In terms of interface and app interaction it is a great way to discover new music. Not only does it pull music someone is automatically interested in and has a history of every song but it also tracks locations and the most Shazamed songs there as well....it has a list of concerts, most viral songs, new discovery as well....
Here is a link to the top 200 Shazammed artists/songs this week in USA and you could section it by city as well and change it to discovery or trending. I want them to section it to more genres in the future because now it is only pop, country, dance or hiphop.
Ill be honest because I figured things would be more indie and more alt because I feel ike most pop songs people understand and know already with eh radio and such but like shopping I feel like that's where I find new music and don't know the Artis or title and that's where I would look up a song for sure
They definitely need to add rock at least. that would complete all the genres I think....Below are the top 5 shazamed songs in USA then pop. Would love to see more information but I feel like this app its strictly for business metrics and not consumers at all
