This list, painstakingly curated by a team of industry experts and esteemed artists, serves as a heartfelt homage to the albums that have shaped the musical landscape for generations. The list transcends mere streaming numbers, focusing instead on the timeless impact these albums have had on music lovers worldwide. The announcement of this list marks the commencement of a 10-day countdown celebration. During this period, Apple Music will reveal 10 albums each day, taking listeners on a journey through the annals of musical history. This is not just a countdown; it's a tribute to the artists and albums that have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Rachel Newman, Apple Music's senior director of content and editorial, expressed the team's pride and excitement in presenting this list to the world. 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, unparalleled knowledge of music and an even deeper love for it, she said. The Selection Process and Initial Reveals The selection process was a challenging one, as attested by Zane Lowe, Apple Music's global creative director, and lead anchor for Apple Music 1. Putting this list together was a true labor of love, he remarked. "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," Lowe said. The first 10 albums offer a glimpse into the diversity and richness of the list. These albums span various genres and eras, including modern classics like Robyn's Body Talk and Tyler, The Creator's Flower Boy, alongside timeless gems such as the Eagles' Hotel California and George Michael's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. 100.
