Social Media Reacts To Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums of All Time List

Social media is not feeling Apple Music’s Top 100 Best Albums of All Time.

This week, the streaming service released a list of the greatest records ever, curated by Apple Music experts and select music industry professionals, without considering streaming numbers.

Many users are perplexed by the absence of numerous artists from the list,, such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Brandy. While others are surprised that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill claimed the top spot over Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

The top rankings feature a mix of iconic and influential albums across various genres and eras. Here are the top 10 albums from the list:

1. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill– Lauryn Hill
2. Thriller– Michael Jackson
3. Abbey Road– The Beatles
4. The Dark Side of the Moon– Pink Floyd
5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy- Kanye West
6. Pet Sounds– The Beach Boys
7. Kind of Blue– Miles Davis
8. What’s Going On– Marvin Gaye
9. Blue– Joni Mitchell
10. Rumours– Fleetwood Mac

Any one of these Mariah Carey could've and should've been on that Apple Music 100 greatest albums list. Especially if the criteria is music that changed the landscape of of popular music. pic.twitter.com/uBNspvTrBj

Apple Music was so real for the number 1 spot but they should NEVER construct another list again, absolutely egregious.
