Shazam predicts success for Adele's Hometown Glory

London, 07 July 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.

London singing sensation Adele looks set to have a summer hit with her single Hometown Glory. Entering the Shazam Tag Chart at number 12, two weeks ahead of its official release on July 21st, Hometown Glory is predicted to repeat the success of Chasing Pavements.

After featuring in the closing credits of Wimbledon, Jamie Cullum scores a drop shot in the Shazam Tag Chart with his 2004 track These Are The Days entering at number nine. DJ Ironik tops the chart this week with his single Stay With Me and making up the rest of the top five are Australian Gabriella Cilmi, Norwegian due Madcon, Kid Rock and Dizzee Rascal.

Shazam's chart for Monday 30th June to Monday 7th July 2008 is based on thousands of music fans across the UK using the Shazam to 'Tag' their favourite tunes with their mobile phone.
