Shazam Exceeds a Quarter of a Billion Users Worldwide

Published on:

­Music recognition service, Shazam today announced that it has achieved the major milestone of exceeding a quarter of a billion users globally.

Shazam also announced that it has expanded its Shazam for TV™ second-screen service in the USA to support TV programming on any channel. Now, Shazam customers can use the app as a "TV companion app" with any TV show in the U.S. to access cast details and photos, music in the show, celebrity gossip, trivia, celebrity tweets, and links to additional information, plus the ability to instantly share and comment on the show or episode on Facebook and Twitter.

"Over the last year, Shazam has been testing and learning what works by building dozens of custom interactive second-screen experiences for select television shows and events," said Doug Garland, chief revenue officer. "We've applied what we've learned to our newly expanded service, and will continue to work closely with our network partners and show producers to build special, unique second-screen experiences for their tent-pole television events and many of the most popular shows on TV."

In addition to expanding Shazam for TV, Shazam is also enhancing its social features for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android devices.
