  Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reported 9 minutes ago

  Last week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.

  @CleanCasinoGuy At first I was scared i was one of the people watering it down since i actively use hyperfixation. Then i remembered it's not normal to space out and ignore reality, eating, talking, etc, until you get to read the next issue of Shazam. Tbh, I didn't even know ts was happening. 😭

  @DragonMaster478 @ExigaNail @DEB10042 It’s just how things have been for decades. He was called Captain Marvel all the way through the 2000s. In New 52, DC decided they wanted to get rid of the complicated rights issue by just naming him Shazam instead. Which led to a lot of conflict with fans.

  @raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.

  @ihatemeen_ with shazam and wonder woman alone they could stall long enough so barry could get bruce to where he keeps his kryptonite and grab some for himself to keep him down, and thats not assuming the rest of the league doesn't just outright win.

  Anyone else’s Shazam not working? Neither of my iPads or my phone are able to find multiple common songs. @Shazam what the heck 🥺

  @TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.

  Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported 25 minutes ago

  📆 April 19, 2002, “Jeepster” by T. Rex became the first song successfully identified by Shazam. This happened during a pre-launch test of the service, which at the time required users to call a phone number and receive the song title via text message. The company, now owned by Apple, has since developed technology capable of identifying billions of songs.

  Song ⱽ Angel 😇 Layover (fan account) (@SongAngel15) reported 30 minutes ago

  @btskthv1230 @StanTae51027 Exactly! They want to drive true supporters away. We must ignore these insecure people who don’t respect or appreciate the enormous clout Taehyung brings to BTS. His brand ambassadorships have been heavily involved in promoting the group’s Arirang tour. His solo endeavors, like his first pitch at the LA Dodgers game, got the forthcoming BTS comeback mentioned to the whole world of baseball. His Chinese fanbase, Baidu V Bar was historically the largest purchaser of BTS albums. They metaphorically shoot themselves in the foot by trying to silence us into leaving. This desire to equalize the members by their own insistence is tiresome. It’s unnecessary. The members themselves said on multiple occasions in the past that Taehyung is the one with worldwide impact. It’s a known fact, yet no one needs to take him down a peg because Tae is humble. Instead, they attack his support system, the ones who stream, vote, Shazam, buy physical albums, iTunes, magazines, merch from his brands, engage with his articles, make radio requests, praise his accomplishments…and they want us to believe Tae hates us. Are they hoping we are so immature that we’ll go away crying? No one who works this hard has time for their nonsense.

  Remember the first time CNN and its anchors were used in a movie. Its was Contact. Then Batman v Superman and Wolf in SkyFall and MI and Shazam. But now they pop up in 3 Body Problem and its just pathetic. Can we go back to fake networks and not cheer or moan because its CNN

  @BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

  ゴッドファーザー The Godfather (@Igniteoud) reported 35 minutes ago

  The success rate for discovering songs via @Shazam has dropped. Perhaps the algorithm is flawed or there have been many errors recently. Shazam struggles to identify songs, particularly those in the progressive house and dub techno genres. @Apple @AppleMusic

  Christopher Marc (@_ChristopherM) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.

  Josh Sammons (@JoshSammons7) reported 38 minutes ago

  @UltraBiasedFan But Black Adam was also terrible, like most of their films at the time. Shazam 2, Aquaman 2.

  @BackintheBronze Sent cash in for Shazam! then it was cancelled. For the two remaining issues, they sent a Super Friends and a Superman. I also got one of the many subs won in the Superman Trivia Contest. I chose Action so I would get the giant sized #500.

  @Abimbola_Fenwa Let Down is very sad, lol. I like Creep, No Surprises and Plastic trees and maybe Karma police. You dig Foxy Shazam too?

  @wakeupusa Oh Geez, not another new word. Besides a cheek swab, just pull your pants down and see what you were born with. Shazam you are a female and or shazam you are a male. No one's taking their rights to identify how they want, but you can't negate biological reality.

  Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported 48 minutes ago

  @VesselorConnor @empatheticcain Cancelled after 15 issues. The book was a direct continuation of the curse of Shazam, which Johns just finishing being an executive producer for the movie. So it really seems like Johns was fully onboard with that version of the character to me.

  superladkid (@superladkid) reported 48 minutes ago

  @TheRochaSays What’s even more baffling is that Wonder Woman, Joker, Aquaman, and to some extent Shazam were all box office successes followed up with the most terrible inconsequential sequels you could imagine.

  been feeling like a larper recently (bought some shazam comics but haven't had the opportunity to have a proper sit down + warm beverage read session yet)...what if someone asks me to name five comics and i can't....

  I haven’t been to the theater in years now not since they stuck in that stupid useless scene in the second Shazam that didn’t fit about some kids saying oh yeah by the way, I’m gay that was it. I’m tired of people, shoving their **** down my face.

  @B3nd3rISGr3at34 @AxelTalksFilm People were willing to give a chance to these characters back then !Shazam is not a bigger character than Supergirl but still had decent numbers !The problem is now people just won’t turn up if it’s not the big 3 or nostalgia stuff like Avengers

  @jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.

  It's on you if you can't see it, the song is literally #2 on Shazam Global, radios keeps refusing to play it, the streams are going down instead of up, the views on YT are also going down. Anyway those are just soundtrack songs so idc that much overall if they don't do it

  KIRAN KUMAR (@kd83kiran) reported 59 minutes ago

  @james88982622 Why wasn’t it allowed in the first place, why didn’t AQUAMAN, Wonder Woman or Shazam didn’t face that specific problem. It’s because his movies are the problem. Even at full creative control director cuts exist for his rebel moon movies.

  @KaroyStephenson @TheFilmJunkee I don't agree but I understand this when it comes to the 1st Aquaman movie. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. The 2nd one however is down there with TSS and Shazam 2.
