Australian pop star Tones And I has the most-Shazamed song of all time, with her 2019 breakout hit Dance Monkey.

More than 200 million people a month use the Shazam app to identify songs they have heard but don't know the names of.

Dance Monkey, which was written about the singer's experiences of busking in Byron Bay, has been Shazamed 36.6 million times, the company said.

Second place went to Lilly Wood & The Prick's 2014 hit Prayer In C.

Tones And I, the stage name of singer-songwriter Toni Watson, said the app had been invaluable for her career.

"I didn't have a following when I released Dance Monkey, but [Shazam] gave me the opportunity to reach more people and elevate my fanbase, which has all led to creating a career for myself," she said in a statement.

Dance Monkey spent 11 weeks at number one in the UK at the end of last year, and topped the charts in 29 other countries. It also holds the record for the most Shazamed song in a single day.

This week, seven years after her death, is a new collaboration with Kygo using her cover of Steve Winwood’s 1986 hit, “Higher Love.” Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:13:31 +0000 https://www.z99.ky/on-air/blogs/afternoon-drive/post/kygo-releases-one-of-a-kind-collaboration-with-whitney-houston/ 499-4-5d1bd70707d25 Mark Lee Afternoon Drive With Mark Lee Whitney Houston sadly passed away on February 11, 2012, leaving behind a lifetime legacy and apparently some new music! This week, seven years after her death, is a new collaboration with Kygo using her cover of Steve Winwood’s 1986 hit, “Higher Love.”

Kygo says in a social media post yesterday, Houston performed a cover of the song back in 1990 during her Feels So Right Tour in Japan and re-recorded the song a year later. Though it had been intended for her third studio album, I’m Your Baby Tonight, Houston’s version was never officially released except for Japan-only bonus track on the album.

“I’m incredibly honored to have been able to work on this amazing vocal from one of the most legendary artists of all time!” Kygo wrote on social media. “Hope you guys love it as much as I do.”

The track has the familiar Kygo sound that he’s become known for, using a bright and poppy melody with a piano-driven lead and infectious horns. Though he’s has worked with massive artists before, it’s hard to believe there’s been anyone with a voice like Whitney’s.
