If you’ve been following your favorite artists on Shazam, you can now find out what music they are checking out using the service. An update to the iOS app due to roll out today lets you see which tracks they are identifying via Shazam.
Shazam says that the feature is available for hundreds of artists, including Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Shakira, Adam Lambert, Fifth Harmony, Clean Bandit, Maroon 5, Nick Jonas and Jason Derulo.
Don’t expect to catch any of them Shazamming anything terminally uncool, however: artists have the option of keeping individual searches private. The updated app hadn’t yet gone live at the time of writing, but check for it on iTunes later in the day.
The Shazam iOS app got a major revamp toward the end of last year.

But how are the artists ‘verified’?
By Shazam, as per the existing follow feature.
Thanks. Hadn’t heard of that. Possibly added after I deleted it from my iPhone since Siri can be asked now. Though last week I wanted to ask her what song was playing, but was ashamed to do so since every teenager was dancing to it. Shazam lets me to simply hit the button, in that situation a better option for me.
Heh
