Top 25 songs in Chicago on Shazam in the past week
There are plenty of ways to measure the hottest songs of the moment—Spotify streams, Apple Music downloads, radio requests, Billboard charts, the list goes on and on. But one of the ways to identify a true earworm is by how often it's Shazamed. Users depend on the app, which has been owned by Apple since 2018, to recognize any song they hear, whether in a store, listening to the radio, or watching TV—meaning it's a great barometer of the tracks that are really catching listeners' attention.
When looking at the top 200 most Shazamed songs from the past week across the U.S., some relics from the summer remain, from hip-hop and R&B hits like SZA's "Snooze" and Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red" (which has extra staying power thanks to its popular accompanying TikTok dance), to country crooners like Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves' "I Remember Everything" and Luke Combs' cover of "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman.
Of course, what's climbing up the Shazam charts can differ greatly by region. For example, hometown hero Usher is dominating in Atlanta, and regional Mexican music artists Grupo Frontera are holding down the top spots in Corpus Christi, Texas. To see what songs are currently making up Chicago's soundtrack, Stacker compiled a list of the songs most often Shazamed in Chicago over the past seven days. This list is based on the frequency of Shazam identifications and the song's broader popularity. See what folks around you are listening to, and maybe you'll even discover your next new favorite song.
