Emerging Trends in Music
summary
Shazam reports 450 million devices, about 92 million monthly users and roughly 18 million tags per day, driving nearly $300 million in music sales last year and sending many streaming subscribers to partners. A recent artist campaign generates 2 million Shazams in three days and the Grammys broadcast hits 1.1 million tags. Location and time-stamped tag maps track how songs spread, labels use feeds of unsigned acts, and Shazam claims it can predict Billboard charts 2–3 weeks ahead.
