By 1983, the concept of popular music crossover became inextricably associated with Michael Jackson. "Thriller" saw unprecedented success, selling over 10 million copies in the United States alone. By 1984, the album captured over 140 gold and platinum awards and was recognized by the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the best-selling record of all-time, a title it still holds today. MTV's broadcast of "Billie Jean" was the first for any black artist, thereby breaking the "color barrier" of pop music on the small screen. "Thriller" remains the only music video recognized by the National Film Registry.
