Apple Music reportedly announced the release of its 100 Best Albums of all time, a list of the greatest records ever made, crafted by Apple Music’s team of experts alongside a select group of artists, including Maren Morris, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Charli XCX, Mark Hoppus, Honey Dijon, and Nia Archives, as well as songwriters, producers, and industry professionals.
“100 Best brings together all the things that make Apple Music the ultimate service for music lovers — human curation at its peak, an appreciation for the art of storytelling, and unparalleled knowledge of music and an even deeper love for it,” said Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s senior director of content and editorial.
Apple Music brings its 100 Best Albums to life with a countdown celebration beginning today. It will be revealing 10 albums each day for the next 10 days, along with a brand-new 100 Best microsite, new and exclusive content, dedicated Apple Music Radio episodes. The countdown will culminate on the final day with the reveal of Apple Music’s top 10 albums of all time during a broadcast radio special.
The first 10 albums, revealed today, offer you with seven of the 10 records hailing from the 21st century, two from the 90s, one from the 70s, and various genres represented. The list also highlighted contemporary artists such as Tyler, The Creator, Robyn, Lorde, Travis Scott, Solange and Burial, among others.
“We were tasked with selecting the 100 best — that’s practically mission impossible. But as music fans, it was also amazing to really take a minute and sit and think about the music and albums and artists that we love so much in this context. If this list sparks more debate among fans outside of Apple Music and gets people talking passionately about the music they love, then we’ve done what we set out to do,” Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director and lead anchor for Apple Music, concluded.
