In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Apple Music has unveiled its list of the 500 most-streamed songs of the decade, with Ed Sheeran’s global hit Shape of You taking the top spot.

The British singer-songwriter’s 2017 track has outperformed every other song on the platform in the past 10 years, beating The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights and Drake’s God’s Plan, which landed in second and third place respectively.

Upon its release, Shape of You shattered Apple Music’s record for the highest number of first-day streams and went on to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks. The track later earned Ed Sheeran a Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance in 2018.

The remainder of the top 10 features a mix of pop and hip-hop heavyweights. Post Malone makes two appearances with Sunflower alongside Swae Lee at No. 4 and Rockstar featuring 21 Savage at No. 5. Other chart-toppers include Drake’s One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla, Travis Scott’s Sicko Mode, Sheeran’s Perfect, Chris Brown’s No Guidance, and Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy.

Elsewhere on the list, The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s Closer ranks at No. 11, Kendrick Lamar’s Humble at No. 15, Ariana Grande’s 7 rings at No. 19, and BTS’ record-breaking Dynamite at No. 34.

Drake holds the title for the most entries on the list, with 27 songs making the cut. Taylor Swift follows with 14, while Mariah Carey secures a notable spot as the only artist with a holiday track in the upper rankings, her classic All I Want for Christmas Is You lands at No. 100.

To mark the milestone, Apple Music released a special playlist featuring the full 500-song lineup and shared an exclusive interview with Ed Sheeran. Reflecting on the enduring success of Shape of You, Sheeran told Zane Lowe, “No one can take away the song. I’ll be able to play it forever… I’m just grateful to have songs like that, where anywhere in the world, you can pick up a guitar and make someone happy.”

The full list of all most-streamed songs and playlist are now available for streaming on Apple Music.

Mariah Carey knows how to make an entrance, and at the 2025 BET Awards, she did exactly that.

To kick off her performance of “Type Dangerous,” the first single from her upcoming 16th studio album, the icon stepped on stage in a mini dress that was all about high-impact glamour. The gold-toned piece featured a sculpted bodice that hugged her torso, an asymmetric hemline that added a playful edge, and subtle pleating that gave the skirt a soft swish as she moved. Her jewellery game was equally strong. Massive hoop earrings, a bold stack of glittering silver bracelets, and chunky platform heels in a matching gold finish.

But she wasn’t done. When she returned to accept the BET Ultimate Icon Award, she switched into full diva mode with a second outfit that was nothing short of show-stopping. The gown was floor-length and silver, with a body-hugging corset top that framed her silhouette and a softly flared skirt that moved like liquid under the lights. The visible boning on the bodice gave a vintage-lingerie feel, while the sweetheart neckline added just the right touch of softness. She layered on a sparkling diamond necklace with a grand gemstone and kept the bracelets from earlier, giving her look a sense of continuity with a whole new level of elegance.

Sharing the stage with fellow honourees Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and Kirk Franklin, Carey accepted her award with warmth and gratitude, looking every bit the icon she is in two unforgettable outfits.
