A global
TikTok sensation is the Biggest Mover on the
Shazam U.S. Top 100, while four brand-new tracks are getting lots of phones pointed at speakers.
Videoclub’s “Amour plastique” (
Petit Lion/
Sony), originally released five years ago, has been building new audiences online, particularly in connection with the upcoming historical drama
Napoleon.
Bunched closely on the Biggest Movers list are new arrivals led by
Rod Wave’s “Great Gatsby” (
Alamo).
Shakira & Fuerza Regida’s “El Jefe” (
Ace/
Sony),
Doja Cat’s ode to sex in her secluded mansion, “Agora Hills” (
Kemosabe/
RCA), and the first record from
blink-182 in a dozen years, “ONE MORE TIME” (
Columbia), are making an impression on stateside Shazammers.
U.K. Shazammers, on the other hand, are grooving to a lot of vintage tracks as songs by
The Stooges,
Shuggie Otis,
Jeff Buckley,
The Mamas & The Papas and
Nina Simone get thumbs a-waggin’.
