Apple Music’s controversial top 100 albums list drew ire for it’s choices, now it’s being released as a book and you won’t believe the cost.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In May this year, Apple Music dared to name the 100 best albums of all time<\/a>. Their top 100 list was a bold attempt to define the cream of the crop in music history, collated by editors like Pharrell, J Balvin, and Charli XCX, as well as songwriters, producers, and other industry professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list drew questions from music critics for its choices and placement, for example the fact that To Pimp a Butterfly was nowhere to be seen. The Needle Drop<\/a> also pointed out a lack of revolutionary jazz rock artists like Frank Zappa being overlooked for Steely Dan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list was, of course, still full of greats and it made a lot of noise. Now, music lovers can get a hold of a book for their coffee table containing Apple Music’s 100 top albums of all time. There’s a catch however: It comes at a massive price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple have partnered with lifestyle publisher Assouline to produce ‘Apple Music: 100 Best Albums’, a custom engraved white-and-gold bound book. Only 1,500 copies of the book will be produced, and it will cost $450 for the privilege of owning one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music write of the book: “Encompassing more than 65 years of music – and multiple genres, from country, pop, and rock to hip-hop and electronic – the list spans from 1959, with Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, to as recently as Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, which debuted in 2022.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The asinine – sorry – Assouline book contains a foreword written by Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s renowned DJ and presenter. <\/em>It will ship from January 9th and you can pre-order yours here<\/a>, if you really want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
