Drake came in third with his 2018 track God’s Plan, which was featured on his fifth studio album Scorpion.
The Hotline Bling singer also achieved another massive feat in the list of 500 songs, that his was the most recurring name throughout the tally, appearing a total of 27 times on the extensive streaming record.
