You don’t listen to it except during halloween? I occasionally have a MJ phase multiple times a year and thriller is always on the rotation

I'll listen to MJ whenever. It's just the actual Thriller single has become soooooo associated with Halloween that the only time you'd ever hear it on a radio is during that time anymore. Back in the 80s I remember stations playing it throughout the year

It's still in regular rotation year-round on the retro radio stations in my local market.

Your local markets are way cooler than any in Colorado. The only stores that seem to play Thriller here anymore (I'm talking the song Thriller btw, not the album and it's other tracks) are Spirit Halloween stores in October. Be hard pressed to hear it in the month of May at a grocery store here. Billie Jean, Beat It, Wanna Be Starting Something...all the time.
