Get Exclusive ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Sneak Peek

August 29th, 2011
Comments Off

The eighth season of Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t get underway till September 22, but we’re giving fans an early treat. Promos start airing tonight, and you can Shazam them to get an exclusive sneek peak into your favorite drama!

As well as the exclusive preview, more content is being added over the next few weeks including a music video by Scars on 45 and more scenes from the hit show – so keep tagging the promo whenever you see it to unlock new content.

Season eight picks up only 5 days after the season seven cliffhanger finale - so DerMer are far from resolving their marital crisis and Cristina has yet to act on her decision to terminate her pregnancy — cold feet, perhaps?  Plus there’s the small matter of Mer tampering with the Alzheimer’s treatment trial… so tune in tonight and see if the promo reveals her fate!

Win VIP Trip To See Lil Wayne Live

August 25th, 2011

Lil Wayne shouldn’t need much of an intro – with platinum selling albums, all-star collaborations, a hugely successful record label and a clutch of Grammys under his belt.  

Check out his new music video, ‘How to Love’  on VEVO –  as well as being one of the most shocking, heartbreaking, thought-provoking videos of the year, it’s a chance for all you Weezy fans to win a VIP trip for two to see the self-claimed ‘Best Rapper Alive’, live!   

Shazamers in the US and Canada with an iPhone, iPod touch or Android device can enter the contest any time between today and October 15, simply:

  1. Activate Shazam Friends
  2. Shazam ‘How to Love’ on VEVO

Remember to Shazam daily!  You can enter to win once a day, every day during the promo period from now until midnight October15. 

This video is a huge deal. Not just for us (we’re beyond excited as it’s the first ever music video to include our ‘Shazam for TV’ technology), but in the words of Lil Wayne himself – the video “gave him goose bumps” and he’s “never had a single like it”.  Have to say, the hard hitting message brought a lump to our throat here at Shazam, what about you?
