Music discovery app Shazam has launched a new feature aimed at capturing the songs gaining momentum around the world. The Shazam Viral Charts, unveiled today, will offer a daily look at the tracks seeing the fastest growth in listener interest across 42 countries.

The charts—updated every day on both Shazam and Apple Music—draw on the platform’s unique listening data to rank songs based on week-over-week surges in Shazam activity. Unlike traditional charts that lean on streaming or radio play, the viral charts are designed to highlight the full range of how music spreads in 2025: through social media, television soundtracks, online trends, and more.

“Songs today take unpredictable routes to popularity,” Shazam said in a statement. “These charts are built to reflect that.”

Recent examples underscore that shift. Doechii’s track Anxiety found new life on TikTok, while Billy Preston’s 1974 song Nothing From Nothing re-entered the public consciousness after being featured in The White Lotus series finale—eventually peaking at number four on the U.S. Shazam chart.

In 2024, more than 30 of the songs in Shazam’s year-end Top 100 had been released over two years prior, including Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary from 2011 and Natasha Bedingfield’s Unwritten, originally released in 2004. The trend signals an increasingly non-linear path to global success, often driven by viral moments that reconnect older tracks with new audiences.

The new viral charts aim to make these surges easier to follow. They include a global Top 50, alongside 42 national charts ranking the top 25 songs in each country. Among the territories featured are the UK, United States, India, Nigeria, Brazil, Japan, and Ukraine.

The charts will showcase not only brand-new hits and breakout artists, but also older tracks resurfacing in the cultural conversation—what Shazam calls “catalog hits returning to the charts for another round.”

The full list of countries with national Shazam Viral Charts includes:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czechia, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, Türkiye, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, and Uzbekistan.

Listeners can follow the daily updates via the Shazam app or Apple Music.
