As Apple Music celebrates its near 10-year anniversary, one thing is clear: Drake is still sitting comfortably at the top of the streaming world. The Toronto hitmaker has just made history once again, with 39 songs on Apple Music’s 500 Most Streamed Songs of All Time list—more than any other artist across genres. And, no, that’s not a typo. 39.
With his recent smash single “What Did I Miss?” shaking up timelines and his highly anticipated album ICEMAN on the horizon, Drake’s chart supremacy isn’t just intact—it’s expanding. It’s another reminder that in the world of commercial hip-hop, the 6ix God remains untouchable.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Unveiled in early July 2025, Apple Music’s list chronicles a decade of streaming dominance. While rising stars and veterans alike appear throughout, Drake leads with an unmatched presence, followed by Lil Baby (20 songs) and Taylor Swift (14 songs). But the kicker? Drake holds 4 of the top 10 most-streamed songs in Apple Music history:
- #3: “God’s Plan” – the most streamed hip-hop song ever on Apple Music.
- #6: “One Dance” (feat. WizKid & Kyla) – a genre-defining global smash.
- #7: “SICKO MODE” (Travis Scott feat. Drake) – the track that changed festival energy forever.
- #9: “No Guidance” (Chris Brown feat. Drake) – a hit that ruled radio and playlists alike.
Even when Drake isn’t the lead artist, his contributions drive the culture! The numbers prove it. His presence elevates, shapes, and often defines a song’s success. You can call it co-sign magic, or simply consistency at the highest level.
Eyes On ICEMAN & The Streaming Future
As fans and critics alike speculate on ICEMAN, one thing’s for sure: more entries on the streaming charts are coming. Singles like “NOKIA” are already building momentum, and “What Did I Miss?” has the culture talking again. As a result, it’s fueling headlines with Drake’s signature blend of lyrical precision and personal vendettas.
The diss-filled “What Did I Miss?” doesn’t just spark gossip—it’s a strategic move. While some listeners celebrate the song’s ruthlessness, others critique its message. But no matter which camp you’re in, you’re listening and that’s what Drizzy does best. He stays polarizing, relevant, and unstoppable.
From Streams To Statements
At this point in his career, Drake isn’t just collecting stats—he’s weaponizing them. Success has become his rebuttal to criticism. While his battles (most notably with Kendrick Lamar) have shifted the culture and fractured fan bases, Drake’s commercial armor remains uncracked. What Did I Miss? wasn’t just a track. In fact, it was a reminder that Drake plays the long game.
He may not be chasing accolades anymore, but he’s certainly not ignoring them. As Apple Music’s list proves, Drake is more than a dominant artist—he’s a digital-era blueprint.
Bottom line?
Drake holds more spots on Apple Music’s most streamed list than anyone else, and with ICEMAN on the way, that number’s likely to grow. In an ever-changing industry, one fact remains: Drake doesn’t miss. Stay tuned as the 6ix God’s next chapter is already loading.
