About the Thriller Challenge

The "Thriller" album spent an unprecedented 37 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, yet the "Thriller" single only peaked at number 4, back in 1984. Our goal is to change that by streaming, buying, and calling radio stations to boost "Thriller" up the charts (both in the US and worldwide). The event runs in 2024 from October 24th through October 31st. Join us in helping one of the most iconic singles in music history have its best year yet!

  • What if I've already bought the song on iTunes?

    You can't buy the same track from the same album more than once, and gifting a song doesn't affect Billboard Charts either. Consider sending an Apple Gift Card, allowing someone else to buy the "Thriller" track. Purchase a gift card online here.

Gone too soon

Melanie Freeman, a driving force in the Michael Jackson fan community who left an indelible mark with her initiatives, has sadly passed away. She was the co-founder behind the Thriller Challenge, and her dedication shone brightly as she helped organize the delivery of thousands of roses to Forest Lawn, a heartfelt gesture that resonated with fans as we continued to mourn Michael. She was also an integral part of MJJ Justice Project, as their Communications Director. Sadly, we lost Melanie on January 20th, 2024. Her absence is deeply felt, and her contributions and spirit continue to inspire us. We will miss her immensely.
