Shazam reveals 2018's most-searched songs

In a world full of smart devices, self-driving cars and voice assistants, Shazam is the closest technology comes to actual magic. The software allows you to hold your phone up to a speaker and answer the age-old question, "what is this song and who's it by?" without the humiliation of having to ask the DJ. And in 2018 the answer, most frequently, was "Solo by Clean Bandit". The song, which features US star Demi Lovato, was tagged 9.1 million times. British artists performed five of Shazam's top 10 songs, with Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa and newcomer Tom Walker all making the chart.
