Trivia! What was the lead single (first single) off of Michael Jackson's Thriller album?

Posted by con_carne Oct 31 '24, 21:21

The Girl Is Mine with Paul McCartney

As in, "the doggone girl is mine." That one.

The single was a success. It went to number 2 (heh heh) on the Hot 100, number 8 in the UK and number 1 in the R and B chart.

Despite the song's success, it received generally mixed reviews from critics who considered it to be the weakest song on the album.

I didn't even know it was a single.

Responses:

There were 9 tracks on that album and 7 of them were released as singles. Nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 31, 22:37
what I know best is he paid Vincent Price a flat rate instead of a royalty based on sales and pissed off all film fandom. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 31, 21:38 1
- You mean Vincent Price accepted a flat rate instead of a royalty. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 04:41
