What is the Apple 100 Best Albums list?
Apple said in a press release that the list was chosen by a committee that included artists, Apple Music employees and industry insiders and that it is a "love letter to the records that have shaped the world we live and listen in." The tech giant said that it did not factor in streaming statistics when compiling the list.
Apple Music will release new album rankings every day for the next five days. Albums 40 to 31 are set to be released Sunday at 12 p.m. ET. Rodgers will take part in a roundtable discussion with Maggie Roger, Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director, and radio personality Ebro Darden when the top 10 are revealed on May 22.
Apple has a website to help fans keep track of the countdown and has produced shoulder content on Apple Music Radio.
