In just 24 hours of the 4K versions of “Thriller” and “Beat It” being released on Apple Music, and even with no official promotion, they’ve shot straight to the top of the iTunes Music Video chart. “Thriller” sits at the top spot with “Beat It” at number 2.

The old version of “Beat It” also comes in at number 5, along with the 2006 “Vision” version at 39. At number 40 is “Billie Jean,” but we expect that to sky rocket once it’s released in 4K (or at least higher definition).

Once again, we’re still waiting on the videos to come to YouTube, so they can be viewed more broadly. Right now you need an Apple Music account (or purchase on iTunes) to view the newly restored videos.

“Thriller” was first restored in 2017 by the original director John Landis. It was shown in movie theaters across the US in 2018. It was a preview for those that had got tickets to watch the movie “The House with a Clock in Its Walls.” Those screenings were in 3D, and seeing it on the big screen totally changed what you knew about “Thriller.”

Watching these new versions of the videos is like watching them for the first time. So many details were easy to miss before. This breathes a fresh lease of life into this classic short films from Michael.
