OFF THE WALL. The next few songs are from the album Off The Wall
except One Day In Your Life.
In 1979, Michael Jackson released his first adult solo album
Off The Wall on the heels of the
number 2
relative comeback song by
The Jacksons,
Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground), which of course, featured Michael Jackson singing.
Off The Wall produced two number one hits, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, which was styled much like Shake Your Body, and
Rock With You, the biggest hit off the album.
The songs
Off The Wall and She's Outta My Life then made the top 10. This gave Michael Jackson the second single disk studio album to have four top 10 hits -- something that only
Fleetwood Mac had done before.
Off The Wall spent months at number 2 on the
Billboard album charts, with
The Wall by
Pink Floyd
keeping it from reaching number one.

THRILLER.
The next few songs are from the album Thriller
except Say Say Say and Happy.
In 1982, Michael Jackson released his album Thriller, and the first release was the ballad The Girl Is Mine with
Paul McCartney.
Duet The Girl Is Mine became a number one song at Christmas, and the dance rock music was yet to come:
In 1983, Thriller became the top studio album of all time, producing two more number one hits.
Thriller ultimately produced seven top 10 hits, breaking the old record of four from a studio album.
In the meantime, Michael Jackson returned the favor to Paul McCartney and performed the duet Say Say Say on Paul's album, producing another number one song.
