If they don't like a song there's no reason for then to Shazam it I thought Shazam was more about discovering songs through that sound identification thing?

Yes, so people use it to find the song, which many are doing as it's in one of the biggest films of the year, but aren't necessarily streaming the song on their commonly used platforms, such as Spotify?

I would assume so Regardless of the reason it's good. A high ranking on Shazam shows interest on the song. A song being new doesn't automatically chart well if people aren't interested in it Meanwhile sometimes songs that not brand new and are current hits still chart high on Shazam as I guess when exposure is high you still get a lot of people who live under rocks and only discover new music once it's everywhere That was my point on an earlier comment. The ranking on Shazam isn't just how new a song is. Many new ones fail to chart and some older ones hang on up there. Either way #6 is great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that would explain a stronger performance on YouTube But then why it doing so well on Shazam? It's not an old people app either They ask Siri what song is playing, and Siri uses Shazam, so that’s probably where the demands from ☠️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still a lot of younger adults especially when the total demand was so high Considering this movie is a sequel to an 80s movie it's not that surprising a few more older adults than usual went to see it But I think the percentage of younger people that saw it is because of EXTRA older people not because young people aren't going to see it too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstertoronto 8,742 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It’s #4 and #6 on Canadian iTunes right now. Doesn’t that still count for more than streaming because people are actually paying money for it. Are older people still using iTunes more than streaming?

Yes and no 1 sale counts a lot more than 1 stream but so few people buy music now a days that despite a sale being worth a lot more, the total impact on the charts is still predominantly by streaming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
