List of Discoteca Básica 500 Greatest Brazilian Music Records
The 500 greatest Brazilian music records were chosen by a voting process run by the Discoteca Básica podcast. The top 10 were announced in May 2022, and the full list was published as a book in December 2022.
Ricardo Alexandre led the voting, which consulted 162 experts from fields like journalism, YouTube, podcasts, music, stores, and production. Each expert recommended 50 albums. Notable participants included Nelson Motta, Jotabê Medeiros, Mauro Ferreira, Sergio Martins, Pupillo, Kassin, Leoni, Lampadinha, and André Abujamra.
It was the largest and most comprehensive LPs and CDs voting ever held in Brazil.
The book presenting the list was funded by crowdfunding. The graphic design was by Fernando Pires, former art editor of Bizz magazine.
At the time, Discoteca Básica was Brazil’s largest music podcast, with about 1.5 million downloads in its first three seasons and top-10 rankings on major Brazilian streaming platforms.
The 500 greatest Brazilian albums are listed in the accompanying chart.
