SHAZAM TUTORIAL FOR
5 SECONDS OF SUMMER FAM

What is Shazam?

Shazam is a music discovery app, owned by Apple, that can identify a song by listening to a short sample (at least 10 seconds) of their audio. Radio stations use the data from Shazam to help determine the popularity of a song in the state and local areas—so the more Shazams for a song in your area the more chances they'll spin 5 Seconds of Summer's new single on your local station.
