Apple Music Classical now has its own top 100 chart.
The Apple Classical Top 100, launched on Monday, is a “definitive list of today’s most popular classical albums globally,” Apple said. It combines five data sources from 165 countries to give you an overview of what’s hot in classical music. The data sources are all coming from Apple, though: Apple Music Classical streams, Apple Music streams, iTunes downloads, iTunes song sales, and Shazam tags.
According to Apple, the Apple Classical Top 100 will be updated every Monday. It can be found on the Apple Music Classical Home tab.

Right now, the chart is topped by Bach: Keyboard Concertos with Chinese pianist Tianqi Du and the Academy of St Martins in the Fields conducted by Jonathan Bloxham.
Apparently some newcomer called Bach is hot stuff right now.

Apple Music Classical is a free mobile app (there’s no desktop version for some reason) for Apple Music subscribers. As the name suggests it focuses on classical music, with a slightly redesigned interface, and support for classical categories like works, composers, and recordings. It also features expert recommendations and playlists, as well as exclusive artworks.
