Whether you’re a music creator or simply a fan, you might be interested to learn which moments in a song grab the most user attention. That’s exactly what Shazam’s newly launched ‘Popular Segments’ feature reveals.
‘Popular Segments’ is rolling out today on Shazam website
Today Shazam is offering up a key piece of user activity data not previously shared by Apple.
The new ‘Popular Segments’ feature offers insights into the key moments that drove users to trigger Shazam for identifying a song.
Here’s how it works, per Apple:
Popular Segments spotlights the key moments within a track that drove the most Shazam activity within the past week. Available for top tracks ranking on Shazam’s charts and based on Shazam tag volume, this interactive feature displays relative segment popularity throughout a song, allowing users to hover over the graph and reveal precise time markers and corresponding segments.
Apple Music’s Ole Obermann adds: “Shazam has always been about connecting fans to music that moves them. With Popular Segments, we’re taking that a step further—revealing exactly which moment in a song grabbed the listener’s attention, while giving artists and the industry that unprecedented insight.”
You can access Popular Segments on Shazam.com via desktop and mobile platforms. It’s unclear whether this data will roll out to the Shazam iPhone app eventually, but at least for today, that’s not the case.
Speaking of Shazam’s app, it got an iOS 26 update with Liquid Glass just last month that you can read about here.
