Illi Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That said, Janet does well on the list despite the attacks her legacy has endured. But I can tell this list was formulated to appease the Millenial and Gen-z crowd. I don't want to get into detail but there are too many albums that are more popular than good. Many of those album will be an afterthought within the next five years. They also have a habit of over-ranking any critically acclaimed album over the past 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she the pop icon of her generation so the rankings have to reflect that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I heard Mariah only had one (ONE!) album on this chart, and it was like #350 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 This list will change again a in a few years. So I'm not bothered. I knew Control was gonna be added, but TVR and RN1814 should be in the top half. The top 200 is outright laughable. Imagine thinking some of those artists have better albums than Stevie's classical period. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotboy06 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Also, I need to know who had the most entries as an artist... Someone said Janet is in an elite group with three albums on the list.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aretha was one of very few with 4 I believe. Beyonce and Taylor has 2. Mariah and Whitney only had ONE. Don’t ask!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always rank her highly on these lists. Not saying she doesn't deserve a spot, but those albums are a bit too high when I could immediately think of half a dozen albums that should be ranked higher... in R&B alone. Not to mention pop and hip hop. I do like how they were more inclusive this time. I just feel like some of it was pandering tbh. Like Blonde and Take Care in the top 100 albums of all time? Yeah, um... okay. And why doesn't anyone every include Brandy's albums in these lists? Her first 3 albums are R&B classics! Same with Usher. His second 3 albums are R&B classics, Confessions being the most influential R&B album of the century (it's down at #432, didn't expect him to be on here at all tbh).
