Diplo has been named the most Shazamed artist of the year.

The music identification platform was used in 2015 over 40 million times with his music.

Around 16 million of those identifications was for Major Lazer's hit tune 'Lean On'.

Major Lazer as an act were Shamazed 27 million times, while his Skrillex collaboration Jack U was tagged ten million times.

DJ and producer Diplo was already in the Shazam Hall of Fame before the news.

He wrote on his Facebook in reaction: "I guess that means no one knows my music or who the f I am since u had to Shazam me 40 million times.

"U could have just followed me on soundcloud it would save you some time also pic of me in 2008 when I was popping in shiny suits...But no seriously thanks.”
