Chart shines a light on Marks and Spencers Lighthouse Keeper advert

London, 31 March 2008 - Polling more than the entire top 40 singles sales with more than one million tracks Tagged by Shazam each week, the world's leading mobile to web music services provider Shazam unveils the UK Top 40 Tag Chart. The Chart is a strong indicator of future hit singles as its data includes what pre-release tracks are connecting with the public and being Tagged by Shazam users across the country.

This week, Marks & Spencer's latest advert makes its impact on the chart with the associated track, I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper by Erika Elgen coming in at number 22. At present, a decision on whether to put the single out on general release is being kept under wraps by label, Warner Bros.

Shazam's chart for Monday 25th March to Monday 31st March 2008 is based on thousands of music fans across the UK using Shazam to 'Tag' their favourite tunes with their mobile phone. All you need to do is hold up your mobile phone and dial 2580 to sample a track for five to ten seconds. Shazam will identify the track and immediately text back the name of the artist and song title and log the request in the Tag Chart.
