''Thriller 25'' was released by Sony BMG's re-issue division, Legacy Recordings. In the United Kingdom, the BBFC gave it a '15' certificate because it included the video for "Thriller". It is the first Jackson album with an age certificate. Along with the original material, the reissue contained remixes, new material, a DVD and collaborations with several contemporary artists. Two singles, "The Girl Is Mine 2008" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008", were released from the album to moderate success and a number of the other remixes charted, despite no physical release. ''Thriller 25'' was a commercial success, selling three million copies worldwide in its 12 weeks, and was generally well received among critics, despite their view that the new material was not as inspiring as the original. == Background == Jackson released his sixth studio album, ''Thriller'', on November 30, 1982. With sales estimated to be over 65 million copies worldwide, ''Thriller'' became the world's best selling album of all time; the album was the first in history to yield seven top-ten singles. The success of ''Thriller'' put Jackson into the dominating position of pop music, becoming an international pop-cultural icon. Jackson was asked about a "second chapter" to ''Thriller'' on ''Access Hollywood'' in late 2006. He said he would discuss it with collaborator will.i.am but had not yet considered it, commenting "No I haven't really thought about it in that way but I would give it more thought. We haven't really discussed it yet, on that level, but I'm sure at some point we will. But it's a great thought."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael Jackson Talks to Access Hollywood )〕 will.i.am served as executive producer; the album's release was announced in an Epic Records press release on November 30, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thriller 25」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
