Canadian rapper Drake's hit album "Views" has become the first album on Apple Music (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/) to be streamed more than 1 billion times, according to an award Drake shared on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BKz5ILyjXra/?taken-by=champagnepapi) this morning.

Drake received the news from Apple CEO Tim Cook (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/), iTunes chief Eddy Cue (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/eddy-cue/), and his former manager Cortez Bryant, all of whom he posed with for a second photo that was also uploaded to his Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/p/BKz5AHfDnK7/?taken-by=champagnepapi).
Released on April 29, "Views" was an Apple Music exclusive (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/29/drake-new-album-views-available-itunes/) for one week before it became available on other streaming music services like Spotify and it sold more than 1 million copies (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/09/drakes-views-million-copies/) during its five-day exclusivity window. Apple and Drake have been working together since Apple Music launched in June of 2015, with Drake offering a Beats 1 radio show and Apple sponsoring his "Summer Sixteen" tour.

Just this morning, Drake debuted a 23-minute short (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/26/drake-please-forgive-me-apple-music/) called "Please Forgive Me," which is designed to be a visual companion to the "Views" album. The video, which is also an Apple Music exclusive, follows Drake and his girlfriend as they attempt to make off with a wealthy man's fortune. The songs "One Dance," "Controlla," "9," Views," and more are used in the short.
