Yesterday Shazam announced a new iPhone application called Shazam Encore. Shazam Encore is a premium version of the company’s existing iPhone app.
New features include:
Quicker tagging
Music recommendations
Charts
Car mode to automatically tag tracks that are playing on your radio.
The Encore version costs a one-off download fee of £2.99 / $4.99, although Shazam says it will continue to support the free version too – albeit limiting new users of that to five tags a month in an effort to persuade them to upgrade. That free version is one of the most popular music applications in the iTunes store which has 10 million downloads so far.
“We have listened to our iPhone and iPod touch users and have created a new app which answers their requests to take them on an enhanced music journey that will change the way music lovers experience and learn about music,” says CEO Andrew Fisher.
Here at Routenote we are always pleased to announce the success of unsigned or independent artists who, against all odds, disprove the common assumption: the only career in music is with a major label.
Vishal J – a composer/producer/ programmer from Hesperia, California, US has smashed into the iTunes Store Charts Top 10 Electronic Songs for the US this week with his dancefloor masterpiece ‘Odyssey’. ‘Odyssey’ currently stands 5th in the charts above the likes of Daft Punk!
The ‘Odyssey’ Ringtone by Vishal J is currently one of the most popular ringtones in America. Along side tons of radio airplay the track has reached the top 50 of the iTunes Songs Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. Odyssey has the chance of becoming one of the most popular songs of the year.
Rumour has it, Vishal J is currently working on an album release so stay tuned!
Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” (Interscope/Universal) started a second week at No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart yesterday, ahead of a strong debut by London indie band the Noisettes with “Don’t Upset The Rhythm” (Vertigo/Universal).
I recently saw an indepth interview with Lady Gaga, who has previously written songs for Britney Spears and The Pussycat Dolls before actually getting signed for her talents, in which she stated that “I will be at the top of music for the next 10 years”. Of course Lady Gaga who has release two singles that have been widely accepted now believe she is going to be the next Madonna. Am I the only person who really thinks that she isnt the greatest singer in the world, she may have a small bit of talent for writing music, but lets face it she is just a good looking girl with a decent baseline on her songs and who loves to wear practically nothing at her concerts.
