Platinum

- The Girl is Mine (w/ Paul McCartney)

The fact that when this was released as the 1st single and the album first debuted people thought the era was done and over and a step back from Off The Wall back then. 

It was literally the 1st single and the one that promoted the album during 1982's fall. 

Billie Jean release in January 1083 was the turning point for the era

 mean frankly i dont blame them- even the chorus is so... bland. Its a serviceable song but as AC as Michael ever got and it definitly wasnt his lane at least as hie career progressed sans a few ballads
