Apple Music‘s 100 Best Albums list has ignited debate in earnest. From the titles selected to their order to the omissions, the tally has the masses talking with volume.
And while Lauryn Hill‘s ‘Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ may rank as the streamer’s pick for Best Album of All-Time, releases from both Beyonce and Amy Winehouse have also earned esteemed honors.
Full story below…
Like Rolling Stone, with their updated Greatest 500 Albums List, Queen Bey’s ‘Lemonade’ and Winehouse’s ‘Back to Black’ are listed as the top female albums of this century. [Note: Hill’s album was released in 1998]
On the Apple Music tally, 2016’s ‘Lemonade’ – home to ‘Formation’ and ‘Daddy Lessons’ – places at #10.
Elsewhere, Winehouse’s 2006 album ‘Back to Black’ ranks at #8:
Needless to say, the list continues to drum up much debate.
For, while there’s no doubt about the impact of these releases, there are questions about the whereabouts of other notable female offerings – not just in the top 10 but in the list overall.
Case in point, albums from the likes of Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Adele, and Katy Perry (pictured above).
With that, what are…
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours is 2/3rds women, with 3 of the 4 hit singles written and sung by women.
Also, most of those “women” didn’t write or play instruments on their songs, especially song-credit thief Beyonce or Liar Hill, who was successfully sued by the un-credited team that wrote and produced her ONE RECORD. Lying flop.
I get the credits issue. But Beyoncé cut the checks and they cashed it. Idk about Lauryn Hill, though.
Nobody is playing Lemonade. Those songs will never be resung.
Frank ocean being Top 5 with his worst album 🤮
ok
Where are the hits on Lemonade? I mean if the songs are good then why didn’t the album produce any big hits? So overrated
Bro, stfu. It’s not all about hits, but sales, streams, and cultural impact. Stop hating. You don’t like it and you’re entitled to it. But clearly people disagree with you. Keep scrolling. It’s so weird that you have to come and post your negativity.
🍋 produced 3 top 20 hits. 🐝
BeyoncePISS with LemonAIDS. Really. Bogus. No real hits, no one cares. No one is singing along except her fanbase. Unknown to the general public, unlike The Beatles, Aretha, Prince, Michael, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, etc.
🍋 produced 3 top 15 hits. 🐝
Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 or Velvet Rope should have been on the list.
or Janet. and any of those albums are greater than Beyonce’s career.
Who cares about these lists? They mean nothing lop. Just enjoy the albums and songs u like and love. These lists don’t mean s***.
