Shazam For Artists: How To See Stats & Get Verified Fast

To this day, Shazam remains one of the most downloaded apps worldwide. This program is available on all mobile platforms, including Windows Phones. Shazam reported on October 21, 2017, that its mobile apps had been downloaded over 1 billion times. In 2018, on January 26th, they hit 400 million yearly visitors and 150 million month-to-month visitors. Plus, they launched a verification system for musicians.

The Updated Shazam App Now Has:

• RECOGNITION: Shazam is now more efficient and reliable than ever before, all thanks to technology developed by Shazam Research.

• SEARCH: Users of Shazam can now quickly look up any artist or song they're curious about and then listen to popular tracks, enjoy video content, encounter the artist's breakthroughs, and even follow them for more information. No subscription or sign-up is required to access this consolidated marketplace.

   ● SHARED DISCOVERY: There are now over 600 million verified users who have access to over 2 billion songs on Shazam. To get your artist credentialed, visit www.shazam.com/verify. With the new networking experience, fans can quickly tell their friends about their favorite finds with a single tap, spreading the word faster than ever before.

It's crucial for your success as a musician or band if your music can be identified by the app Shazam. It's impossible to predict who will listen to your music or where it will be played. A YouTuber could use your song without giving you any credit. Or perhaps it has been broadcast to an audience of millions via radio. Shazam acts as a lifeline to get them back to the source of the song.

A song identified by Shazam won't result in royalties for the artist. In a more realistic sense, it is a promotional platform that directs users to sites like Apple Music and Spotify, where they can make money.

A Shazam artist profile, complete with your whole (distributed) discography and a profile image, will be generated for you as soon as your music is disseminated and processed. This artist profile can now be linked to your music, making it accessible to listeners everywhere.

To upload your music to Shazam, you’ll need a music distributor.

All artists who have uploaded music to Shazam can request verification, but it may take a while if they don't have 1,000 followers. It will be much quicker if they already have a verified social media account. You can interact with your fans and gain valuable insights into your audience by becoming a verified artist and then using Shazam Connect. The Shazam team can be an excellent resource for your development as a musician.

If you want your music to be verified on Shazam, follow our guidelines:

• Open their website to get your Shazam account verified.

• Your Twitter account must be verified, and you must follow Shazam there if you want to be considered.

• Shazam will ask you some questions once you get to the verification page. Include your name, email address, a high-resolution photo, and links to your social media and music-sharing profiles.

You must sign up for Apple Music For Artists to see stats from Shazam.

Similar to the artist dashboard on Spotify, you'll have access to a wealth of data regarding your profile's detections and performance. Using these figures, you can figure out which songs to push, which cities to visit on tour, and which audiences to focus your ads on. You may discover, for instance, that males in Stockholm, Sweden, between the ages of 21 and 28, find your music particularly appealing. 

Booking a show there and advertising to people of that age range on Facebook could be a good idea. Essential data, such as Shazam top-trending and insights, are presented in the Overview section. Your Shazam audience is broken down into its parts, as displayed by Trends. Instead, the Places tab will reveal which international locations you frequently Shazam in.

If one of your songs is trending on Shazam at the national, regional, or local level, a chart showing where it stands will appear in your profile. The chart information refreshes every 24 hours, showing where and how far your song has climbed the charts in a specific region or metro area over the previous week. By choosing a theme, you can view it on all regional and local charts worldwide. If you go to the Overview of Your Music > Charting on Shazam > See All, you'll be sent to a page that displays the Top Charts for your Top Songs.

They will update you on how well your songs are doing on Shazam by sending you a weekly email entitled "Trending on Shazam." See the section on managing your messages for specifics on this email.
