Here are a few Shazam facts and statistics I was able to dig up so far including how many people use Shazam and much more. As with all of my stat posts, this one will be updated whenever I stumble on new and interesting stats.
When having a conversation about digital heavyweights, the odds are good that Shazam doesn’t come up all that often. Shazam is just one of those apps that we all have and generally take for granted. Since it doesn’t have the user-to-user interaction that social networks and messaging apps have, we don’t think about just how massive a user base Shazam has.
News came out this week that Shazam is about to be acquired by Apple. This news got me wondering what kind of usage an app like Shazam gets. What I found was pretty amazing….
