RiRi comes out on top amidst the painful wait for her new album.

Rihanna might not have released that elusive new album Anti yet, but it hasn't stopped her from being amongst the most-streamed artists of 2015.

Spotify's released its annual Year In Music top lists, and some of the results might surprise you.

While RiRi was the most streamed female artist, Drake has taken the overall crown for most streamed artist around the world.

nsurprisingly, Ed Sheeran is the UK's most streamed artist of the year, while Justin Bieber can brag the most streams in a single day.

Pretty impressive considering Rihanna hasn't released an album since 1872

On a more negative note, someone named Ed Sheeran has become the most streamed artist on Spotify
