Apple Music, 100 Best Albums, Assouline (book) Preface by Zane Lowe. Apple Music: 100 Best Albums, a tribute to Apple Music’s inaugural list of the greatest records ever made, is a lasting addition to the digital initiative, launching on Apple Music in 2024. Numbered edition of 1,500 copies. 208 pages, 97 illustrations, book in English. Dimensions: W 16 x L 11 x D 2.5 inches. Weight: 8.0 lb. Book new.

Readers will find the albums featured, selected by Apple Music’s expert team alongside an exclusive group of artists including Maren Morris, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Charli XCX, Mark Hoppus, Honey Dijon and Nia Archives, as well as songwriters, producers and industry professionals. In essence, it’s a love letter to the records that have shaped the world in which music lovers live and listen.

Spanning over 65 years of music and genres from country, pop, and rock to hip-hop and electronica, the list stretches from Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue in 1959 to Bad Bunny’s most recent 2022 release Un Verano Sin Ti. The list, which includes artists as stylistically diverse as Billie Eilish and Metallica, Travis Scott, and Talking Heads, has sparked lively conversations around the world.

We’ve discovered that truly great albums are more than just a collection of songs: they’re a part of you, a part of your life story. They’re about heartbreak, pain, trauma, joy, revolution, and resolution.

Each book comes in a custom-designed, translucent acrylic slipcase engraved with the Apple Music logo, while the linen hardcover is engraved with the same logo to perfectly align behind the engraving. The spine of the slipcase is engraved with the edition number, and inside the book is a hand-numbered bookplate to further emphasize the limited nature of this edition. The edges of the book’s pages are gilded in a shimmering gold that reflects the title on the spine.
