The list was chosen by Apple Music's team of experts, a group of artists, β€” includingΒ Pharrell WilliamsΒ andΒ Maren MorrisΒ β€” songwriters, producers, and industry professionals, according to the company.

Β 

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."

Β 

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

Β 

Interesting. Ok.Β
