Sia's Cheap Thrills is the year's most Shazamed track ahead of Twenty One Pilots

Shazam has revealed the tracks people searched for most on its app in 2016 and Sia tops the list.

For those who don't know, Shazam uses your phone's microphone to listen to your surroundings and help you identify a song.

Sia's Cheap Thrills is the year's most Shazamed track, while Mike Posner, Twenty One Pilots and Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners also make the top five.

Drake was the most Shazamed artist overall.

Remember, though, that this isn't necessarily a list of the 2016's most popular tracks.

Instead, these are the tracks that people most wanted to find out the name of - which could be a good thing or a bad thing.

The app also broke things down by genre, with One Dance by Drake topping the hip-hop list.

Coldplay's Hymn For The Weekend was named the most Shazamed rock track - and Starboy, a collaboration between The Weeknd and Daft Punk, came out on top in R&B.
