Drake is moststream­ed artist

-

Drake was a dominate force on Apple Music as the platform’s most-streamed artist of the year globally.

Apple announced on Tuesday that Drake’s Scorpion was the top album in iTunes, while his hit God’s Plan was the most popular single. The rapper’s song Nice for What came in second and In My Feelings at No 4.

Drake’s fifth studio album had four other songs in the top 100 including Nonstop, I’m Upset, Mob Ties and Don’t Matter To Me, featuring Michael Jackson. He was also featured on Lil Baby’s Yes Indeed, Migos’ Walk It Talk It and BlockBoy JB’s Look Alive.

Post Malone’s songs Rockstar and Psycho were in the top 5. His album Beerbongs & Bentleys was the second-most streamed followed by Cardi B’s, the late XXXTentaci­on and Travis Scott.

And it should also come as no surprise, but Drake is the king of Spotify, too: He is the platform’s most-streamed artist of the year globally.

Spotify announced Tuesday that the rapper earned 8.2 billion streams in 2018. He also has the year’s most-streamed album and song with Scorpion and God’s Plan.
