To mark a decade of its operation, Apple Music has unveiled the list of top artists on the service, with rapper Drake taking the top spot.
Apple Music's Decade Chart: Drake leads the list
For the first time since its launch on June 30, 2015, the streaming platform Apple Music has published a ranking of the 20 most-streamed artists in the service's history. According to a report on the channel Раньше всех. Ну почти., this is an initiative marking the milestone of a decade of the service's operation, following the previous publication of a ranking of the 500 best songs.
At the top of the list stands Canadian rapper Drake, who was ranked as the most popular artist. Rounding out the top five, in order of appearance, are: Taylor Swift, Future, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Bad Bunny. The channel Медиавойны, known for its critical political stance toward the West and its leaders, confirmed these figures and noted that this is a first-of-its-kind ranking for the streaming giant.
The publication, originally revealed by the Russian newspaper "Kommersant" and reported in ГлавМедиа, provides a glimpse into the consumption patterns of hundreds of millions of the service's users over the last decade. Until now, the company kept these figures under a veil of business secrecy, but the current move is part of an extensive campaign to mark the platform's 10th birthday.
