According to Assouline, the book is “a celebration of Apple Music’s inaugural list of the greatest records ever made.” The list, which was unveiled in May, has sparked intense debates and discussions among music aficionados. The methodology behind the selection process involved input from many artists, ensuring that the chosen albums are a true representation of musical excellence.
Leading the pack is Lauryn Hill’s seminal 1998 debut album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” While Ms. Hill acknowledged the honor, she also humbly recognized the countless artists and musicians who have inspired her own groundbreaking work.
