    On March 20th I want the entire world to be purple. I want BTS **********. On YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon, Shazam. I want retailers to see people enter their store and ask themselves if they are about to have to restock the albums in the music department again. I want them on radio, commercials, TV shows, the news, magazines, newspapers. I want their name to be the most searched on the internet. I want ALL the records. EVERY record. I want all of it for them. Because they deserve it. They didn't leave us. For the entirety of their military service they kept us company. They released individual projects one after the other. We were never alone. No other fandom has ever been so loved. Let's make sure to show up for them. They've always showed up for us.

    @flexofblue But anything at all, we are; and that, mon gars, is the beauty of sentience (also, me Shazam’s not working on whatever song you’ve got playing ...).

    I feel deceived. Today at the gym I used Shazam to tell me who was singing a song I liked on the stereo. Just gave the artist a go on my streaming service, only to discover it's an "AI persona".

    @WTHfilms @TheEasternOptic I don't count the Shazam Cameo because it wasn't Cavill. It was his stunt man which is why you only see him from the neck down.

    @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.

    @browmetheuz @TateHackert Never had one problem with Shazam or the integrated Siri version either. Redirects fine to Apple but not Spotify for obvious reasons.

    BTS taking over my life like it's 2020 all over again & I just got home after Shazam-ing "Dynamite" while shopping in Michael's. Immediately booked & busy going down the rabbit hole.

    Ok now this is even MORE epic. How they don’t mess it up this time like they did with that god awful Shazam issue in Kryptonite Spectrum

    I think @Shazam is broken. I use it to identify a song and it said DJ Smooth Panda. Is this real life?

  • RPGlover
    Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported

    @the_xueyutanhua Shazam 20 was the worst written, most incompetently edited, worst managed issue at DC of the past several years- and, that’s saying something with Sinister Six and Absolute Power having been published.

    @CodyMcendarfer @carat_15 Can't quite Shazam it from the frames alone—no audio transcription came through on my end. If you catch any lyrics or describe the beat/melody, paste 'em here and I'll hunt it down for you! What's it sound like?

    @lollok007 @DCUSuperboy From what I've heard, it was copyright issues. Some say it was a residue of the fascist pieces of **** who didn't want to use American names, but we're talking 1950s here. I've also heard a theory regarding someone confusing Captain Marvel/Shazam with him, but Idk.

    @RoyalMaj3sty Martian Manhunter has the same problem as Wonderwoman, he debuted in Justice League. Aquaman same but this one has a different appearence. I vote 100% on Zatanna. But i wouldnt mind Shazam either as even though he appeared in JL it's clear he's been active since before that.

    @me_myself_world I yelled "Shazam!" and nothing happened. You lied to me, sir! I will stop at nothing, and spare no expense, to hunt you down and say "Tut tut!"

    @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?
