Rapper Eminem is no longer Spotify's "most-streamed artist of all time." The popular online music service just released an official Year in Music review for 2015, and English crooner Ed Sheeran finally snagged the prestigious title from the infamous Detroit emcee.

Reports confirm that with 59 million listeners just over the past 12 months, Sheeran ultimately garnered three billion Spotify streams overall. Check out these "Top 5" lists as observed in the UK (via Official Charts):

And finally, Drake was named this year's "most-streamed artist on the plane" with 1.8 billion streams and a whopping 46 million listeners.

Interestingly enough, RiRi never released her highly-anticipated new album Anti and she STILL remains the top-streaming female artist. Maybe it's finally time for her to get back in the studio with Slim Shady?

Several loyal #Stans still hope that the beloved "Rap God" might release some fresh beats sometime in 2016. Now that he's no longer "Number 1," maybe he'll be even more motivated? Stay tuned!

Another fun fact - Sheeran's actually a huge Eminem fan...
