2017 has come and is quickly wrapping up. This year we’ve seen some of our favorite artists return to the music scene, like Eminem and his expected Revival, and there were a few break out artists that also took over the year.

Spotify has just released their 2017 list of the most streamed artists and it looks like Drake has finally been dethroned by pop singer Ed Sheeran.

Since holding the title for two years in a row, Drizzy now comes in a close second with losing to Sheeran’s more than 6.3 billion streams. The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar also round out the Top 5 list of most streamed artist.
