#1 of DJ Akhu's' Top 100 80s Dance Hits Countdown!: 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson (1982)

Finally we've reached the #1 pick of DJ Akhu Enkiel's Top 100 80s Dance Hits Countdown! For some reason #1 was just too easy to pick, I knew it before I even started the countdown, its a 1983 released and guaranteed "dance floor-filler" by the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson...thats right its Billie Jean. Now, I know I said before that if I were to do this countdown again I would definitely change things, but this #1 song would still be #1, its almost in stone I think, and that makes it a little less than exciting to reveal, even though its the top spot. I actually enjoyed doing the higher numbers, because I felt they were less predictable, and not necessarily songs everyone and their grandma would be familiar with. That said, I tip my hat to the late King of Pop and his 80s masterpiece, Billie Jean. There's an 80s movie called The Legend of Billie Jean and I intend to watch it, though I don't know how much it has to do with this classic MJ song. Billie Jean was released on Jackson's epic 6th studio album Thriller, released in November of 1982, which also happens to be the reigning best-selling album of all time, with sales estimated by various sources as being between 65 and 110 million copies internationally and is also tied for the best-selling album in the United States. Thriller won 8 Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammys, and it goes without saying that Billie Jean hit #1 on all the major charts world-wide. So there it is folks, maybe I will do another set of 80s hits, like a 100-200 or something, though I think sticking to genre's for now will be the plan. Keep it real folks, hope you enjoyed the Top 100 countdown... stay tuned for more 80s! :-)
