@LycaonIncubus@Threepea851@chartdata You’re wrong. In 1982 if Billie Jean was categorized as R&B white radio and MTV would definitely not have played the record. Just like they didn’t play any song on Off the Wall it needed to be labeled as Pop to help break the racial barrier that was placed on R&B.
@Threepea851@chartdata Thriller was a pop album. Billie Jean was a pop song , that’s part of the reason it why it was so successful and what Michael was trying to accomplish with the Thriller.
