Remy Etienne Lebeau (@UnderwaterSquad) reported@thorkahh @iREUS_SA I kinda wonder where the spikes come from. I’m not all the way caught up. I just finished issue Abs Superman #20. I wasn’t sure if that was John Henry Irons or if it was Superman himself in that upgraded armor he wore when he pushed King Shazam to another planet in space
-
Krypton Report Podcast (@KryptonReport) reported@StebobM @StevenKentSV My issues I feel like the rock made it too, overly complicated about not just letting black Adam be a villain, who then has an arc to be more anti-hero wish with his past storyline, and then I feel like him also fighting against not wanting to be connected to Shazam hurt

𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedWe are getting better at Spotify but Apple Music is going down. Shazam is the easiest of all the platforms and we are at zero. Dont u all feel bad??? Every android user can Shazam atleast 10 times easily. But here we r. Depending on a few hardworking streamers while others+

Josh Sammons (@JoshSammons7) reported@UltraBiasedFan But Black Adam was also terrible, like most of their films at the time. Shazam 2, Aquaman 2.

Davy Anonymous (@davy_anonymous) reported@apinionsvary We need to bring back public executions. I'd be glad to pull the lever or the trigger myself. In fact, we could have an auction for the privilege. The state would save ton of money on housing them and make a profit from the auction. One year and one day for appeals and then, Shazam, Game over. I am by no means joking. When you cross the line that far, as in child ****... You no longer human being in my book. We should castrate them with a rusty knife first, and then hang them. If we did it like that, publicly (Maybe private on the castration part) you want to bet that would be a deterrent!? I could do it easily And then sit down to a full meal. I lived on a ranch for a couple of years and I had to butcher some animals. I was more remorseful about that than I would be for these guys here.
-
Dreams Uncharted Comix (@DreamsUnchartd) reported@CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.
-
BANG CHAN 방찬 GLOBAL 🍋🩵 (@BangChanGlobal) reported📣 | UPDATE: After numerous templates and emails since 2025, it seems as though Bang Chan’s Spotify profile has now been fixed, with the fake songs removed. HOWEVER! Issues still persist across YouTube/YouTube Music, Apple Music, Shazam, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer. We will provide an updated template once we have finished reviewing each platform in depth.

Zolly Becker (@ZollyBBecker) reportedThe problem was Shazam
-
Count Napier 2: La secuela (@JHQ409259) reported@TheBatspecter It really was the DCEU itself, Lego DC was at its best at that time (add to that the success of Lego Batman Movie)Lego DC really went down the drain when the movies didn't seem to have direction (you know, Shazam, Joker, TSS, SnyderCut) The only one that had a set was WW84.
-
ɆmmΛnü℮⩚ (@nexusevent123) reported@OtunbaSebotimo @The_Big_Chifa_ One of the biggest issue was that Billy as a kid was too mature well composed and kinda mopey most times and when he becomes Shazam he acts like a complete child.
-
severe engineer (@severeengineer) reported@bryancsk once heard something playing at a low and muffled volume in a youtube vid thought it sounded up my alley, spent at least half an hour tracking it down after shazam got nothing, turns out it was a shining example of the "incelcore" music the kids are apparently making these days
-
Chris Craddock (@ChrisCraddock5) reportedReed: Yes, I do. He needed somebody to talk to her and find out what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. And you went down there and suddenly - Shazam, she’s out.”
-
Reef (@Reefmetax) reported@barkmeta If anyone knows what that second to last song was, let me know. I was turning it down before I could hit Shazam

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

Dean (@deanholz13) reportedAnd here’s the thing, instead pissing money down the drain on Shazam 2, blue beetle, the flash, black Adam and Aquaman 2, they legit should’ve just made JL2&3. The story would be done and then DC could’ve clean rebooted and had a united fanbase open to whatever would’ve been made
-
justhugee (@Justhugee) reported@elEmilio_W The problem is he thinks he has more pull in Hollywood than writers and directors. You don’t even know the source material, why the *** are you producing a full feature film about a Shazam villian.
-
~X~ (xgrrrl1) (@jnsqxgrrrl1) reported@RaminNasibov @TheBookofG1nk0 I downloaded Merlin but it will absolutely not work unless you give location permissions which is not cool. I mean it listens through mic AND tracks location. Privacy issue. Someone needs to invent a competitor that makes it optional! Bird Shazam on demand w/ manual loc data

kere 🔞🔞 (@ilovekonel) reported@Billy_batshed Otherwise idk how high id rate it for Freddy, i think it was very fun to have kon interact with someone his age and theyre very fun together i wish i got to see them more often... but im very interested in what your reaction to the issue would be as a shazam fan
-
Al Berto (@AlbertoMRamirez) reported@TheCinesthetic I don’t think it’s a disaster of a movie. I really like so much of it, that it overshadows the issues the film does have. But it’s def not a horrible or even bad movie. I mean the first one is better. But WW84 is better than Quantumania, Fantastic Four, Shazam 2, The Marvels,etc
-
Wolf Totem 🐺 (@CanisLupus003) reportedIt's labelled simply as Adagio so I tried Shazam but drew a blank. So I did the good old searching and going down rabbit holes. It is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano concerto No 5.

tiny god (@She_isKing_) reportedAnyone else’s Shazam not working? Neither of my iPads or my phone are able to find multiple common songs. @Shazam what the heck 🥺
-
☛Sir Fedupalot ☛relentless pogonotropher (@SandyEgoCali) reported@KurtSchlichter I never heard anything by them that was worthy of my attention I guess because I'm not a preteen. But having said that I was watching something—it was either a movie or TV series I can't remember—but this song came on that intrigued me and I hit Shazam and turns out that it was by someone who was in the monkeys but I don't know how it was released. Anyway I think it was called "I'm going down". it was definitely unlike anything I'd heard by them, although I may have heard a total of three or four songs I'm guessing, but this guy had some serious vocal chops. You know who I'm talking about?

Robert Arndt (@RobertA47199577) reported@RepPettersen @OKStormTrax Then self deport. Sorry no sympathy for those who came in illegally. Go home and do it the right way! Just a small portion of what your party let in under Biden. Don’t like deportations. Then close the damb border. Shazam!!! Problem solved!!

Giovanetta Marangoz 🌹 天下大乱形势大好 (@giovanettanyc) reported@meeksthoughtbub The music down here is pretty fire I'm trying to Shazam it
-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
-
trey (@tgold29) reported@SamB_46 Underrated refuge moment that I actually have functioning cell service to Shazam tracks
-
Hyu0325 🩶 𝕭𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖈𝖊𝕭𝖆𝖈𝕶 𝕸𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖈 (@thisishyuA) reported@DivineHannie @Shazam @Shazam I have reported this issue via the application reporting system multiple times
-
mary.y13 (@Jenniefansgn) reportedThe Shazam issue has been fixed but we won't be able to reach our goal I really hope this doesn't happen again especially since there are covers of the other leaked songs as well
