20 Songs Which Surprisingly Never Made It To No.1 In The UK Charts

Actual Chart Peak: No.10

There’s no doubt Thriller is one of Michael Jackson’s most well-known songs and for good reason – it’s a brilliant combination of disco and funk, with an impressive Halloween music video to accompany it.

It comes as a huge surprise that the iconic tune only got to number ten in the UK singles chart. Perhaps the reason Thriller didn’t do as well was because Jackson’s album of the same name was released almost a whole year prior, becoming the number one best selling album worldwide of 1983. By the time the actual single was released, most fans were already familiar with the spooky tune.
