The year is coming to a close so it’s about that time to hand out awards from different platforms. The world’s leader in streaming, Spotify, has just released some numbers to end 2015 and at the top is Drake. He was the most streamed artist of 2015, Top Global Artist, Top Male artist, Top U.S. artist and had the Top Album in the U.S.
