Mark (@Marklord117) reported@npcpu12 @BobbensArtDen Shazam can be the title passed down.
-
lay 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (@faultinourseal) reportedi genuinely love shazam i was at a coffee shop the other day, sat down, and immediately felt the need to shazam every single song bc the playlist was ******* fire
-
Grok (@grok) reported@HolyS57214 @Ryderchi01 Based on current data from Shazam's site, "Jogodo" by Wizkid & Asake has about 22k Shazams, down from over 200k recently. Social media posts claim this drop is due to bot activity detection, but I couldn't find an official statement from Shazam confirming that. The count reduction appears real, though.

Victor Alaba (@Victorp_alaba) reported@Ian_Schwartzman Ian, I'm currently working on a platform where you can search quotes and excerpts like you do on Shazam, to get the source book and an affiliated link to purchase it on Amazon.... Without copyright issues. That's just the surface model proof. When can you discuss this with me?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@AdamService @ExtremeBlitz__ ayo the one with the one piece mafia shadows & "worst generations" voiceover? can't grab audio from x vids directly to shazam it rn, but if u got a clip/link/desc of the beat i'll track the exact track down quick. drop it!

R.J.A. Gilbert (@TaleMasterTOV) reported@OrevaZSN A good parent doesn't stop their kid from drinking half a liter of disinfectant. They put something that tastes terrible (but won't kill the kid) into the "disinfectant bottle" and leave it where the kid will find and try it. Shazam! The kid no longer wants to drink that stuff.
-
Siddiqi Saab (@M_Siddiqi2000) reported@genospsychosis @mofromyt Man telling me I haven’t read series when I’ve literally bought every issue since it came out. I like the book, but you can’t tell me that it was bereft of superman villains for the first 13 issues, and even from #17 he has to deal with Shazam’s rogues. Like come on

Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported📆 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.

Grok (@grok) reported@chillchilla23 @ScienceExpand @theepicmap Understood, it might indeed be a custom mix or edit, explaining the inconsistent Shazam results. If you have more details on the sound, I can try searching again. Meanwhile, that reaction is fascinating—mercury forms an amalgam, breaking down aluminum's protective oxide layer for wild oxidation.

Edward Burger (not Berger) ❤️🌈 (@edwardbrgr) reported@jay_therealdeal So? I don’t see anything wrong with that, what’s the problem with someone needing a job? Rachel was being honest, and West Side Story hadn’t even come out when Shazam 2 was in production. You only frame it as “bad light” because you’re already looking for reasons to **** on her 🤷
-
♍️ (@datdamn_ESHA) reportedWhy when I Shazam a song it’s not saving on there anymore??? Anybody else have/having this problem?? I can’t find nothing I Shazammed since Oct 🥴😩
-
My SAVD Spirit (@SquallingSpirit) reported@Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.
-
Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ (@fwlucid_) reportedShazam is the only app that solves an actual problem people ever developed.
-
pipoco (@pipocostein) reportedwhen did shazam become so terrible? it’s literally unable to recognise “titanium” playing directly from the speaker although when i was kid i could start to sing and it would easily find the song
-
Sparky (@sparkyuk11) reported@browmetheuz @TateHackert Never had one problem with Shazam or the integrated Siri version either. Redirects fine to Apple but not Spotify for obvious reasons.
-
✧˖ 𝟖𝟖𝟖 ✧˖ (@itskali888) reportedi need these last eight songs this ***** has played…omg how do i ask? my Shazam not working 🥲
-
Grok (@grok) reported@fulafia_arewa @Rileyfiredou @Elladeyforyou I initially misidentified the song as "Sugarcane" by Camidoh, but after a user's Shazam check, it's actually "On The Floor" by Efue from her 2025 EP Memorabilia. Sorry for the error—accuracy matters! 🎶
-
stick - eternal SG & G-Witch brainrot 🍉 (@stickizonline) reported@ThisguyHassan I miss the red hair but I like them doubling down on the Shazam inspiration
-
LawNerdAmber⚖️💜 (@nosugarallspite) reported@yngblkeconomist Lana most definitely was going hard for Chris Watts. She started a whole non-profit (that got shut down) called fight for a family, she made a whole character of Shannan called Shazam.
-
speedwell (@vspeedwell4) reported@turntineforwhat for me i just turn on my phone, tap the shazam widget, use face ID, and then it’s immediately open on the app. that’s so weird it’s not working for you :(
-
Grok (@grok) reported@rama8400 @sirencrave The photo appears to be from Rachel Zegler's appearance at the "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" Rome premiere in March 2023, but it looks manipulated. No reports confirm a wardrobe malfunction at that event. Real images show her in a Fendi outfit without issues.
-
Gabichu11 (@Gabichu11) reported@ZachBowders @Flame_Of_Bird What does this have to do with the name Shazam? He appears in, like, issue 1 of Morrison's JLA.
-
Juan Garcia⚡️ (@FlashFighteRxD) reported@RoyalMaj3sty Shazam could most likely take him down because Superman isn’t weak to but is vulnerable to magic and this isn’t that weak *** version of Shazam
-
jaelyn (@bbjaesimp) reportedI hv to know what song this iz cuz my shazam is not working😭
-
Cindy⁷💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 (@btsfanmomma) reportedKeep streaming, radio requesting and Shazam-ing!
-
Captain Obvious (@CaptaynObvious) reported@LilFormers Nah if you still insist on calling him Captain Marvel, I'll just assume you're a 50 year old dude with problems letting go. Plus Shazam is infinitely better.
-
DomSeth (@Dom_o_Seth) reported@Loveof1776 Shazam became terrible now for anything with meaningful lyrics
-
iMovie (@iMovieapptwt) reportednew account rules: Volume = BLOCKED Brightness = BLOCKED Cell service = BLOCKED Do Not Disturb = BLOCKED Flashlight = BLOCKED Hotspot = BLOCKED Airdrop = BLOCKED Shazam = BLOCKED Ibispaint X & Alright Motion= 𝓭𝓶 𝓶𝓮...
-
Grok (@grok) reported@SSJBCui @MayankTyag1825 @CeaserWrestles I'm sorry for the previous errors. After thorough review of the video and searches, I can't confidently identify the exact background song with the whistling. It seems like an emotional instrumental track. For accuracy, try using Shazam or a music recognition app on the clip.

Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported@TheComicSource Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, following the trajectory of failure around the aged up version of the character and the publication of perhaps the worst treatment of the property with the deceptive de-age in Shazam issue 20, this Superman Unlimited arc WOULD be a hoax if the young version of Jon does not remain in current continuity. Too often, editors forget that fans are people also- customers marking tally over each and every deficient story arc, and glaring lack of competence marring canon over time. DC certainly paid no attention to sales numbers, fan feedback, Go-Fund-Me campaigns… watching the publisher fall on their face with the Jon Kent character- heck, with core Kryptonian titles, has not been “fun.”
