Years ago, you only had to rely on the people around you when you heard an unknown song that you absolutely wanted to know the name of. Unfortunately, if they weren’t able to help you, you were left to deal with your frustration.
Shazam has probably changed the lives of many of you. The application is able to recognize a song in just a few seconds and give you its title immediately. A real revolution that Apple confirms with an eloquent figure: Shazam has just reached the 100 billion songs recognized since the creation of the application.

Apple, owner of Shazam since 2018, proudly announces that the application has reached 100 billion identified titles. The apple brand takes great pleasure in putting this figure into perspective. 100 billion, that represents 12 songs identified for each person on Earth. You should searched for a song on Shazam every second for 3,168 years to reach this milestone. Dizzy.
Apple reminds that the song most often recognized by Shazam is “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I with over 45 million likes. In addition, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” became the most identified song in one minute on Shazam following the performance at the Stade de France by the French group, Phoenix and Angèle.
« This major milestone reflects not only the pleasure people have in using Shazam, but also their appetite for new musical releases. Music discovery is at the heart of everything we do, and we continue to innovate so that music lovers everywhere can hit the Shazam button, no matter where they hear music! », Rejoices Oliver Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and Beats.
Remember that when it was created in 2002, Shazam was an SMS service that users could use by dialing 2580. You then had to hold up your phone to identify music and receive its name by text message. In the summer of 2011, Shazam “only” had one billion recognized titles. This means that the app has reached the 100 billion milestone in just 13 years.
