TIMH - 1984: "I'm not like other guys."
Today in Music History - 1984: Less than two years after its release, the RIAA certifies Michael Jackson's Thriller album with sales of 20 million copies in America, introducing a new designation, "Double Diamond." The stratospheric sales of Thriller are unprecedented, and keep climbing to well over 30 million. It isn't until 1994 when another album gets the Double Diamond designation, and that's a greatest hits package: Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971 - 1975.
This video was appointment viewing. MTV scheduled it a lot and told you when the next showing was. We were there!
Here's one of the tracks from the Eagles that went to #1.
