• Shazam is not technically a streaming app, but rather an app that detects the title, album, and artist of a song that is playing nearby.

​

• The app is important because it contributes to: ​

  • Apple Shazam Discovery Top 50 Chart

  • Shazam charts on Mediabase, a major database that supplies popularity data to radio & record industry professionals (AMA uses Shazam charts to pick nominees!)

​

• Shazam Charts on Apple & Mediabase are used by radio industry professionals to predict the next big hits, i.e. what artists radio stations should play & invest in!

​

• If Monsta X gets a lot of Shazam's rapidly over many cities, this creates trending data that will get them a lot of radio attention!

​

• Through Apple Music for Artists, Monsta X management can see where MX is Shazam'd the most - & that's where they will take concerts!

​

• The more you Shazam Monsta X, the more radioplay they get, and the more likely they are to hold a concert near you!
