My data point: I often go to parties where they play African and world music. Shazam fails more often than not ...

The interesting thing is: most of these songs are on YouTube, so in theory Google could build a better Shazam.

Exactly! Maybe if you listen to the billboard hits you'll always find a match, but IME it rarely matches the songs I actually don't know and can't find details on.
