Justin’s latest album, Under the Mistletoe is his third #1 album debut in just 18 months!  It follows My World 2.0 (April, 2010) and Never Say Never: The Remixes (February, 2011).  Never Say Never: The Remixes was the accompaniment to Justin’s concert documentary film Never Say Never which went on to become the highest grossing concert film in US history. Under the Mistletoe, Justin’s first Christmas album, features duets with Mariah Carey (on her # 1 holiday classic, “All I Want for Christmas is You”); Usher on “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire);  Boyz II Men on  “Fa La La”; Busta Rhymes on “Drummer Boy”; and The Band Perry on “Home This Christmas.”  Justin has sold over 11 million albums worldwide to date, and has amassed over 2.2 billion video views on YouTube, over 36 million Facebook fans and has more than 13 million Twitter followers.

Shazam “Golden Tag” promotions are one of the many ways Shazam is working with major label artists today.  The Lil Wayne Golden Tag promotion launched in August saw more than thirty million impressions of the video on VEVO, over a 285% increase in Lil Wayne tags during the promotional period, a 10% click through to buy his single, ‘How to Love’ and a spot on Shazam’s Top 20 US Tag Chart for 10 straight weeks.  In addition to opportunities to meet the artist, Golden Tag promotions can include concert tickets, free downloads, song debuts and loads of other prizes.  Record labels and artists work with Shazam to Shazam-enable their music videos and TV commercials, release exclusive content such as a new album, song or video, launch innovative advertising campaigns within the Shazam App, and build 3-way promotions with the help of media partners and major brands.

*Promotion open to legal residents of Canada (excluding the province of Quebec), must be 13 or older to enter.
