British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran secures the top spot with "Shape of You." Notably, he also reappears with "Perfect" further down the Apple Music list. "Shape of You" was released in 2017 as part of Sheeran's album Divide. It broke multiple records on Apple Music, including the highest number of first-day global streams and the most days at No. 1 across different countries on the platform.

Coming in right behind on Apple Music's top 500 streamed songs of the past decade is The Weeknd with "Blinding Lights." It was released in late 2019 as part of his After Hours album. The track saw an extended run in Apple Music's Global Daily Top 100. It spent over 180 days in the top 10. The Canadian artist also dominates the R&B/soul category with nine entries in the Apple Music Top 500.

Next is Drake, who is the artist with the most entries in this list. With 27 songs featured on Apple Music's list, the rapper holds the record for most entries by a single artist. His hits "God’s Plan" (No. 3), "One Dance," "Nonstop," "Nice For What," and "In My Feelings" are a few of them.
