Apple made one of its biggest acquisitions in 2018, buying music recognition app Shazam for $400 million. Since then, it has been integrated into devices with the bitten apple logo and many improvements are expected in iOS 16. But since its launch in the UK in 2022, it’s been 20 years and by then Apple has remembered many highlights around you. .

Thanks to a playlist on Apple Music that we shared below, we can remember the most “shazamed” songs in the year since the app’s launch.

At this party over 20 years of Shazam, Apple spared a few words to recognize its massive impact, in a statement it shared this Friday.

A mainstay in popular culture, the platform has changed the way people interact with music by making song identification accessible to everyone. For over 225 million global monthly users, ‘Shazam’ is discovering something new.

And the most “shazamed” song…

Apple has divided app registrations into several categories to better understand its development, as shown below:

Important dates for Shazam:

August 2002: Shazam launched as a UK-based messaging service. Back then, users could identify songs by pressing and holding “2580” on their phone while a song was playing. An SMS message was then sent to them saying the name of the song and the name of the artist.

July 2008: New launches in App Store. Shazam released its Android version in October 2008.

April 2015: Available on the first Apple Watch.

September 2018: Joining the Apple family.

June 2021: exceeds one billion Shazams per month.

May 2022: It exceeds 2 billion lifetime installs.

August 2022: Celebrate 20 years of music discovery and reach 70 billion every time.
