Alicia Keys May Not Have Made The Apple List, But She Has Remained An Icon

Alicia Keys fans were outraged to learn that none of her nine studio albums made Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list, even though she’s unbothered by it all.

On Wednesday, Apple Music unveiled the list, which included Lauryn Hill’s “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” at number one. Drake, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and The Beatles were just a handful of acts recognized on the list. Unfortunately, despite Keys’ illustrious career and iconic music catalog, the streaming platform did not include any of her work.

The singer took to Instagram on Friday, standing in front of her decorated trophy case as she unboxed her 16th Grammy for Best Immersive Audio Album for the re-release of her sophomore album, “The Diary of Alicia Keys.” While it’s unlikely Keys was trying to be shady towards Apple, her fans praised her for the many recognitions she has received, which also include a host of MTV Video Music Awards and more.

In addition to her nine studio albums, Keys has also released eight live albums. Though Apple Music might not count Alicia Keys’ albums as some of the greatest, they have certainly spawned many of our favorite songs, which have remained staples on our playlists and in our hearts.
