Some songs are classics that withstand the test of time (like Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” or The Temptations’ “My Girl”). Others are hot one minute and very not the next (like Baha Men’s “Who Let the Dogs Out?” or Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”). But thanks to the joys of the internet—and TikTok, more specifically—some songs are finding new life decades later. That’s quite evident when looking at the top 200 most Shazamed songs from the past week across the U.S.
Thanks to a trend spawned by the hit Amazon Prime series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Mary J. Blige’s 2001 hit “Family Affair” is climbing up the Shazam charts and reaching a whole new demographic. Meanwhile, a dance trend started by TikTok creator Brett Sewell has Rihanna’s 2005 song “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” racing all the way to the #22 spot on the most Shazamed songs in America.
Of course, what’s trending music-wise can differ greatly by region. In Chicago, for example, hometown artists Vic Mensa and Common are gaining traction with their song “$outhside Story,” while “Según Quién,” a collaboration from Colombian rapper Maluma and Mexican singer Carín León, is dominating in El Paso, Texas.
To see what songs are making up Providence’s soundtrack at the moment, Stacker compiled a list of the songs most often Shazamed in Providence over the past seven days. This list is based on the frequency of Shazam identifications and the song’s broader popularity. Take a look at the songs people around you are listening to, and see if any tracks from your younger days are making a comeback.
