Once again fans are doing all the promo and trying to create all the buzz. (And the Estate doesn't even jump on this bandwagon by at least promoting these fan initiatives on their social media accounts). It'd be the easiest thing in the world to retweet this and mention how the fans are getting hyped for the new release. But it always seems like the fan initiatives annoy them. "How dare they start their own thing, they should be happy with the crumbs we give them!" We would literally be lost if it wasn’t for fan initiatives. YouTube videos, Remixes, podcasts, books, Fan boards etc.

I am convinced literally everything they do is run by one person using a windows 95 computer. Smooth, you’re giving them waaaay too much credit! 😂

They really should mention the songs name in their post. “This Song” could mean any of the songs. So there’s about 3 weeks left until this is released? Has there been any promotional campaign for this? It always had the song titles in their headlines on michaeljackson.com
They can't be bothered to copy and paste it on their socials though.
It's bizarre (yes, I use this term) they don't seem to realize that the major part of their weekly announcements is missing something everytime.
It sort of gives one the impression that they assume only the fans are interested, which leads one to conclude that they’re not really interested in aiming this at the general public. The coming week will be telling. If there’s no promo campaign by the end of the week -and that’s pushing it- then they’re clearly not bothered with the performance of Thriller40. But, if they release Thriller 4K in time for Halloween then I guess that could create wider interest, and could be considered as promo albeit an extremely lazy way to do it.

Has there been any promotional campaign for this? So there are two songs left to be announced? Doesn't look like LIML extended version is going to fit the little "40" logo, which is a shame. Hopefully we get Chicago 1945 finally? I find the whole idea of Thriller 40 a strange one. 10yrs away from a truly landmark anniversary, would it not have made sense to wait for Thriller 50 and do something more comprehensive including everything from this one era? They really should've focused on Dangerous or HIStory anniversaries before this IMHO. It’s a shame it won’t include LIML. That track deserves some shine, especially in its original unedited form. They should have released it as a single for promo. Or the bonus track on the Japanese version. We’ll probably have to wait for a Thriller50 for it. Yes, 40 is such an odd and inconsistent number. Especially after Thriller25 and Bad25. I suppose in the same way MJ released T25 after the trial, the estate are releasing T40 after LN. If we eventually get Beatles style 50th Anniversary box sets for each album then all of this scattered hodgepodge inconsistent watered down sporadic approach will have been worth it. I’m still sort of excited for Thriller40 but theres a lot to be said for promo campaigns that create some buzz and excitement. Anticipation is contagious. There’s nothing to stop the estate from doing a few lyric videos on YouTube or even a little behind the scenes video. I’ll bet they didn’t even know what songs were going to be included and their decisions on what to include have been informed by the fanbase.

If they don't think Thriller can be aimed at the general public then I don't know what MJ album they think it can. Also, so far it always seemed to be the opposite: them not caring about hard core fans.

What about: They don't care about the hardcore fans, AND they also think overall no one cares about MJ, so why even trying.

Are we thinking Cant Get Out Of The Rain will be announce today, leaving us with 2 mysteries?
Or will the estate end on a dud in 3 weeks?..

I find it so odd they seem to be totally missing Halloween as a promotional tool. I get the album comes out next month but still you'd think they'd take the massive boost in marketing for this release.

Are we going to even get the 4k updates of the Thriller videos like we hoped for? I feel if it was the case they should already have posted them, to also take advantage of the Halloween hype.
