Michael Jackson's ‘Thriller’ voted ‘Greatest Album of all Time

Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ has topped a new poll of ‘The Greatest Albums of all Time’.

The 1982 hit notched up almost one in three of all votes cast by more than 40,000 fans, and 20 percent more than its nearest rival.

Paying tribute to the king of pop, DJ Trevor Nelson said there would probably never be another album like it.

“Thriller was innovative, groundbreaking and is timeless. I don’t think there will be another album like it - ever,” the Daily Star quoted him, as saying.

In the poll, conducted by music channel MTV, Craig David’s ‘Born To Do It’ came second.

Craig, now 27, admitted that he was ‘amazed’ at his album’s position.

“I am incredibly proud - it’s an amazing achievement when you look at the other albums,” he said.

Rockers Guns N’ Roses landed the third spot with 1987’s ‘Appetite for Destruction’, which sold 28m copies.

Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ came fourth and Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ rounded off the top five.

The MTV poll included albums dating back to 1981, the year it launched.

Leona Lewis would 'love' to perform alongside Michael Jackson.

The 'Bleeding Love' singer has fuelled reports she will join the pop superstar on stage during his London residency this summer by revealing she is a huge fan.

When asked about the rumours, Leona said with a smile: 'I don't know, I'd love to perform with Michael Jackson. So we'll see.'

Last month, it was claimed Michael wants Leona to perform his sister Janet's part from their 1995 duet 'Scream' for his 'This It It' shows at London's O2 arena.

A source said: 'Michael has a list of singers he feels could do Janet justice - and Leona is top. He hasn't approached her yet but he's a big fan of everything she has achieved.

'She's massive all around the world and he feels this duet would give both their careers an even bigger boost.'

Meanwhile, Leona has spoken out about her relationship with Simon Cowell, who was her mentor when she won UK reality TV show 'The X Factor' in 2006.

The 24-year-old star still regularly speaks to the music mogul, but admits he can be difficult to work with.

She said: 'I still talk to Simon lots, I am signed to his label and he's still very much involved in the things I do. He's honest, very brutal.'
