How to see your Shazam data

If someone has used Shazam to identify your song, Apple Music for Artists will incorporate that data throughout your artist profile.

In the Overview section, you can view key metrics such as Shazam Insights and Shazam Count.

Trends show detailed demographics about your Shazam listeners. In contrast, Places show which countries or regions Shazam you the most.

Charting on Shazam

A Shazam chart will appear in your artist profile when you have a top Shazam track in a country, region, or city. The chart data updates every 24 hours and will display your track’s position and movement on the chart in a given country, region, or city in the last seven days.

To view the Shazam Charts for your top songs, click the Shazam Charts widget from the Overview section of Measure. Select a specific song to see every country, region, or city chart that the track appears. To see the Top Charts for your Top Songs, click See All in the Charting on Shazam section of Overview.

When does a Shazam count toward my songs?

Whenever someone uses Shazam to identify your songs, you will see it counted as a Shazam in your Apple Music for Artists profile.

Because Shazam listens to a piece of audio from a song to recognize it, there may be times when that piece of audio happens to be identical to one from a different version of the same song. For example, an original version of a song and a remix version of that same song, often include audio pieces that are the same. In these cases, the Shazam will count toward the version of your song that is determined to be the best match, which is why you may see variations in the Shazam count across different versions of the same tracks.

We process the Shazam data shown in Apple Music for Artists and the Shazam app on different systems and schedules. For this reason, you may see a difference in the Shazam count shown and Shazam Charts data on the Apple Music for Artists dashboard when compared to the Shazam app.
