Frank Ocean released his long-awaited album "Blonde" on Apple Music over the weekend, and critics are already lauding the breezy, innovative pop album as one of the year's best works.  

While "Blonde" is also reportedly on track to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, Ocean's fans are still delving into the other media the singer has released since last Friday - including a 45-minute "visual album" and a 366-page magazine that was given out at pop-up stores in different cities.

The eclectic zine features a mix of art, photography, and written pieces, including a rambling, downright ridiculous free-verse poem from Kanye West about his love-hate relationship with McDonald's. 

As Genius points out, though, one of the best hidden surprises in the magazine is a list of Ocean's favorite songs.

The extensive, genre-bending playlist of 50 songs jumps from icons like Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and The Beatles to modern-day greats like James Blake and D'Angelo. Like "Blonde," Ocean's playlist is captivating, enigmatic, and awesome.
