Shazam recognizes any song in a few seconds. A song by German DJ Robin Schulz is one of the most wanted tracks.
The Shazam application, which is popular with music fans and is available for iOS devices and Android, has reached a new milestone. The service, which was launched in 2002, now has more than 200 million active users per month.
With the app, users can search for song titles or their artists – and they usually find what they are looking for quickly. Among other things, the application automatically recognizes songs that are currently being played in the area. But which songs are most sought after? Shazam has published a list of the 100 most searched songs in the world using the app. The German DJ and producer Robin Schulz (33) can almost secure the throne.
