  6. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) - September 19, 1983
  7. Thriller - January 23, 1984
The album was recorded from April 14 - November 8, 1983 by Epic and was produced by Quincy Jones.  In 1983, it reached the Number-one spot in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Italy, United Kingdom, and the United States.  
The album also featured other famous musicians like David Foster on keyboard, Eddie Van Halen with the guitar solo in "Beat It", and Paul McCartney with vocals in "The Girl Is Mine".
The record was an absolutely amazing one with each song being perfect.
