Now then… where to begin?
How about
Why?
Well, there is no shortage of reasons, according to the thousands of comments Apple Music’s Top 100 Albums list
“Pathetic top 100 list,” one person
Green Day not cracking the Top 100 is criminal.

“There’s only one MJ album that made it to the ‘best albums’ list and it’s number 2?” another person

“Hard to imagine what the set of criteria for this awful list could have been,” another commenter
Then there was this thread of snubbed albums with 170 (and counting) responses…
Artists with no entries & their record breaking albums that @AppleMusic didn’t include in their Top 100 Albums of All Time List
A much needed thread.pic.twitter.com/oalXwSK6dF
