JUNI 🌠 (@BLKJUNICORTEZ) reportedSwear down i be in the club with my shazam ready😭😭😭
-
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.
-
KEFFCHXP FANPAGE (@13xkeff) reported@dfwtopski Stop that joke I once used shazam to find a song that got taken down I could not listen to it but it gave me the artiste name
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name

Joseph Mora (@PapiNCali) reported@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.

Mindy #TeamLH@MVF1 (@MindyMVF1) reported@CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

Dream🌸⁷⦿⊝⊜ᴀʀɪʀᴀɴɢ (@Sapnakahar2) reported@k00bi Someone post a tutorial as I did download and all but i am facing issue navigating it + I did play songs on my Spotify but it was not showing on shazam

herb 🌿 (@theybert) reportedshazam is the worst card service out there LET ME SPEND MY ******* MONEY
-
DeeViDual (@DeeViDual) reported@ayothesage_ He did shrug off the flow of information that was weighing Shazam down even with Solomon's wisdom. He was seeing that and still had time to worry about Shazam. So it's not far fetched to say that he can
-
Flerken (@NotFlerken) reported@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.

blustarr 🐍 (@thestarthefire) reportedbeen 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....
-
Hype Feed⚡⚡⚡ (@Hypershocke) reported@roger_stev82377 People seem to forget that Shazam is powered by six gods and imagine the six of them against Thor and hulk bro it's gonna be a massive beat down 💯💯💯
-
Anny (@AnnySan1048425) reported@HanisRashidi @joker573426 @Rigoldente79928 Down so bad with no real streaming numbers to brag about that they’re flexing Shazam searches now..like it’s the same thing as streams. 😭 They really think 400k counts as streams. Its like never even went to school😭
-
penis (@penis7977055683) reportedi once insulted someone’s music taste then when they played music like two months later it was so good, but the problem is i can’t tell them that.. so i installed shazam and stole them myself #independent
-
🎀melie🎀 (@ch13m3l13) reportedInstead of me to ask for playlist I’d rather Shazam one billion songs idk what’s my problem sef😡
-
Crypto Wolf 🐺 (@cryptowolf_ofc) reported@the_Bradster007 The problem is that there isn’t nearly enough interest in Shazam, Cyborg, Flash, Aquaman, or Green Lantern compared with all of the Marvel super heroes. This was sadly destined to fail

zangothando (@zango_kubheka) reportedWhoever is responsible for the degradation in Shazam’s service quality…
-
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.”

NBA HENDRIXX (@38BaBydrixx) reported@Favourblinz_ Ghanaian artist ankasa be someway imagine Shazam don’t even know larruso en song the thing shock me. Cos this just down to bad management. They need to work on there crafts on god
-
PlanetFanatix (@planetfanatix) reportedGod these are awful. I truly wish DC figures could fall into Hasbro‘s hands. McFarlane isn’t even trying at this point. I have been waiting for a black Canary and she looks terrible. Vigilante is OK in that new Shazam 🤮🤮
-
Har Dey Wale🪖 (@CFC_adewale) reported@Ayeloja0 You people will just sit down and hype rubbish Seyi dey pack quantity over quality, that’s why his songs don’t have replay value why do you think people still dey go back and vibe to all Asake old albums till today? Who still dey remember Shazam or Instagram today lol
-
KIRAN KUMAR (@kd83kiran) reported@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.
-
bori | IT'S PRIME TIME!!! (@bori___cha) reported@MILFMlLK source wall yes. I forgor abt that ngl (it happens after the green cube) but the monsterlands... uncertain. death metal almost entirely decanonizes his shazam issues bc it acts as if he just got out of the source wall but honestly who freakin knows
-
minion maniac (@ihateweirdcreep) reported@magmortality @MyNameIsWepeeI I have a really bad auditory processing problem and unironically just figured out today that a song I’ve been enjoying when I hear it come on is not, in fact, in English. I only figured it out because I finally thought to Shazam the song because I couldn’t remember enough words to Google it myself. I was like “wait what there’s zero English” So basically I do this to the highest degree with any song in any language :)
-
T3Collects (@T3Collects) reportedYour other location 25 mins away? All the same figures except Shazam were also sitting on the shelf because it was already bought. I don't understand why you guys can't fix your inventory issues!!!
-
JoshS (@303FAN) reportedI think @Shazam is broken. I use it to identify a song and it said DJ Smooth Panda. Is this real life?

Saint Sam J. of IU Indy (@winatTheJim) reported@Bunny_ngl Order burgers and -Shazam- the amount you tip goes down

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+

TBPN (@tbpn) reportedShazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.

Star cinema (@jjahluv) reported@Emmmavic So Shazam got superpowers, and suddenly even his own parents couldn’t recognize him anymore… yeah, superhero problems really hit different 😭
