SHAZAM THIS!

Shazam is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a commemorative playlist boasting the most Shazammed song of each year for the past two decades.

Hits like Train's "Hey, Soul Sister," Sia’s “Cheap Thrills," Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" and Drake's "One Dance" dot the genre-agnostic set. Find the playlist here.

Speaking of milestones, in May Shazam participated in a huge pop-culture moment when Kate Bush’s 1985 song “Running Up That Hill” was featured extensively in Season 4 of the smash Netflix series Stranger Things; the track resided at #1 on the Shazam Global Top 200 for 10 days—longer than any other cut in 2022—and reached the top 25 of the national charts.

The app was launched in 2002 as a text-message service out of the U.K. and joined the Apple family in 2018. As of this year, it's collected more than 70b Shazams.

Speaking of "all thumbs," HITS is about to mark an anniversary of its own. In our case, though, "celebrating" would probably be stretching it.
