriller спас и навсегда изменил поп-музыку в 1982-м

Subscribe to my Telegram channel: https://t.me/cntrpunto The history of pop music has seen many pivotal moments, but perhaps few compare to the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller. At the time of its release, the industry was in an unprecedented ideological and financial crisis, and this album was destined not only to save it, but to completely rewrite the rules of the game and become the best-selling album of all time. An unprecedented number of collaborators and guest superstars, new standards for music videos, a fundamentally new approach to album distribution and the selection of singles for promotion—this and much more led to the phenomenal success of Thriller.
