Huge British popstar lands most streamed song EVER as they beat The Weeknd and Drake – can you guess who it is?

Apple Music has famously never disclosed the number of times a song is streamed publicly but now for the first time, they have released a list of who is topping the streaming charts.

While the site did not reveal the exact numbers, it was confirmed that a Brit superstar had been lucky enough to bag the top position.

Whilst crooner The Weeknd and hip-hop hunk Drake found themselves in second and third position, they were unable to know the British chart-topper from the global number one spot.

But can you guess who it is?

It is of course, Ed Sheeran.

The singer’s track, Shape Of You, has been confirmed to be Apple Music’s most streamed song ever.

The track went to number one across the globe and will come as no surprise to music fanatics that it is the most played track ever on the streaming service.

Blinding Lights by The Weeknd fell into second place whilst Drake’s track, God’s Plan, rounded out the top three.

Hip-hop music largely dominated the top ten with Post Malone bagging the fourth and fifth spots.

His Swae Lee collaboration, Sunflower, was the fourth most streamed track, whilst his hit, Rockstar, came in fifth.

Drake made his second appearance at number six with One Dance followed by fellow rapper, Travis Scott, in seventh with his monster hit, Sicko Mode.

Brit star Ed was back in the top ten with his ballad, Perfect, at number eight, followed by R&B legend Chris Brown‘s duet with Drake, No Guidance, at position nine.

Billie Eilish closed out the top ten with her track – Bad Guy.

This meant that Billie was the only woman to place in the top 10 of the list.

Rapper Drake appears on the top 500 more than any other artist with a total of 27 entries.
