Just for instance, the iPad 10th-Gen with 64GB is for around ₹34000 on Flipkart as of now. A team at Apple Music has rocked the music industry with its new list of the 100 greatest albums of all time. The project that has been created over the years dismisses most of the widely known ranking systems that focus only on the albums of the past instead of the present. Over 250 employees, artists, and industry executives voted in creating this list of records that defines what the “greatest album” isn’t.

The list includes young singers like Bad Bunny or Billie Eilish and famous bands like the Beatles or Bob Dylan. However, there is a greater number of records from the 2010s than records from the 1960s and this is something that Apple feels are future classics. Apple Music’s global editorial head of hip-hop and R&B, Ebro Darden said that the selection process focused on albums rather than a compilation of hit songs “not just a collection of individual songs which are popular”.

This was in contrast to what is practiced today where recommendation is governed by algorithms, Apple found it necessary to bring human inputs into the process. Each of the company’s employees voted for 25 songs of their choice, as did thousands of artists, songwriters, and producers of various music genres. Globish was based on statistics of human usage of languages, and this caused some unexpected results where Lauryn Hill’s “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” album rose to the top of the chart… followed by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and The Beatles “Abbey Road.”
