Thriller — Michael Jackson

*Thriller* surges back to #9 on Apple Music, proving its timeless grip on pop culture with a 7,200% spike in October streams alone. This 1982 masterpiece remains the best-selling album of all time, with over 100 million copies sold worldwide. Its seven hit singles, including "Billie Jean" and "Beat It," continue to dominate Halloween playlists and are re-energized by recent career retrospectives. Compared to #10, *Thriller* shows superior longevity, outperforming the biopic-driven *Michael* by maintaining streams across multiple seasons rather than relying on a single news peak.
