Shazam

TAG, THEY'RE IT: Taylor Swift's pop confection "Shake It Off" vaults all the way into the Shazam USA Top 5 this week, a ridiculous 197-place jump. Rough Trade's Warpaint (powered by a True Blood placement) and Swedish EDM artist Elliphant also make impressive showings. See the whole chart, sortable by rank, artist or jumps, here. Taylor tops the U.K. Shazam jumpers as well, while other big leaps are achieved by Universal-Island troubadour James Bay, PLG UK Frontline's dance-floor demons Chromeo and Columbia's Train. (8/26a)
