The GRAMMY Awards have become known for today's biggest artists delivering electrifying performances. But what do you do if you're not familiar with the song being played or the artist performing? Insert Shazam, an app that (for those of you not yet in the know) analyzes music and tells users what song and artist they're hearing. On Music's Biggest Night, fans from all over reached for their phones to identify the show's performers, and now the results are in on which artists prompted the most Shazams.

Country breakout duo Dan + Shay not only took home the GRAMMY for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Tequila," they also conquered the top spot on the list with the most Shazams of the night, according to a statement from Shazam. Their performance of "Tequila" no doubt led to a fair few new fans who needed to know more about who these GRAMMY newcomers.

The silver medal went to host Alicia Keys, whose journey through songs she wish she wrote strolled through hits by everyone from Roberta Flack and Nat King Cole to Kings Of Leon and Drake, before finishing with her hit Jay-Z collab "Empire State Of Mind." The dual piano live playlist garnered the second most Shazams of the night as fans tried to keep up with her magical medley.

R&B darling H.E.R. took the bronze on Shazam's list with her captivating performance of "Hard Place." St. Vincent & Dua Lipa's intimate duet of "One Kiss" and Brandi Carlile's soaring performance of "The Joke" rounded out the top five Shazamed moments on the show.

Janelle Monáe's "Make Me Feel" and Kacey Musgraves' "Rainbow" took the sixth and seventh spots on the list, while eight and nine belonged to Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dark Necessities" and Travis Scott's "NO BYSTANDARDS." This swath of styles shows that fans of all genres use Shazam.

At No. 10 on the list was Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and Maren Morris' rendition of Neil Young's After The Gold Rush," a revamp of the song Parton previously tackled with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris on their collaborative album Trio II. When you consider how much music history—and future—are rolled into a performance like that, it's no wonder viewer's wanted to know more.

With so many ways of measure an artists' success, from the streaming charts to ticket sales, Shazam data provides a unique look at music discovery, which for many fans is the most fun part.
