Apple Music dropped its 100 Best Albums list and Céline Dion was totally snubbed
Fans are not happy.

Apple Music recently dropped its list of 100 Best Albums, and while the ranking features bodies of work from renowned artists, including a handful of Canadian singers, it seems as if Apple Music left off one of the most influential singers of our time: Céline Dion.
Now, we've been here before. Remember The Rolling Stones updated its list of the 200 Greatest Singers and completely left out Dion? Well, history is repeating itself folks and we cannot keep sitting back and allowing the music industry to do our queens dirty like this.
Dion, who debuted her English-singing album Unison in 1990, has since become one of the biggest names in the biz. Dion has accumulated five Grammy Awards, has an Oscar-winning song ("My Heart Will Go On"), has sold over 200 million records worldwide and has released over 20 albums since the 90s — none of which made the Apple Music 100 Best Albums list…
To my fellow Dion fans: I see you, I hear you and I stand with you.
Whether we're talking about The Colour of My Love, Falling Into You, or A New Day Has Come, Dion has put out some of the best music throughout her long-standing career. And the fact that nothing from her impressive discography made the 100 Best Albums ranking should be considered a crime. In fact, many Dion fans are reacting as if it is (and rightfully so).
Fans of the Quebec-born singer have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to let their frustrations be heard, as have fans of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and many other greats who were also snubbed from the Apple Music list.
Here are a few of our favourite reactions to Apple Music snubbing Dion.
Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums of ALL TIME does not include ANY entry from: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Patty LaBelle, Céline Dion, Willa Ford, OR Tina Turner
It DOES include: William Eyelash, Taylor Swift, Travis Scott, SZA
Not the end of the world, but what a joke LOLOL

The fact that falling into you by Celine Dion is not on this list is crazy. That album literally has everything you can think of for it to be here. It has the sales, cultural impact, the hits, the power ballads and allat. Who tf made this list? https://t.co/BgJ2XPBLt2

I swear the people making these lists now have zero credibility
Remember when Rolling Stone left Celine Dion off theirs? Now this? Can we get some actual journalism again? https://t.co/c4NdQcU1A6

Wait I just realized there’s no Celine Dion on that list either. The disrespect America gives to this global icon needs to be studied. Girl fuck you @AppleMusic https://t.co/u0HIEiYaBf
