Skladby storočia

Zoznam skladieb storočia je časťou vzdelávacieho projektu, ktorý vznikol v USA v spolupráci organizácii Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA- Americká asociácia hudobného priemyslu), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA- Národná nadácia pre umenie) a Scholastic Corporation (SC- Školské vydavateľstvo pre publikáciu vzdelávacích materiálov). Zámerom tohto projektu bolo sprehľadniť pre študentov amerických škôl kultúrny odkaz hudobného vývoja populárnej hudby 20. storočia.

Na výber 365 skladieb, ktoré sa svojou jedinečnosťou zapísali do povedomia populárnej hudby 20. storočia boli v roku 2001 oslovení voliči, ktorí boli vybraní z významných predstaviteľov hudobného priemyslu, médií, učiteľov, študentov. Voličov vybrala 200 členná skupina ľudí, ktorých zpomedzi 1 300 vytypovaných respondentov vybrala asociácia RIAA.
