Apple has just launched a list of the 100 best albums in music history. Here's why we aren't listening..
. Apple has revealed its top 100 albums of all time and some of the entries might surprise you. Some people on the internet aren’t happy about it.
But we’re not sure about a couple choices...
Sorry, let’s stop these shenanigans right there. We’ve had enough of these endless desperate ploys for internet engagement. It’s not even the end of the year and we’re dealing with half-baked top 100 lists that are designed with one thing in mind, to drive online engagement due to the inexplicable decision making behind them.
Fine, I’ll engage with it. The top 100 was created by Apple in consultation with artists like Pharrell Williams, , and Maggie Rogers to decide on “the records that have shaped the world we live and listen in today.” In the number one spot is Lauryn Hill with her 1998 classic ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’.
It’s a pretty fair choice for the top spot as it’s a universally beloved album that provided the world with Hill’s unique take on the RnB genre with her characteristic honesty. Putting Hill at the top spot also gave Apple the chance to tell her in person and get a pull-quote for their press release. Not something they could have done if they went for the number two placing Michael Jackson.
The rest of the top 10 is also full of some pretty understandable choices. After Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, the list includes The Beatl.
