Michael Jackson’s *Thriller* has climbed to second place on the US Billboard 200, its highest position in more than 40 years, after rising from 13th, Nieuws.nl reports.
The album last reached No 1 in spring 1984, when it spent its 37th and final week at the top. Billboard attributed its latest rise partly to Halloween, celebrated on 31 October, and to a reissue on vinyl and cassette, according to the report.
Olivia Rodrigo’s *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love* took the top spot, moving up from second for its fourth week at No 1. *Thriller* remains the solo artist album with the most weeks at the top of the chart, not necessarily consecutively, Nieuws.nl says.
