Shazam, which offers that clever play-it-that-mystery-song-and-it-will-text-you-back-the-name service, is reporting its user numbers have grown 500% since May this year.
The service now gets 11m unique users a month, or 1.5m calls each week, which it then converts into sales of downloads and ringtones. Shazam is expanding to 25 new countries and partnering with the complementary services All Media Guide and LyricFind to add artist biographies, discographies, reviews and lyrics to Shazam's mobile service.
