Today in 1987 I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, first single from Bad album peaked #1 on Billboard Hot 100. First of 5 #1 singles album generated. Single also went #1 in 8 countries.
Before I get into Billboard charts, I’d like to highlight the fact that for the first time in decades Vinyl sales has taken over physical CD sales.
So, of course 38 year old Thriller is Top 10 this week 👑
US Vinyl Albums:
Thriller – #10 (re)
Top Catalog Albums:
Thriller – #32
Billboard 200:

In the UK Number Ones is still going strong. In albums charts and streaming chart.
