In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of Beat It, Billie Jean, and Thriller, were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as Black or White and Scream he continued to be highly visible on MTV in the 1990s, and also began to forge a reputation as a touring artist. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary RB, pop and rock artists.
Jacksons 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall , Bad, Dangerous , and HIStory , also rank among the worlds best-selling.

Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards ; 26American Music Awards ; 13number-one singles in the United States in his solo career ; and the estimated sale of over 750 million records worldwide.
