Benson Boone’s newest single, "Beautiful Things" (Night Street/Warner), went viral before its official release—and instantly perked up the ears of Shazam users.
“Beautiful Things” is the lone new track among the Top 5 biggest gainers on the Shazam USA Top 100; TV syncs drive the popularity of the rest of the tracks.
Prime Video’s Reacher is responsible for two songs: Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” (Geffen), from its 1973 debut, and Quaker City Night Hawks’ eight-year-old “Beat the Machine” (Lightning Rod/Thirty Tigers). Sam Cooke’s “(Somebody) Ease My Troublin’ Mind” (ABKCO) is the greatest gainer, thanks to a placement on Starz/Hulu’s Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
Tik Tok is behind the revival of Lil Wayne f/T-Pain’s 2011 “How to Hate” (YMCM/Republic).
The Skynyrd song is also getting phones pointed at screens in the U.K., where Ed Sheeran’s “Life Goes On” leads the way among the biggest gainers.
