Beyoncé's highly acclaimed album "Lemonade" is still getting its flowers, and it has just been recognized by Apple Music as the No. 10 best album of all time.
Apple released its top 10 picks for its 100 best albums on Wednesday with Beyoncé's 2016 project entering the list at the No. 10 spot and the top spot going to "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill."
Beyoncé released "Lemonade" April 23, 2016, along with visuals in the form of a 65-minute film.
In addition to Apple Music, the album has been regarded as one of the best albums by many publications. The Associated Press named it the greatest album of the 2010s. In 2017, the album was nominated for nine Grammy Awards. The visuals received 11 nominations at 2016 MTV Video Music Awards and four nominations at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards.
"Lemonade" also won a Peabody Award in entertainment, in addition to many other accolades.

Just a few days prior, Beyoncé's self-titled 2013 album ranked No. 36 on Apple's best albums list, making her the only female artist to have two entries. The Beatles, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Radiohead also appeared on the list twice apiece. Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, came in at No. 13 with "The Blueprint."
According to a release, the list was narrowed down by a committee that included artists, Apple Music employees, and industry insiders. The California-based company said the list is a "love letter to the records that have shaped the world we live and listen in."
However, the tech giant did not factor streaming statistics when compiling the list.
