Apple Music launches inaugural 100 Best Albums list

Apple Music celebrates the greatest records ever made with a list that includes 100 of the best albums released. The list is curated 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.

The team of curators also includes many songwriters, producers, and industry professionals. According to Apple, the list doesn’t have anything to do with any streaming numbers on Apple Music, and it’s more of a love letter to the iconic records that “shaped the world music lovers live and listen in.”

The 100 Best Albums list will be fully revealed in the coming days in the form of a countdown celebration. Apple will announce 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, and a lot more.

Here are the first 10 albums that Apple has already revealed:

100. Body Talk, Robyn
99. Hotel California, Eagles
98. ASTROWORLD, Travis Scott
97. Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine
96. Pure Heroine, Lorde
95. Confessions, USHER
94. Untrue, Burial
93. A Seat at the Table, Solange
92. Flower Boy, Tyler, The Creator
91. Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, George Michael

The last day of the countdown will culminate with the reveal of Apple Music’s top 10 albums of all time during a broadcast radio special.
