The songs of summer are getting thumbs a-poppin’ this week, with the biggest movers on the Shazam USA Top 100 all current releases. Leading the way are Marshmello, Elton John and DJ Khaled.
Marshmello & Khalid’s “Numb” (Joytime/RCA), their second collaboration, has been steadily building at radio since its early June release; Elton John & Britney Spears’ “Hold Me Closer” (Interscope), the top biggest mover in the U.K., is vying for #1 on the Official Singles chart; and DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID” (We the Best/Epic), boasting an all-star collection that includes JAY-Z and John Legend, is heading for #1 this week in the U.S.
Social-media phenom JVKE—who's racked up more than half a billion streams—sees his “golden hour” (AWAL) climb the Shazam chart along with Karol G & Maldy’s “GATÚBELA” (Universal Latino), the video for which has nearly 30m views on YouTube in six days of release.
While Elton & Britney have emerged triumphant in Blighty, vintage tracks from Mariah Carey, Two Door Cinema Club and One Direction are also attracting attention.
