In India, when you think of Summer, more often than not it is about the scorching heat and the puddles of sweat. But when has that stopped Indians from having fun? While our idea of a summer anthem might not be the same as that of countries with kinder summers, we still have songs we enjoy during this time. Shazam, has taken the lead on using their real-time analytics to predictwhat this year’s summer anthems are going to be and we’re sure they’re going to find a following in India as well.
They have several selections that fall within the larger genre of EDM, such as Calvin Harrisand Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” and The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t Let Me Down.”
The sequel to their dizzying 2011 hit “We Found Love” garnered more than 345,000 Shazams in its first week. “If early reaction is any indication, it seems likely to be a track played across dance floors all summer long,” says Riley, Shazam’s CEO.
“Don’t Let Me Down” boasts some of the strongest Shazam numbers of all candidates: It now has more than 2 million Shazams, and it sits at No. 2 on both the Shazam U.S. Chart and the Worldwide Dance Chart.
