David Guetta first artist to surpass 60 million followers mark

After recently being announced the official music ambassador for UEFA Euro 2016 following the release of new single ‘Bang My Head’ ft. Sia & Fetty Wap and new album edition ‘Listen Again’, David Guetta has become the first verified artist in Shazam history to surpass a mammoth 60 million followers.

David’s extraordinary achievement, amplified by the news that seven of his tracks – ‘Dangerous’, ‘Hey Mama’, Titanium’, ‘Lovers On The Sun’, ‘Bad!’, ‘Play Hard’ and ‘Shot Me Down’ – have all been added to the Shazam Hall Of Fame after amassing over 5 million tags each, is a testament to an incredible career that continues to go from strength to strength.

As an avid user of the music recognition app himself, David’s favourite track has been verified as ‘Bun Up The Dance’ by Dillon Francis & Skrillex, with his artist profile boasting more views than any other artist in the entire Shazam database.

With a special solo sold out concert at the famed AccorHotels Arena  in Paris, set to be live streamed worldwide by Deezer this Saturday (Dec 19th), David’s latest achievement with Shazam is another first in the maestros year.
