Every December, Billboard releases their annual “Artist of the Year” list. This year, four of the spots out of 10 went to musicians from Toronto.

The Weeknd, Drake, Justin Bieber, and Sean Mendez all claimed spots in Billboard’s “Artist of the Year” list, all listed in the top 10, while Alessia Cara came in at 38.

In the end, it was Drake who brought it all home by being anointed Hot 100 Artist of the Year. Drake’s most recent album Views went quadruple platinum this month and he was nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including the coveted and contentious album of the year award.

You might say he started in Degrassi, now he’s here.
