The album has taken over nearly every market in the world, and helped Michael become the most selling artist of all-time, with over 1 billion total sales, worldwide.
The classic album, is now 30 times multi-platinum, certified by the The Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA).
“It is crystal clear that Michael Jackson is simply the greatest and biggest artist of all time,” LA Reid said. I am extremely proud that Michael is the heart and soul of Epic Records and he will forever remain the one-and-only King of Pop.”
