Drake was all over Apple Music this year, so it’s perhaps no surprise the rapper tops the iTunes music lists as well.

Drake’s album Views was the bestseller 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 more than 20 million subscribers.
