Apple Music, in collaboration with chart-tracking account @chartdata, have rolled out the platform's all-time top 20 most-streamed artists.

Drake is the platform’s top-streamed artist, followed by Taylor Swift and then Future. Rounding out the top five are YoungBoy Never Broke Again at No. 4 and Bad Bunny at No. 5.

The full confirmed list (aside from the top five, as previously mentioned), from No. 20 down, is Eminem, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Rod Wave, Gunna, Lil Durk, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, Post Malone, Kanye West, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd at No. 7, and Lil Baby at No. 6.

It’s no surprise that Drake is ranked at the top spot, and his record-breaking trio of albums, Iceman, Maid of Honor, and Habibti, earned the rapper some new achievements under his belt. On both Spotify and Apple Music, he became their most-streamed artist in a single day of the year following their releases. Apple Music also named him its most-streamed artist of 2026, with more than 60 songs charting simultaneously on the U.S. Apple Music chart. He holds 27 songs in Apple Music's all-time top 500 most-streamed tracks, more than any other artist.

Drake’s new music continues to reign over not just Apple Music’s charts, but also the Billboard 200. Earlier this month, it was announced that Drake’s Iceman held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for a third straight week. Drake’s Iceman earned 171,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the week ending June 4.

At the time, the achievement made Iceman one of five Drake albums to spend at least three weeks atop the Billboard 200, with the first one doing so being 2021’s Certified Lover Boy, which spent five weeks at No. 1.
