Apple Music recently unveiled its comprehensive list of the “100 Best Albums,” showcasing what they consider to be the greatest records ever created, as selected by artists and experts. The countdown to reveal these albums began over a week ago, generating excitement among music enthusiasts.
At the very top of the list is Lauryn Hill’s iconic solo album from 1998, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” This album perfectly encapsulates Lauryn’s unique style, following her success with The Fugees and their album “The Score” released two years prior.
In a statement to Apple Music, Hill expressed her gratitude, stating, “This is my award, but it’s a rich, deep narrative, and involves so many people, and so much sacrifice, and so much time, and so much collective love.”
While Apple emphasizes that this list is an “editorial statement” independent of streaming numbers on their platform, it serves as a tribute to the albums that have significantly influenced music lovers worldwide. Naturally, selecting the “100 best” albums will spark debate among fans – for instance, why is “All Eyez on Me” only ranked at number 62?

– The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill – Lauryn Hill
