The chart is constructed using data gathered from Shazam’s 300 million users worldwide, who use the app to tag their favourite songs at clubs, parties and when they are out and about.

With more than one billion tags since the New Year, Shazam has analysed the data to predict that music fans will also be going mad for dance hit Alive by Krewella and Icona Pop’s I Love It.

In the last year, 72 percent of number one hits in the Shazam UK New Release charts went on to reach number one in the UK Official Chart.
