Apple Music is releasing a $450 book for their top 100 albums list

Earlier this year, Apple Music released its viral list of what they consider to be the top 100 albums of all-time. The list received much discussion on social media and became one of the biggest conversations in the music sphere.

Apple Music has announced that the controversial list is turning into a book, and it will set you back $450.

Apple Music have partnered with lifestyle brand Assouline to take their list from the internet to the bookshelf - 1,500 bookshelves to be exact, as this book is not only $450, but it also has limited availability to 1,500 copies (which is likely contributing to the steep price).

Apple Music details how the book is crafted and what content readers will find inside on assouline.com.

 With a release limited to 1,500 copies, the books are housed in sleek, transparent acrylic slipcases, each individually etched with its edition number. Inside, readers will find the featured albums, selected by Apple Music’s team of experts 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.
Every book comes in a custom-designed translucent acrylic slipcase etched with the Apple Music logo, while the linen hardcover is debossed with the same logo to perfectly line up behind the etching. The back of the case is engraved with the edition number, and inside the book there is a hand-numbered ex libris to further highlight the limited nature of this release. The edges of the book’s pages are gilded with a sparkling gold that mirrors the title on the spine.

You can pre-order the book here.

Is Apple’s Top 100 Albums List THAT Bad?
Okay, everyone. Anthony Fantano here, internet’s busiest music nerd. I hope you’re doing well. Apple Music. My personally preferred music streaming service has just come out with a Top 100 Albums of All Time list. Microdosing it over the course of a week or so, the entire list is out
