Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson and The Beatles sit atop the top 10 albums from Apple Music's 100 Best Albums of All Time List.
The streaming giant's experts worked alongside a select group of artists, songwriters, producers and industry professionals to curate the list, fully independent of any streaming numbers on Apple Music.
The former's only solo album, 1998's timeless classic, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill', is in first place.
Upon receiving the accolade, Lauryn said: "This is my award, but it’s a rich, deep narrative, and involves so many people, so much sacrifice, so much time, and so much collective love.”
Few albums have come close to the late King of Pop's legendary 1982 LP 'Thriller' in terms of influence and domination, with the record positioned at number two.
Apple Music's Zane Lowe commented: "Not only did it outsell everything in its opening year, it outsold everything in its second year.“
“It changed the way people approached making music, releasing music, distributing, marketing music, and no one ever caught up to it. It set the bar so high."
