Many singers see Christmas as a prime opportunity to deliver a hit that brings them success every year. While that is a proven idea, Michael Jackson instead found absurd success in the spookiest season of the year, around Halloween.
His song Thriller always makes a comeback in October when people are feeling freakier, and for 2025 this has culminated in a huge surge for the song, as it has now broken through the Top 10 charts in both the UK and US.
In the U.S., Thriller climbed as high as Billboard’s 10th biggest single of the week, and as for the U.K., the Official Charts notes that Thriller went a step further and peaked at ninth place.
This is actually an immense achievement for the song, as it now makes Michael Jackson the first artist with Top 10 songs in six different decades, according to Variety. It’s a feat no one else has come close to yet, even though the late Andy Williams could theoretically join Jackson if for some reason one of his songs reached the Top 10 in the 2020s.
