Shazam Statistics and User Count (2023)
Last Updated on: March 13th, 2023
Here are a few of the most interesting Shazam statistics and facts I was able to dig up including Shazam user counts. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
Shazam is a mobile app that allows users to identify music, movies, TV shows, and other audio content by simply holding their phone up to the source of the sound. The app uses audio recognition technology to identify the content and then provides users with information such as the title, artist, album, and other related details.
Shazam was founded in 1999 by Chris Barton, Philip Inghelbrecht, Avery Wang, and Dhiraj Mukherjee. The app was initially released for iOS in 2008 and has since expanded to other platforms, including Android and Windows Phone.
In addition to identifying audio content, Shazam also provides users with links to purchase or stream the content through various platforms, such as Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon. The app also offers other features, such as the ability to share discovered content with friends and view lyrics.
Shazam has become a popular tool for music lovers and has been downloaded more than 1 billion times worldwide. The app has also been integrated into various other products and services, such as Snapchat and Apple’s Siri virtual assistant. In 2018, Shazam was acquired by Apple Inc. for an estimated $400 million.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Shazam statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
