Shazam Shares 2024 Popular Song Predictions

The new year just got started. How can Shazam make any accurate prediction for what song(s) will be popular this year when there's still well over 300 days for potential new hit songs to drop?

Indeed. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

I figured it is based of the rising popularity of the artist for 2023 being used an indicator for interest in 2024

I listen to Riize fot example (they are a part of NCT family) and they definitely are a group to watch out for this year based on their debut last year.

If “Stranger Things 5” drops, put your money on Kate Bush. Who would have predicted “Running Up That Hill” would have been the global streaming number one 37 years after its first release.

Will be interesting to see how many of the predications will come true at the end of the year.

Sure, but why wait? Just take a look at last year's predictions and use that as your barometer. It's quite possible that someone has written an article offering an opinion on the accuracy... but if you can't find one, maybe you can be the one to write it. Just a thought.
