Every time we turn on the TV in the summer, our mother’s scolding from days of yore—“Get outside! It’s a nice day!”—reverberates around our head. Today, though, we tell that voice inside our head, “We’ve got shows to Shazam.”
Placements in The Handmaid’s Tale put two recent oldies into the Top 5 of the Biggest Movers on the Shazam USA Top 100: Tricky’s “Hell Is Round the Corner,” from his 1995 classic, Maxinquaye (Island), and the gold standard for trip-hop, Portishead’s 1994 release “Glory Box,” from Dummy (Mercury).
It’s Grey’s Anatomy, however, that’s responsible for pumping up the song that got the most thumbs wagging, John Legend’s year-old “Conversations in the Dark” (Columbia).
Rounding out the Top 5 are new singles from Bad Bunny and Roddy Ricch.
In the U.K., the Biggest Gainers are a new one from Calvin Harris & Tom Grennan and the decade-old “Dirty Paws,” by Of Monsters and Men, which was used in the Netflix series Sweet Tooth.
