More on this incredible album courtesy of Wikipedia:
Off the Wall is the fifth studio album by the American singer Michael Jackson, released on August 10, 1979, by Epic Records. It was Jackson's first album released through Epic Records, and the first produced by Quincy Jones, whom he met while working on the 1978 film The Wiz. Several critics observed that Off the Wall was crafted from disco, pop, funk, R&B, soft rock and Broadway ballads. Its lyrical themes include escapism, liberty, loneliness, hedonism and romance. The album features songwriting contributions from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Rod Temperton, Tom Bahler, and David Foster, alongside three tracks penned by Jackson himself.

Off the Wall was an enormous critical success, with it being credited as a significant departure from Jackson's previous work for Motown and hailed as a major breakthrough for him. Five singles were released from the album; the album produced two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Rock with You". With following singles "Off the Wall" and "She's Out of My Life" also reaching the US top 10, Jackson became the first solo artist to have four singles from the same album reach the top 10 of the Hot 100. In retrospect, writers have hailed the album as a landmark release of the disco era.

Off the Wall has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2021, it was certified 9× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album continues to be lauded as among the greatest albums of all time, with some critics hailing it as Jackson's best album. At the 1980 Grammy Awards, it was controversially nominated for just two Grammy Awards, with Jackson winning Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". Off the Wall won Favorite Soul/R&B Album at both the 1980 and 1981 American Music Awards. In 2008, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
