Earlier this year, Apple Music unveiled its selection of the 100 Best Albums. However, this digital tribute is just one facet of a broader celebration. Apple Music has revealed plans to release a new hardcover book in honor of this album list, with a price tag of $450.
New book features a limited print run of just 1,500 copies
In collaboration with Assouline, Apple Music is producing this exclusive book.
With only 1,500 copies to be printed, the book is now available for pre-order.
Entitled Apple Music: 100 Best Albums, this book celebrates Apple Music’s inaugural list of the greatest albums ever created. It serves as a lasting companion to the digital initiative that debuted on the streaming service in 2024. Each copy is elegantly encased in a transparent acrylic slipcase, individually etched with its edition number. Inside, readers can explore the albums curated by Apple Music’s expert team alongside notable artists like Maren Morris, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Charli XCX, Mark Hoppus, Honey Dijon, and Nia Archives, as well as various songwriters, producers, and industry professionals. This list is an editorial expression devoid of conventional metrics, independent of streaming statistics—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the albums that have profoundly influenced the world of music.
While the $450 price might seem steep, the limited print run transforms this book into a collector’s item, setting it apart from typical coffee table books.
Here are some additional details about the book:
- It weighs 8 pounds
- Zane Lowe contributed the foreword
- The book is presented in a linen hardcover with an acrylic slipcase
- The back of the slipcase features an edition number, and there’s a hand-numbered ex libris inside
- The page edges are adorned in sparkling gold, matching the spine of the book
