Drizzy Drake is named “Best Artist” of 2015 by iTunes/Apple Music.

The same as Billboard, iTunes/Apple Music released their “Best Of 2015″ list last week that has both editorial picks and chart numbers.
Drake was named this year -“Best Artist”.
Unfortunately his album “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late″ was close to be number 1 on the most downloaded top albums of 2015, but he just lost out to Adele and her 25 album.
Congratulations to Drake being iTunes/Apple Music‘s “Best Artist” of 2015.
As I said Drake is Apple's choice for best artist of the year. 

For additional material you can check the rest of the list below:
• Best Artist: Drake
• Best New Artist: Bryson Tiller
• Best Song: “Can’t Feel My Face”, The Weekend
• Favorite Movie Titles: Mad Max, Amy, Inside Out, Dope
• Favorite Independent Films: The Imitation Game, Birdman, Ex Machina, The Theory of Everything, and Whiplash
• Most Innovative iPhone App: Workflow
• iPad App of the Year: The Robot Factory
• iPad Game of the Year: Prune
• Most Innovative iPad App: LiquidText

The top albums of the year - most downloaded, that is, include the following:
1. Adele - 25
2. Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late
3. Taylor Swift - 1989
4. Fifty Shades of Grey (original motion picture soundtrack)
5. Justin Bieber - Purpose

The top-selling movies of the year include the following:
1. Star Wars (Digital Movie Collection)
2. Big Hero 6
3. American Sniper
4. Inside Out
5. Kingsman: The Secret Service

Oddly Apple chooses to organize their top-selling TV shows by best-selling season instead of episode - likely because that's how people purchase. Who ever heard of buying one, single episode of a show?
1. Game of Thrones (Season 5)
2. The Walking Dead (Season 6)
3. Dowton Abbey (Season 5)
4. Scandal (Season 5)
5. The Blacklist (Season 3)

Apple wisely separates the best-selling books down the middle: non-fiction and fiction. First we've got the Fiction books top five:
1. The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
2. Grey - EL James
3. Fifty Shades of Grey - EL James
4. Fifty Shades Darker - EL James
5. Paper Towns - John Green

Then we have non-fiction:
1. American Sniper - Chris Kyle
2. Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand
3. The Live Changing Magic of Tidying Up - Marie Kondo
4. The Boys in the Boat - Daniel James Brown
5. Dead Wake - Erik Larson

Apple's choices for BEST app of the year included the following
1. Periscope
2. Enlight
3. Robinhood - Free Stock Trading

Apple's choices for BEST game of the year included:
1. Lara Croft GO
2. Fallout Shelter
3. Mr Jump

The top "paid" apps of 2015 for iOS included:
1. Heads Up!
2. Minecraft: Pocket Edition
3. Trivia Crack (Ad Free)
4. Five Nights at Freddy's 2
5. Facetune

The top "free" apps of 2015 for iOS were:
1. Trivia Crack
2. Messenger (that's Facebook Messenger, to be clear)
3. Dubsmash
4. Instagram
5. Snapchat

Just remember these are "editorial picks," not "most downloaded."
