Go Live Time
It generally takes at least 24 hours for tracks to be ingested into Shazam's system. However, on some occasions, it could take longer, depending on current ingestion projects.
Note: Shazam is not a digital store, and therefore does not ingest or recognize release go-live dates. That means you may be able to find your release through Shazam before its official release date.
Shazam cannot guarantee that releases will be taken down from their platform. If you request a takedown of your release, it may still be searchable in Shazam.
