Shazam predicts this summer’s hottest tracks

London, 30 June 2008 - With more than one million tracks Tagged each week by Shazam users; the world's leading mobile to web music services provider, Shazam unveils a weekly UK Top 40 Tag Chart - a strong indicator of future hit singles.

This week, Shazam predicts summer success for Irish trio The Script. The group's second single The Man Who Can't Be Moved has rocketed into the Shazam Tag Chart at number 24, exactly one month before its official UK release. Also expected to have summer hits are US stars Nelly and Usher. Body On Me, the latest single from US rapper Nelly featuring Ashanti enters the Shazam Tag Chart at number 36, more than six weeks ahead of its official release. R & B superstar Usher's yet to be released single Moving Mountains also features at number 30, three weeks before its release date.

Topping the chart for the third week in a row is Australian teen singer Gabriella Cillmi with her debut single Sweet About Me. NE-Yo, Dizzee Rascal, Norwegian duo Madcon and DJ NG make up the rest of the top five.

Shazam's chart for Monday 23rd June to Monday 30th June 2008 is based on thousands of music fans across the UK using the Shazam to 'Tag' their favourite tunes with their mobile phone.
