6. Cast Album Hooks No. 1 Spot

Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda’s combination of classic Broadway and slivers of operetta, with R&B, hip hop, and rap, has won over more than just fans. It was the first cast album to reach the number one spot on the Billboard Rap Album chart, making history with its impressive range of music. That’s right, the music and lyrics were so on point that they were recognized in a way that most can only dream of. Lyrics are peppered with rap references, samples, historical facts and homages to other musicals. It’s complex, layered poetry that boggles the mind while pleasing the ear.
