As one of the largest international pop icons in history, Michael Jackson has revolutionized the music industry. Once a member of the Jackson Five, which produced eighth Top 40 Hits, Michael started his own solo career in 1971. This career has proved to be overwhelmingly successful. His first album, Off The Wall, was the first album in history to have four Top 10 singles, and went Platinum seven times in the U.S. alone. Michael's Thriller is a great example of his talent and contribution to pop music. This album contains number one hits such as "Beat It," "Billie Jean," and "Thriller." Thriller spent 37 weeks at number one, and went Platinum in the U.S. 26 times.
