It’s been #1 for a month in the U.K. and suddenly U.S. Shazammers are catching on to LF System’s summer banger “Afraid To Feel” (Warner). How much of that owes to a Love Island sync?
We’ll guess plenty as it's not only the week’s Biggest Mover but the most-Shazammed song in the States. Period. Another U.K. import making waves following a Love Island sync is Megan McKenna’s ballad “This” (frtyfve).
It’s a solid week for U.K. imports as Kasabian’s “The Wall” (Columbia) has thumbs a-poppin’, as do two dance-floor anthems: James Hype’s “Ferrari” (Island) from April and Calvin Harris’ latest, “Stay With Me (Part 2)” (Columbia).
The journey of Em Beihold’s “Numb Little Bug” from Tik Tok sensation to radio hit now includes a stop as the Biggest Mover on the Shazam U.K. Top 100, where Sofia Carson lands two songs from the Netflix film Purple Hearts.
