Since its’ birth the year before Y2K, Shazam seems to be the only tech continuing to rule the world. It has connected 500 million people with music they didn’t know and has seemingly changed the way we experience music.
Before the year comes to a close and all the NYE madness goes down, we are taking a look back into how you’ve been using Shazam this past year. Seeing what the top tracks are, who was Shazamed the most and who are the predicted hit-makers of 2015.
The numbers are in and John Legend, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea, Lorde, OneRepublic, Disclosure, Magic! and Jason Derulo are the top Shazamed artists in the USA. Avicii and David Guetta top the list for the most Shazamed artists worldwide, with Clean Bandit and Calvin Harris also Making the list.
Shazam has also made their predictions for who they think are poised to take over 2015. The list includes artist such as Echosmith and Years & Years -who feature on The Magician’s summer hit “Sunlight”-, and to our complete amazement the two future house figureheads, Tchami and Oliver Heldens. Heres what they had to say about the two.
Tchami: This French producer is one of the few acts that have broken into the Shazam charts with only specialist radio and club playing his music. His song, ‘Promesses’, is going to be a big cross over hit early next year.
Oliver Heldens: This Dutch 19 year old is already a massive DJ and a huge draw at festivals but 2015 could see him go to the next level of dance music stardom. His new track, ‘Koala’, is currently one of the most reactive dance records on Shazam.
