  • Ranking Drake Covers, from Lykke Li's 'Hold On, We're Going Home' to Florence +The Machine's 'Take Care' and More

    Lykke Li covering Drake's "Hold On We're Going Home" has several media outlets excited today, although the song was first performed by the Swedish alt star during 2014.

We gathered five Drake covers from the Arctic Monkeys to Florence + The Machine and more, ranking them accordingly.
