Apple Music released the first ten albums on its 100 Best Albums of all-time list Monday, beginning a ten-day countdown to number one.
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.
"If this list sparks more debate among fans outside of Apple Music and gets people talking passionately about the music they love, then we’ve done what we set out to do," Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director, said in a news release.
The California-based company said that it would produce tie-in content for the list, including a takeover of Apple Music Radio Hits that will extend a week past the reveal of number one.
