NEW YORK – Drake was all over Apple Music this year, so perhaps no surprise the rapper tops the iTunes music lists as well.

Drake’s album “Views” was the best-seller in iTunes, while his hit “One Dance” was the most popular single. Drake debuted his album on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio back in the spring.

Rihanna, who collaborated with Drake on her smash “Work,” held the No. 2 spot on the top album’s list with “Anti,” while Adele’s “25,” Frank Ocean’s “Blonde” and Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” rounded out the top five.

Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” was the No. 2 song of the year, followed by Rihanna’s “Work,” Flo Rida’s “My House” and Lukas Graham’s “7 Years.”

The list is determined by iTunes downloads and streams from Apple Music, which has over 20 million subscribers.
