dct:abstract

%22Billie Jean%22 is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. It is the third single from the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). It was written, composed and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. There are contradictory claims on the meaning of the song's lyrics. One suggests that they are derived from a real-life experience, in which a female fan claimed that Jackson (or one of his brothers) had fathered one of her twins. However, Jackson himself stated that %22Billie Jean%22 was based on groups he had encountered. The song is well known for its distinctive bassline played by Louis Johnson and Jackson's vocal cords. The song was mixed 91 times by audio engineer Bruce Swedien before it was finalized.The song became a worldwide commercial and critical success; it was one of the best-selling singles of 1983 and is one of the best-selling singles worldwide. The song topped both the US and UK charts simultaneously. In other countries, it topped the charts of Switzerland and reached the top ten in Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. %22Billie Jean%22 was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1989. Rolling Stone magazine placed the song in the 58th spot on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.Awarded numerous honors—including two Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, and an induction into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame—the song and corresponding music video helped propel Thriller to the status of best-selling album of all time. The song was promoted with a short film that broke down MTV's racial barrier as the first video by a black artist to be aired in heavy rotation. Also, Jackson's emmy award-nominated performance on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, in which Jackson premiered his moonwalk dance also helped to popularize the song. It was also promoted through Jackson's Pepsi commercials; during the filming of one commercial, Jackson's scalp was severely burned. Covered by modern artists, %22Billie Jean%22 sealed Jackson's status as an international pop icon.
