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.
