Shazam Launches Viral Charts Because We All Need Another Way To Judge Our Music Taste

Shazam has officially unveiled its Viral Charts, promising to deliver the fastest-growing songs in real-time based on unique data signals. This daily-updated infographic of sound raises a crucial question: will this help or hurt your already questionable playlist?

The new charts track everything from social media hits to sounds igniting cultural moments globally, capturing a wide spectrum of tunes. So, whether through a viral TikTok dance or an awkward karaoke session, these charts will showcase how quickly songs can rise and fall in popularity. How revolutionary!

Digging more into chart history, Shazam highlights how unorthodox methods have catapulted tracks into the limelight, including Doechii's “Anxiety” and Billy Preston's “Nothing From Nothing,” which cruises at No. 4 thanks to *The White Lotus.* Will pop culture's next epic moment finally justify your binge-watching marathon?

In a surprising twist, 2024’s Shazam Top 100 featured 31 songs predating 2022, including classics like “Unwritten” and “Bloody Mary”. Apparently, nostalgia is thriving like a well-watered houseplant. What’s next, a resurgence of baggy jeans and MySpace layouts along with new music?

As if that isn’t enough, the Shazam Viral Charts promise access to breakout hits and local treasures all in one convenient place across **42 national charts.** Plus, the global chart features the top 50 songs, and national charts present the top 25. So your new favorite jam? It’s probably a viral sensation that your friends never saw coming!
