Michael Jackson-Thriller

Michael Jackson的'Thriller' 回到Billboard雜誌 Hot 100排行榜了，這要感謝萬聖節帶來的經濟效益。

這首恐怖感十足的歌再度進Billboard Hot 100排行榜獲得到第31名，這是1984年以來這首歌名次最高的一次。

按Nielsen Music的統計， "Thriller"在網路上有15,000次下載購買，比前一週成長百分之189，還有一千五百二十萬次串流，比前一週成長百分之198。（11月1日前）。萬聖節經濟效益也幫這首歌在數位歌曲銷量獲得第11名，而在串流歌曲則得到第30名。

"Thriller"於1984年3月3日在Billboard Hot 100排行榜最高獲得第4名，且已重回排行榜三次，這一次再回排行榜獲得第31名，已是1984年4月7日以來名次最高的一次。

一首超過30年的單曲如何再進Hot 100？需要是很獨特的，是最近在串流很受歡迎的歌曲、最好有廣播與銷售數字，歌要沒有出現在最近發行週期中，就有可能再進排行榜，假如他們在知名平台上就更有機會獲利或進top 50榜內。

此外，Michael Jackson的代表性專輯"Thriller"在Billboard 200專輯榜也是大贏家，它從103名升到42名，成長百分之83，約相當14,000張專輯。

  在Billboard 200專輯榜62年的歷史中，僅電影"the West Side Story"｢西城故事｣的插曲專輯得過54週排行榜冠軍，成績比"Thriller"好，而Michael Jackson 的 "Thriller"專輯在歷年最受歡迎的200張專輯排行榜排名僅次於Adele的 "21 "與西城故事的"The Sound of Music soundtrack"獲得第3名。

 Michael Jackson於1958年8月29日出生於美國印第安那州Gary，2009年 6月 25日在洛杉磯去世（51歲），至今話題不斷。

Thriller

Michael Jackson

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking

in the dark

Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops

your heart

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before

you make it

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between

the eyes,

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to

strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer,

thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere

left to run

You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see

the sun

You close your eyes and hope that this is just

imagination

But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up

behind

You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with

forty eyes

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer,

thriller tonight

Night creatures call

And the dead start to walk in their masquerade

There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time

(they're open wide)

This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on

every side

They will possess you unless you change the number on

your dial

Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close

together

All thru the night I'll save you from the terrors on

the screen,

I'll make you see

That it's a thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would

dare to try

Girl, this is thriller, thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller,

chiller,

Thriller here tonight

(Rap performed by Vincent Price)

Darkness falls across the land

The midnite hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood

And whosoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of hell

And rot inside a corpse's shell

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years

And grizzly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive

Your body starts to shiver

For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the thriller

(Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)
