Let the debate begin: What are the music albums of all time?
Apple Music has an idea. On Wednesday, the music streaming giant announced its 10 most sensible albums of all time, with Lauryn Hill’s iconic 1998 The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill taking the most sensible spot. The album, Hill’s first, surpassed other classics such as Beyoncé, The Beatles and Michael Jackson. , Prince, Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean and Nirvana.
“It’s my award, but it’s a deep narrative that involves so many people, so many sacrifices, so much time and so much collective love,” Hill said after receiving the news.
The top 10 albums culminated in Apple Music’s inaugural Top 100 Albums list, which began with a 10-day countdown last week. Only five artists have more than one album on the full roster, adding The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Radiohead and Beyoncé.
While there are no Canadians in the top 10, a little further down the list are some names that will be familiar to Canadian audiences.
Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” made it into the top 100 at No. 81, while Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell came close in on the most sensible: Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” came in at No. 31 and Mitchell’s iconic album “Blue” at No. . sixteen. .
And, in an almost painful allusion to the recent explosive feud between rap stars, Toronto artist Drake’s Take Care slightly topped the midpoint at No. 47. Meanwhile, m. A. A. d city, Kendrick Lamar’s daughter, is way above, in 47th place. . 7.
The process of creating the list began several months ago, when Apple Music’s team of editors and music experts, adding Zane Lowe, global artistic director and lead presenter of Apple Music 1, and Ebro Darden, global editorial head of hip-hop and R.
“This list is not a popularity contest,” Darden said. “We challenge everyone not to vote based on their favorites. He’s invited to the panel because he has a musical wisdom beyond what he pays attention to when he’s on an elliptical machine. “
Members of Apple Music’s internal team submitted their private album charts through the company’s voting microsite. Votes were weighted based on album placement: the higher the ranking, the greater the number of votes given.
Apple Music used the same voting method for an outside constituency organization by adding artists, songwriters, producers, and some media outlets.
