Apple’s Shazam Rolls Out ‘Popular Segments’ on the Web to Show a Song’s Most‑Tagged Moments

The feature gives artists new visibility into listener attention using aggregated weekly Shazam tags.

Overview

  • Popular Segments is available now on Shazam.com for desktop and mobile web, initially for tracks that appear on Shazam’s charts.
  • An interactive graph displays relative interest across a song and reveals precise time markers when users hover over segments.
  • The insights reflect the previous week’s identification activity based on Shazam tag volume rather than predictions or editorial curation.
  • Apple Music executive Ole Obermann said the data pinpoints the exact moments that captured listeners’ attention.
  • Apple did not announce if or when the feature will come to the Shazam iPhone or iPad apps.
