NEW YORK (AP) – To no surprise, Adele’s “25” is the best-selling album on iTunes for 2015.

Apple announced Wednesday that Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” was the year’s biggest single, while Adele’s “Hello” is sixth on the songs list.

Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking out Loud,” Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again,” Maroon 5’s “Sugar” and “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon ranked second through fifth, respectively.

Coincidently, “Uptown Funk” and “Thinking out Loud” earned Grammy nominations for record of the year on Monday, while “Thinking out Loud” and “See You Again” will compete for song of the year.

Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” was second behind “25” on the albums list. Drake’s album with fellow rapper-singer Future, “What a Time to Be Alive,” ranked sixth.
