1983 : "Beat It" Tops Charts

Michael Jackson's "Beat It" rises to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, just a week after "Billie Jean" ended its seven-week run at the top. Jackson became the first artist in the 1980s to score two hits in the top five at the same time. Both songs came from Jackson's album Thriller, which sold more than 40 million copies and still ranks as the bestselling album of all time. The album spent 37 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's album chart and achieved seven Top 10 singles.
