Yes but the name Thriller holds so much weight
Blinding Lights is just a big song with a Super Bowl performance
It’s still impressive but it’s not Michael Jackson and Thriller. It’s Weeknd and Blinding Lights
It’s own strengths

You’re comparing an album that’s been out for 40 years, in which 7 of its 9 songs were singles, to an album that is just coming up on 2 years old, with only 4 of its 14 songs are singles

Of course “everyone knows the Thriller album” lmao it’s a borderline Greatest Hits collection

always the ignorant ones who act the most informed it’s funny

I’m talking about people saying it’s Thriller

Anyway look at my work bird

both thriller and billie jean two of the most iconic songs in music history

won’t be another to eclipse that level of greatness especially not a song like blinding lights that basically takes it’s whole sound from that era

Are we really having a discussion about this being the weeknd his biggest hit? Lol

Nope sorry
Please stay stuck in the past

Fire

stop

Delusional troll

Sad

We can only say this because we’re 40 years removed from their release, and they still hold up greatly.

To say that Blinding Lights isn’t as iconic as those two is a moot point, because they’ve been staples in pop culture history for nearly half a century, and Blinding Lights has only been out for two years.

Let’s give Blinding Lights at least a decade before we start talking about it’s all-time iconic status

super cute

are u 14 my guy

the only reasonable explanation as to why you’d think in any shape or form that abel could go hit for hit with mike

this is crazy cope lol

don't fall for the bait lmao

It's genuinely not even bait

I like MJ

But people overplay his importance in pop way too much

Kids already believing life is good was bigger than blinding lights we’re already f***ed

true

blinding lights isn’t even in the same realm of groundbreaking levels of any of those mj tracks either

it’s just a classic pop song, done really well but it wasn’t a staple for a change in music as a whole

It's reality. BL was big - don't get me wrong but it claim it even remotely competes with Thriller is insanity.

It's not overplayed.

He's important for a reason.
