Michael Jackson’s Iconic ‘Thriller’ Music Video Surpasses a Billion Views on YouTube
Michael Jackson's 1983 music video for "Thriller" has surpassed one billion YouTube views.
Just in time for spooky season, Michael Jackson’s iconic 1983 music video for “Thriller” has surpassed one billion YouTube views. The milestone marks the King of Pop’s fourth visual to join the Billion Views Club after “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” and “They Don’t Care About Us.” Directed by John Landis and boasting a voiceover from Vincent Price, the 13-minute clip aired on MTV in December 1983. Since its release 40 years ago, the “Thriller” music video is often referenced in pop culture, most notably in the 2004 rom-com 13 Going on 30, where Jennifer Garner’s character reignites a boring party by recruiting the attendees into a venue-wide rendition of the choreography.
