The Canadian rapper tops Apple Music's year-end UK album and singles charts, with his UK number-one album Views and the smash 'One Dance' reigning over all competitors.
On the singles side, Drizzy finished ahead of Lukas Graham's breakthrough '7 Years' and mega-producer Calvin Harris's banger 'This is What You Came For'.
