Shazam, Apple’s music recognition app, has launched its Viral Chart, which lists the fastest-growing songs of the week that were “discovered on screens and socials,” reports MacRumors.

“Shazam’s new Viral Chart playlist doesn’t just track TikTok hits—it captures the full spectrum of songs blowing up right now, whether through streaming, socials, TV placements, or that random 2004 banger suddenly resurfacing at bars and baseball games,” says Apple.

There is a global chart, along with individual charts for more than 40 countries, and all of them will be updated on a daily basis. The global chart ranks the top 50 songs of the week, while the per-country charts rank the top 25 songs.
