Shazam corrects 300k daily music downloads claim

shazamMobile music service Shazam says its mobile apps aren’t generating 300,000 full-track music purchases a day after all – instead, the company is “approaching 260,000 downloads a day”.

Still not bad, considering that users are tagging on average two million tracks a day. So where did that 300,000 claim come from? Ahem: CEO Andrew Fisher, talking on-stage as part of a panel session at MidemNet.

In fairness, the 300k figure was a calculation made by a fellow panelist that Fisher then confirmed, rather than a planned announcement. Billboard does the sums on the new number, and reckons that at 260k downloads a day, Shazam would be responsible for 6.3% of global single-track downloads.
