Michael Jackson held a huge distinction for a very long time, but today it was toppled!

Once the highest grossing album of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller has been knocked out of the top spot by The Eagles!

Time reports, “The Recording Industry Association of America told The Associated Press on Monday that the Eagles’ album — “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975” — is now certified 38x platinum, which means sales and streams of the album have reached 38 million copies.

The album was released in 1976 and pushes Jackson’s “Thriller,” which is 33x platinum, to second place.”
