Lists are Stupid

[Kaos]

Apple lists 100 best albums. 

Lauryn Hill is #1.  Top 10 also includes Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Amy Winehouse, and Beyoncé. 

Taylor Swift is 10 spots ahead of Dark Side of the Moon.

Hotel California doesn’t make the top 80. 


List is garbage.

I don't recognize Lauryn Hill, Frank Ocean or Kendrick Lamar.  Who are they?

Compiled by engagement data through their music player app.  So, the Lawrence Welk crowd will be a little underrepresented.

Hey, hey!  My playlist for my run this morning consisted of Ludacris, Jermaine Dupree, DMX, Murphy Lee, Youngbloodz, Kevin Gates, Afroman, JT, Jay Z, Nelly, NWA, and others. 

Granted, most of it was at least 20 years old but I’m hip to the hop.

So not necessarily best albums but most popular at some period in time.

Certainly not a measure of quality...just how many times (since the app's inception) the track/artist was "engaged" somehow.

Almost everything is rated, reviewed and then listed, sometimes by known sources...like homeowner insurance companies in Alabama.
Top series available on Netflix.
Top ten chili crisp brands.
Top selling music artists in history.
Plumbing companies near you.


All the same to me.


Functional, subjective, often targeted garbage.

Cool.  I had the same play list for my run this morning.  I made it through Luda.

Welcome to the Wiregrass,  where the players play
And we ride on dem thangs like ev-ery day
Big beats, hit streets, see lawyers roamin'
And parties don't start 'til eight in the mornin
