Hear the documentary
Twenty five years after its release, Michael Jackson's Thriller album is still the biggest selling album of all time. Why?
1Xtra's Trevor Nelson and listener Mo take us through the tracks and the stories behind the album.

The 1982 album brought us hits like Billie Jean, P.Y.T and Beat It alongside the iconic video for the title track Thriller.

Hear Kanye West, Will Smith, Chris Brown, Will I Am and Pharrell Williams pay homage while the Thriller producers Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton unveil the story.
Why is Thriller still the biggest selling album of all time? What's your favourite track or video? Is it Michael Jackson's best album ever? Does MJ still deserve the title of the greatest artist of all time?
