Shazam Surpasses 100 Billion Song Recognitions

The music recognition service, now integrated into Apple devices, celebrates a milestone highlighting global music discovery trends.

Shazam has identified over 100 billion songs since its launch in 2002, equivalent to 12 songs for every person on Earth.
Originally an SMS-based service in the UK, Shazam gained widespread popularity after becoming an app in 2008 and joining Apple's ecosystem in 2018.
The most Shazamed song of all time is Tones and I's 'Dance Monkey,' with over 45 million recognitions.
Recent updates include seamless integration with iOS, macOS, and watchOS, such as Music Recognition widgets and Action button shortcuts on newer Apple devices.
Shazam continues to support Android users, with enhancements like Wear OS updates enabling music identification directly from smartwatches.
