Apple Music has crowned Drake as the most-streamed rapper on its platform in 2025.
The announcement was made as part of Apple Music’s Replay feature for 2025, which provides listeners with an audio and visual recap of the songs and artists they streamed the most.
This isn’t the first time the “Its Up” rapper has topped streaming charts. In 2024, he was also named Spotify’s most-streamed rapper for the eighth consecutive year.
Notably, Drake’s “Nokia” from his joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR was named Drake’s biggest song on Apple Music this year, ranking as the 13th most-streamed song on the platform.
The album (Some Sexy Songs 4 U) also debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with nearly 250,000 first-week sales, while breaking the record for the most first-day streams on Apple Music for an R&B/Soul album.
While Drake dominated as the most-streamed rapper, while Rosé and Bruno Mars’ collaboration “APT” was named the most-streamed song of 2025. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” followed closely at number two, and Bruno Mars scored another top-five entry with “Die With A Smile” (feat. Lady Gaga).
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” takes the fourth spot, while Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rounds out the top five.
