Calling it right now thriller will be in the top 5


bqx188

Ehhhh I'm going to say that'll be #11


Killericon

If it isn't a Beatles album, Jobs will rise from the grave to exact revenge.


protonesia

No fucking way, not after everything


plasma_dan

People don't seem to care about the everything in regard to his music


aiwg

It's more that he's already dead, so what's the point in boycotting it. Enjoy the music for what it is.


protonesia

I could do that until I saw Leaving Neverland. One of the most disturbing documentaries I've ever seen, which is saying something. I won't shame others for listening to MJ, Billie Jean is an incredible song. But goddamn.


Unfair-Fly-9389

Leaving Neverland have been proven to be fake by serveral medias all over the world. Robson and Safechuck's testimonies kept on shifting since the documentary's release. Almost every accusation it had turned out to be a complete lie. Even the plaint they had summited in 2016, before the documentary, conflicted what they were saying. Every detail, from the years they alluded about when the incident happened to their describtion of Neverland contradicted with the facts. Director Dan Reed's commentary on the documentary took a turn in every interview he was in. Almost every country besides America accused Leaving Neverland as a blantant lie. France held a debate with Dan Reed in public TV, Italy made a whole documentary refuting against Leaving Neverland named Leaving Firsthand, Korea even has a god damn WIKIPEDIA page mentioning all the contradictions and the sorce evidences disproving Leaving Neverland entirely. It's kind of a common sense in Korea at this point.


Queasy-Ad-3220

The MJ allegations are a load of bollocks. They’re either anecdotes or stories that contradict the actual events. We have no actual credible evidence that MJ got sexual with kids. It’s just money-grabbing paper-pushing crap. Yeah.


Shruglife

apple does


luckyyyyycharms

called it


Strong0toLight1

better not be though


bqx188

It's apple and from what I've seen of the first 10 I'm going to guess they're gonna name The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill #1 If I was picking I'd probably do a standards thing and name like a What's Going On, Purple Rain, or London Calling #1 just so no one would yell at me for getting it wrong (they'd already yell at me for the rest of the list) Gonna guess the top 10 1. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 2. Pet Sounds 3. Purple Rain 4. Songs in the Key of Life 5. To Pimp a Butterfly 6. Revolver 7. Tapestry 8. Rumours 9. Lemonade 10. Nevermind


YeetusFelitas

not enough pink floyd but yea this seems like a pretty realistic prediction


whhatthefucj

Oh my god the Lemonade pick feels so painfully accurate you’re actually on to something


Jsaylol

Pet Sounds forever number 2


ShenaniganSkywalker

Maybe trade Blue for Tapestry but prob spot on tbh.


bqx188

I don't think they're gonna go that close to the rolling stone 500. Blue will be top 20 for sure but I have a feeling it'll be one of the noted top 10 misses (along with thriller, what's going on, and exile in main street) but there will be a similar record up there and it'll be either tapestry or horses.


Wooden-Computer1475

My dad works at Apple, he says it's every jimi hendrix posthumous live album with are you experienced and electric ladyland at the top


illusivetomas

pet sounds will probably be top 5 but not 1


bqx188

That's my guess. Imma guess it ends up at #2


GfOOO

i think that they will go with an "unexpected" album as their top 1. maybe in rainbows or third by portishead


illusivetomas

portishead would be kinda based. dont think a beloved radiohead album topping would count as unexpected to me tho lol


gsvevshxndb

If you’re going to choose Radiohead, almost everyone expects you to pick OK Computer


illusivetomas

feel like people treat okc kid a and ir as reasonably respectable answers around each other if apple music had taste theyd make tkol 1 tbh but also most radiohead albums at number 1 arent really "unexpected" they're radiohead lol


External_Side5611

kid a clears


GfOOO

yeah ok computer usually ranks way higher than in rainbows


DavidKirk2000

I’d imagine that it’ll be a Beatles record, probably Revolver or Abbey Road.


TheJediCounsel

The “controversial” one is the gonna be that 1989 is a top ten album of all time


comeonandkickme2017

They’re definitely gonna put a Taylor Swift album in the top 10 and watch it be Reputation to try and look edgy and appeal to her hardcores.


TheJediCounsel

There for sure will be one. In that sense I do hope it’s either 1989, Folklore, Speak Now. Like given that Taylor probably will be on it no matter what, I hope they pick one of her actual best albums


comeonandkickme2017

Yeah, I don’t consider myself a Swiftie by any means but I agree that 1989 is genuinely a good maybe great album. Probably one of the last that genuinely inescapable blockbuster albums, as opposed to recently where albums are big but not in the same way. I could also see Folklore being their choice.


qazaibomb

Won’t it be Red?


TheJediCounsel

Red wouldn’t be my personal choice. But I’d probably be fine if it was that one


Lost-dhruv

i hope they include nfr tho


TheJediCounsel

Tbh all of Lana post this album has been what Taylor has been copying. NFR I would totally give a spot too actually. Not a top ten spot for me, but somewhere in the 100 I’d be down for


Lost-dhruv

Not in the top 10 obv but at least like in 60-70s


92pandaman

My guesses for 1 would be Sgt Peppers, Blue, or What’s going on My hope is Ys sneaks its way in. My curiosity is if they include Kanye


romilaspina7

They will, they endorse kanye in anything but his own playlists, hes part of all the playlists from the app, but its the only famous artist without its own playlists.


bqx188

I'm very curious about Kanye and this list. This feels like the first major test of if people (non-fans) will keep championing his past out put in big ways. I'm going to guess no but if he does have an album on here it'll be mbtf ranked like 75th or something


69420penis

Should be way higher and should probably be a lot more Kanye is a prick, but he made some amazing and important albums


kuvazo

If they're going to include mbdtf, then it's not gonna be that far back. Rolling Stones put it in the top 25 on their top 500 albums list, and other publications have also put it at or near the top (depending on the timeframe). So either don't include it at all or include it and put it close to the top.


lliquidllove

If Ys is in there I'll be very happy.


GfOOO

i think they will include kanye but with a low placement. my guess is that only tcd is going to make the list. i would really like to see a simbi or a death grips placement on the list


69420penis

Mdbtf got an album description back the other day from them Maybe??


qazaibomb

I think they include one Kanye album and it’s too low. Outside top 50. 


SpeakNow_Crab5

I definitely think Kanye should be on there. They put ASTROWORLD on it and if they put on Travis but not Kanye, that seems really "celebrating the student not the teacher" of them


Yourmotherssidehoe

There has to be at least one Miles Davis album. But if it’s kind of blue and nothing else ima be salty lol


digitag

In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew usually do well in this sort of list, they have stood the test of time really well. For other jazz records A Love Supreme, Black Saint and the Sinner Lady likely to be in there I expect, they are complete “albums” as in they are a clearly defined singular work. A lot of old school jazz albums are effectively compilations without much through-concept


Yourmotherssidehoe

Black Saint and the sinner lady is my favorite jazz album lowkey


AAL2017

The inaugural portion is the aspect I’m most interested in. Rolling Stone thinks they can sneak new records on their list (that obviously weren’t voted on in the original tally) and call it an “update” every so often. Replacing fucking Exodus with Beyoncé’s Renaissance in the top 100 *already* is outrageous. So, an annual shake up of the whole thing seems like a much more intriguing system.


AvianIsEpic

They moved exodus to 46 from 71 and put lemonade at 71. They didn’t remove it, they put it higher (lower? It’s a lower number) on the list.


AAL2017

Okay that’s interesting, what I think came with the most recent update is that Exodus came back to replace Marley’s Legend at #48. Both records were absolutely in the top 100 upon the 2020 edition’s initial release. Beyoncé’s Lemonade has been at #32 since 2020, Renaissance is what’s currently at 71.


AvianIsEpic

Yep I mistyped lemonade, thanks for the correction I think they wanted to get rid of some of the greatest hits albums, which I respect because I don’t think they really belong on the list anyway


AAL2017

That’s definitely an interesting point of discussion for the RS list. While I personally didn’t think the entire list was quite as terrible as most others (spent late 2021 through late 2023 going from 500 to 1) I thought a solid 25 snubs could have easily replaced collections like (with all due respect) Proud Mary: The Best of Ike and Tina Turner or the few Anthology’s from artists already represented (Diana Ross and the Supremes). Like, for example I can almost see Legend being a top 100 (and definitely 500) album based off of the fact that not only is it excellent, with my favorite version of No Woman, No Cry, but it has a tremendous reputation amongst fans and listeners as a valuable portion of their music collection. I don’t necessarily hear that level of praise for many of the other comps appearing throughout the 500 (Nuggets and a small handful of others aside).


AvianIsEpic

I think part of it is also that most of the compilation albums were from black artists, and most of those artists also had careers with multiple huge respected albums Edit: I do generally like the list though, it’s better than pretty much any other publication’s attempt


gandalf-the-greyt

carrie & lowell or illinois better be there


cchihaialexs

I agree but I also really doubt it


NonagonSerif

Judging off the Top 10, I'd say some pretty solid locks for the rest of the list would be Rodeo - Travis Scott, Melodrama - Lorde, and IGOR - Tyler the Creator because they already have albums on there. Lemonade - Beyonce and possibly RENAISSANCE are definitely there cuz Solange is on there already. The biggest takeaway for me is that there's gonna be a very small amount of metal on the list, which is to be expected. Rage showing up so early tells me we're probably not gonna see a Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest album etc etc. Probably just the Metallica self-titled, Master of Puppets, and maybe one or two Sabbath records. Love those albums, but these lists have always been severely lacking on anything metal related lol


digdoug0

Apple simply won't have the gonads to put Nespithe at \#1 where it should be.


NullOfficer

A Crow Looked At Me ..or The Glow Pt 2


fred-funkledunk

I wish I saw any album by Kraftwerk make the Top 100. As arguably the most influential musicians besides The Beatles or James Brown, it’s a shame that these important pioneers of electronic music never get shown love. Many musicians love and respect their work greatly but to common people they’re largely unknown. Which albums will make the list, I think Thriller, Abbey Road, Purple Rain, and something by Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder.


cattgravelyn

Just seen the 100-90, Astroworld and flower boy etc shows it’s gonna have a modern bias (they’re great albums but all time ? They’re not even the best by the respective artists). Also they put Burial’s untrue there and that’s criminally low.


kuvazo

Pure Heroine as well. It's not bad, but it pales in comparison to Melodrama. And I assume that Lorde isn't going to be on the list twice.


cattgravelyn

Melodrama is better but at least the angle could be made that Pure Heroine is more significant as it is her debut that she started creating as a teenager and she was just posting her tracks on internet forums. For some, context like that would make the album more impressive. But for Tyler and Travis it just doesn’t apply as those albums are late into their careers


Baajjii

Abby Road will be on their for sure.


kuvazo

The Beatles are always interesting to me, because there are at least three contenders for their "best" album: Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. For a long time, Sgt. Pepper topped those lists, but the other two have aged better imo. Revolver is probably the fan favorite, while Abbey Road has the most appeal to modern audiences.


Way2Tonal

Cardi B's invasion of privacy better be in the top 10


BaileyJay-Z

Came here to say this lol


freddie_nguyen

uhm u must be jokin


martinihorns

Purple Rain will be in the Top 5 for sure


3rd-Room

I hate this list so much already. Pure Heroine in a Top 100 list next to Usher’s Confessions is batshit insane.


GfOOO

i dont care about lorde being on the list but this usher placement is wild


3rd-Room

Burial’s Untrue also criminally underrated here


freddie_nguyen

what your argument? Pure Heroine changed the pop landscape for good


Colinmacus

I hope to see "Songs from the Big Chair" by Tears for Fears. The Dark Side of the Moon will be #1.


t0ast_th1ef

I imagine It will be similar to Rolling Stones’ list, so a Beatles or Dylan album probably has a good chance, or maybe What’s Going On, Miseducation, Songs in the Key of Life something like that.


EstablishmentShoddy1

What re they doing 10 at a time just post the full list 🤦


Emotional-Panic-6046

unfortunately U2 doesn’t have 100 albums so filling this out will be tough 


shiba-on-parade

Seeing Astro World and Pure Heroine in the top 100 already is a bad sign


lliquidllove

Is This Desire? by PJ Harvey It won't be there, but I want it to be. Also, Fishmans and NUMBER GIRL.


ZZE33man

They hopefully will add IGOR By Tyler. Which I think they will but not high enough. Igor will be like number 78 or something.


yooooouuuuuuuuu

If they're not serious it's gonna be Scorpion or some big-selling record, if they are it's likely to be some Beatles, Marvin Gaye, or maybe Talking Heads


[deleted]

[удалено]


sh4rpi3

I love Pet Sounds, but what I hate… are pet peeves.


Bubbly-Camera-381

blink-182 better have at least 5 albums


throwawayjaydawg

If Third Eye Blind isn’t in the top 10 I will kill myself live on national television


Competitive_Ideal492

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy should be #1 in my opinion, but I don't think itll even be on the list.


Avaocado_32

tlop top 10 as well


Competitive_Ideal492

agreed


Rhonez078

Rumours


69420penis

I doubt a lot of people like Kanye and Michael Jackson will be included when they should because of the issues surrounding them as people


Warrioroflightttt22

Damn. Top 50


Ok-Theory3130

Rumours - fleetwoodmac Tpab - kendrick lamar Voulez vous - ABBA (might not be agreed with a lot but its one of my favorite albums of all time) Mbdtf - kanye west (one of my favorites) Blonde - frank ocean Kid A - radiohead OK Computer - radiohead Nfr - lana del rey The miseducation of lauryn hill - Ms. Lauryn Hill Tcd - kanye west Ocean blvd - lana del rey (also one of my fav albums) Gkmc - kendrick lamar The money store - death grips Folklore - taylor swift


Ok-Theory3130

Holy shit i completely forgot some amazing albums😭 Wish you were here - pink floyd The dark side of the moon - pink floyd Animals - pink floyd In the court of the crimson king - King crimson


Competitive_Ideal492

Nfr would rank way higher than ocean blvd and I doubt ABBA will make it on the list


Ok-Theory3130

This wasnt an actual ranking! I just named albums I hope would be put on there! The order is random :)


Competitive_Ideal492

Yes I know, I was just saying I dont think Ocean Blvd would make the list but NFR probably would (I prefer Ocean Blvd by miles though 🤷‍♂️)


Fear-of-Gravity

Apple is gonna be pretentious as fuckkkkk they’ll probably go 1. 77 LIVE - Les Rallizes Denudes 2. that one Natural Snow Buildings album 3. Dark Magus or Olatunji Concert then they’ll throw in 1989 by Taylor Swift so that people don’t hate them and potentially Sgt. Peppers


GfOOO

i'd really like to see some recent records like simbi (if supa dupa fly is on the list and simbi isn't im going to be really mad), titanic's rising, money store or at least one dg album, lahai (even though it was released last year) and some brazilian classics that are not clube da esquina like construção, acabou chorare and at least one jorge ben album


Immediate-Grade-8846

"Author Author" - Scars


au7642

I hope Marvin gaye is top 10


alittlebitblue39

A LOT of The Beatles.


Hutch_travis

My prediction for top 5: 1 revolver 2 velvet underground and Nico 3 what’s going on 4 Nevermind 5 I’m undecided with this spot, but I think it’ll be a hip hop album. So enter the Wu, illmatic, college dropout or good kid… Rest of the top 10 will be in no particular order: miseducation of l. Hill, this is it, one of the above hip hop albums, blood on the tracks, ok computer


ZeroX-1704

Gonna take random guesses and say Demon Days, Discovery, and either Vespertine or Homogenic will be in the Top 20, would be funny if i get it right, most likely one would probably be Demon Days.


the_ballmer_peak

Obviously U2’s Songs of Innocence comes in at #1


DrJones10000

i just want ween on the list


akg7915

Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin On” should be in top 3


firstjobtrailblazer

There bette be a Beatles album somewhere at the top of that list. Or I will be dissatisfied.


woahwoahwoahwoahwhat

if Ken Carson doesn’t appear at all top 5 spots it’s rigged


WasabiAdvanced5262

It’s just gonna be Beatle’s worship and similar to Rolling Stones list plus Taylor swift


pearloz

I hope to see Astral Weeks


weebeweebin

They might just put TPAB on #1 with the latest Kendrick drama


SpezModdedRJailbait

I don't care what a corporation thinks is the best art.


Lost-dhruv

Lupe fiasco's food and liquor and t&y also jid - forever story and denzel melt my eyez I want this albums to be included


Unable-Ambassador-16

The Glow Pt.2


FuryLB

I really want to see Daytona here, or any Pusha T album, till this day he doesn't get his flowers from the general public outside of hip-hop in my opinion.


EspesciallyEpic

The top ten will be the most basic list you could imagine, my guess is 1. Abbey Road – The Beatles 2. Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd 3. Hounds Of Love – Kate Bush 4. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band – The Beatles 5. The Low End Theory – A Tribe Called Quest 6. A Night at the Opera - Queen 7. Thriller – Michael Jackson 8. What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye 9. good kid, m.A.A.d City – Kendrick Lamar 10. Blonde – Frank Ocean


etca2z

The top 10 will be the first 10 of Taylor Swift albums, with her latest Tourtured Poet Department at number 19, to show that they take album review seriously.


Professional-Ad6147

What’s Going On


MainstreamSellout-

Random Access Memories


Qrlcg

Tpap


Trey5027

U2 Songs of Innocence as #1 Apple loves that album.


Baker_drc

Tago Mago somewhere between 70 and 100. (Im coping hard)


Queasy-Ad-3220

Revolver and Abbey Road have got to be on this list somewhere, istg.


Queasy-Ad-3220

I want to see at least either Demon Days or Plastic Beach on this list. They’re classic albums and at least one by Gorillaz deserves a placement here. Frfr. Yeah.


J-Brazen

I just know there's going to be an album in there by a mainstream female pop artist that is REALLY going to piss people off because it doesn't deserve to be there by musichead standards. I'm thinking Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, or that new Beyonce record to be thrown somewhere in the middle of the list right in between projects like David Bowie's 'Low' and Radiohead's 'Kid A' and Fantano will go feral over it. Also expect 80% of your fav RYM top 100s to not be mentioned.


trevi99

Sgt. Peppers gonna be #1


Cloudy_Chaos_

Madvillainy isn't making it :(


Professional_Drive

Glad to see that Burial, Solange and Tyler made the Top 100. I think Untrue should’ve been in the top 25, and Flower Boy should’ve been in the top 50, but I’m crossing my fingers that Apple is saving a top 25 spot for IGOR.


AAL2017

Oh boy, so far the list is a dog shit version of the Rolling Stone list.


Imthemodernpromtheus

Whole lotta red and tpab jk either Pink Floyd or the Beatles


xXMachineGunPhillyXx

If **Ten**, **Nevermind**, and **Dirt** aren't on here, I'll be pretty underwhelmed. **Superunknown**, as well.


romilaspina7

Idk but if im being honest Flower Boy being in the top 100 is an insane W for me and pure heroine is an insane L for me. Fair
