Apple shared some fun comparisons for this statistic:
– That’s equivalent to 12 songs identified for every person on Earth.
– A person would need to use Shazam to identify a song every second for 3,168 years to reach 100 billion.
– That’s more than 2,200x the number of identifications of Shazam’s top song ever, “Dance Monkey,” with over 45 million tags.
– Shazam Predictions 2023 alum Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” was the first track released this year to hit 10 million recognitions, and the fastest, doing so in 178 days. At that pace, it would take more than 4,800 years for it to hit 100 billion.
Apple acquired Shazam in 2018, and it now powers the Music Recognition feature built into iOS and macOS.
