Apple Music has unveiled its official top 20 most streamed artistes of all time, with Drake claiming the number one position as the platform’s most streamed artiste ever.
The new chart follows last year’s top 500 most streamed songs list, released as part of Apple Music’s 10th anniversary celebrations since the platform launched on June 30, 2015.
Drake, who took the stage to present Apple Music at its official launch event in 2015, has now cemented his place in streaming history. In 2025, he was also crowned the most-streamed rapper on the platform.
Known for his consistent output, global appeal, and chart dominance year after year, the “Plot Twist” rapper continues to break records. He is followed by Taylor Swift in second place, Future in third, NBA YoungBoy Never Broke Again in fourth, and Bad Bunny in fifth.
Of the 20 artistes on the list, 12 are rappers or primarily hip-hop artistes. This strong presence underscores hip-hop’s massive dominance in streaming over the past decade.
