Drake, The Weeknd, and Ed Sheeran have claimed top spots on Apple Music’s Top 500 Streamed Songs of the Decade list, released in celebration of the platform’s 10-year anniversary.
Ed Sheeran’s global smash “Shape of You” landed at No. 1, having broken the record for the biggest pop song in Apple Music history by worldwide first-day streams when it dropped in 2017, according to Variety.
Right behind him is The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” at No. 2, followed by Drake’s “God’s Plan” at No. 3. The Weeknd, who has nine songs featured on the list, dominates the R&B/soul category. Drake’s “God’s Plan” holds the title of the most-streamed rap song in Apple Music history, and he also has the most entries overall — 27 songs in total.
Post Malone claims back-to-back spots at No. 4 and No. 5 with “Sunflower” featuring Swae Lee and “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage.
Rounding out the top 10 are:
- Drake’s “One Dance”
- Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode”
- Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”
- Chris Brown’s “No Guidance”
- Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy”
Other standout entries include Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” at No. 100 — the only holiday track on the list — and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” which sits at No. 60 as the highest-ranking country song.
Billie Eilish ties The Weeknd with nine tracks on the list, securing the most entries for an alternative artist. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift follows closely behind Drake with 14 songs, making her the second-most represented artist overall.
Apple Music officially launched on June 30, 2015. Check out the full Top 500 list now.
