He released one album during that time, putting out $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PartyNextDoor back in February. That project featured several popular singles, including "Nokia," "Gimme a Hug," and "Somebody Loves Me." The two also embarked on a tour in support of the album.

Drake's "Iceman" Livestreams
To promote the singles, Drake has been hosting livestream events to engage with fans. He recently spoke with Complex about how that process has allowed him to benefit from receiving feedback in real-time. “It wasn't something we spoke about, but it's inherently a byproduct of this idea. Being outside and getting a chance to interact with fans, and initiate audience participation as well as feedback has been amazing," he said. "We're likely to end every episode in a public location as a through line, and also to enhance the live element. Some people have picked up on this. It’s also incredible to see people theorizing and either picking up on things or creating their own narratives.”
Drake still hasn't confirmed a release date for Iceman, but he has hinted at dropping it before the end of 2025. Until then, he's still got one more livestream in store.
As for other top artists on Apple Music in 2025, Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "luther" remained one of the most popular singles, despite releasing back in 2024. The "Top Songs of 2025" in the United States also includes tracks by Morgan Wallen, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Lil Baby, and more.
