"Shazam is adding social features to try to become more than just a blue button"

Excerpts from the longer article:

For many, Shazam is just a magic blue button that tells you what song is playing at the bar or on the radio. Considering how daunting a task being able to identify the world's music is, it does this very well. But, the company wants to be more than this. At a event in TriBeCa Monday, the company announced a new feature where users of the app can follow their favorite artists and see what they're Shazaming.

Artists will be able to choose what music they share with their followers and users will be able to "like" the tracks they share. Shazam will also now show how many times a track has been Shazamed, in addition to the charts it already has.

For artists, this product gives a new way to interact with fans. In an interview with Mashable Singer Adam Lambert said "I'm on social media blasting out [to fan's] songs all the time, so I think this will be a more practical hands-on thing." Lambert also notes Shazam is an interesting means of discovery for artists because listeners come to the music without any preconceived notions. It "lets the music be front and center."

I already noticed Adam's shazams on my Shazam app home page. He shazamed some cool tracks. Some on his playlist on Spotify. I'm curious where their collaboration with Apple Music will go.
