Over the course of a four-decade career, Michael Jackson set a lot of records. In 1984 his landmark album Thriller became the first album to generate seven Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1988 his follow-up Bad became the first album to yield five No.
In 1995 "You Are Not Alone" became the first single to enter the chart at No. Jackson's record-setting ways didn't stop when he died on June 25, 2009. In the week after his death, he became the first artist to sell more than 1 million digital tracks in one week.
(He sold 2.6 million tracks, crushing the old record.) He also became the first artist to have the three best-selling albums in the United States. Two weeks later, he became the first artist to have six of the 10 best-selling albums. When Nielsen SoundScan released its final sales tallies for 2009, Jackson had four of the year's top 20 albums, a record for the SoundScan era.
He also had seven of the year's top 100 albums and nine of the year's top 200 digital songs. Jackson had Top 10 hits in each of the last five decades, which is remarkable for someone who was only 50 when he died. The Jackson 5's first hit, "I Want You Back," cracked the Top 10 the very last week of the '60s.
Jackson kept his Top 10 record alive in the '00s (if just barely) when "You Rock My World" reached No. 10 in 2001. It's extraordinary how young Jackson was when he hit it big.
Before his 12th birthday in August 1970, he had sung lead on three No. Jackson was just 12 when he first made the cover of Rolling Stone; 13 when he landed his first Top 5 solo hit ("Got To Be There"); and 14 when he sang the Oscar-nominated "Ben" on the Academy Awards. Most of the chart records Jackson set were tied to the trio of albums he recorded with legendary producer Quincy Jones from 1979–1987.
Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad sold tens of millions of copies and generated a combined total of 17 Top 10 hits. Thriller, released when Jackson was 24, logged 37 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
That constituted the second-longest run in the top spot since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
