91. Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, George Michael

This is honestly George's best album but I know most people consider "Older" his magus opus

The list was chosen by Apple Music's team of experts, a group of artists, — including Pharrell Williams and Maren Morris — songwriters, producers, and industry professionals, according to the company.

 

The tech giant said that the list is an "editorial statement" and that the list is a "love letter to the records that have shaped the world we live and listen in."

 

Apple said that it did not factor in streaming statistics when compiling the list.

 

Interesting. Ok.
