Apple Music launches new ‘Viral’ playlist fueled by Shazam activity


Apple Music just launched a new ‘Viral Chart’ playlist for users, and it’s powered by daily data updates from Shazam users.

That means the Viral Chart playlist will be updated daily, so it always features the top 50 songs that Shazam users are discovering within a given 24-hour period. Shazam’s new Viral Chart playlist doesn’t just track TikTok hits—it captures the full spectrum of songs blowing up right now, whether through streaming, socials, TV placements, or that random 2004 banger suddenly resurfacing at bars and baseball games. Here, you’ll find today’s fastest-growing sounds from around the world, identified by millions of curious listeners frantically hitting that Shazam button.
