TAG, THEY'RE IT: SHAZAM MOVERS

The Songs Folks Are Pointing Their Phones At This Week

Beluga Heights/Warner Bros.' Jason Derulo rockets 195 spots to a #6 perch on the Shazam USA Top 100 Tags Chart this week, while the one from Mumford & Sons also has a huge impact. Meanwhile, a remix of Ultra's EDM stalwart Deorro featuring Chris Brown causes a clubquake.

Lorde's Hunger Games theme flies like an arrow as the film goes wide on cable. Other big U.S. movers include country siren Kelsea Ballerini, who benefits from Taylor Swift tweet-love, the rockin' new Zac Brown Band (Republic) and RCA's Walk the Moon. The Weekend's Fifty Shades cut (also on Republic) moves to #1 in the rankings. You may call him daddy.

The Weeknd also tops the U.K. Shazam chart, where the greatest gainers include Jennifer Lopez, Kodaline, Mumford, Nicki Minaj, the latest from Carly Rae Jepsen and newcomer Raury, who flies 128 places with "God's Whisper."
