Questions and answers

Releasing on Shazam: common questions

Didn’t find an answer? Message us — we’ll go through your release.

Nothing extra is needed: Shazam receives the release from the same distribution as Apple Music. The fingerprint enters the database a few days after the release goes live.

If the release just came out, the database updates with a delay of up to a few days. If the track wasn’t released officially through a distributor, it isn’t in Shazam at all.
