𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝞰 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖 𝞑𝙚𝙖𝙧 (@AmerMommaBear) reported@WonderWomaNinja My hubby has access to everything and vise versa. We use one iTunes account because he has issues with passwords so we get most of each other’s texts & calls. My accounts are used for recovery of his accounts. After 30 yrs if I had something to hide, I shouldn’t be married.
-
Joey Schmo (@SchmoJosey) reportedThis is impressive considering that Itunes is a streaming service to buy/rent films so almost always the top films on itunes are new movies that are still in movie theaters but available for on demand. Or new movies that just came out the movie theaters for exclusive on demand.
-
Tech Deals (@TechDeals_16) reported@Krytopsy @EA iTunes hasn't had DRM on music in a very long time, yet somehow music piracy really isn't the problem it used to be back when it was all locked down. Remove the DRM, people will buy your product.
-
MalibuTheeMenace (@MalibuDollFace) reportedLmfao!!!! Now we know iTunes ain’t billboard & a vanguard ain’t a Grammy, YET WE KEEP SEEING DEM SINGLES SLIDE DOWN THE WALL THE NEXT WEEK. 64K SALES ON THE MOST “ powerful “ FANBASE IS A JOKE AT BEST!
-
c (@nIcgrmes) reportedi’m not confusing anything! okay so for example, the banned from no remix, because that’s been causing discourse within the fanbase. sure, it went #1 on itunes due to the barbz’s support, but it tanked in streaming bc the gp didn’t know/care about it to listen to it. this is where the problem lies. we all know barbz are gonna defend nicki down. but who’s gonna carry the success of her music? bfn remix didn’t even have enough points to have her credited on the song. what’s gonna happen when she drops nm6 and it tanks bc only a handful of people are buying it on mf itunes?
-
𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐚 (@auraofPNKSLAM) reported@MagicBardi @arithadon125556 You got your first #1 on iTunes in years. Settle down lmao. Let’s see that Spotify debut tomorrow. But again, more importantly, there’s no video so Atlantic didn’t believe in it.
-
𝐷𝑅𝐸 (@CockinessIV) reportedReally trying to understand why “Alone”STILL isn’t #1 on iTunes? Wtf is the problem Barbz? 🤨
-
Rooster83 (@Rooster832) reported@PureDeadCouchy @GamingSinceNES Honestly depends on a lot of different factors like your internet connection what service you're using etc etc but I believe iTunes and movies anywhere have dobly Atmos and vision and I believe they both stream at around 30mbps.
-
𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒 ✧ (@thebarbiebtx) reportedMaybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****
-
perrohunter (@perrohunter) reported@1000kilobytes I'm starting to believe it's futile, I've been opening radar issues since 2015 about iTunes (now Music) library management, and the bugs are still there 10 years later
-
᧔࿔᧓ 𝕆𝕟𝕚𝕜𝕒’𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕞𝕚 ໒꒰ྀི ˶ᵔ ³ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀིა (@onikasmiami) reportedThey down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭
-
Daya Gyan (@DayaGyan20) reported@chartspjm we just need one day for ITunes for break bts record suddenly lc disapper from itunes dont tell me all of this issue concidence they dont have any plan for jm in the first day that is all that is why they give him 10 day debut

Thee Ryan V (@Ryback78) reported@AllAboutMariah @iTunes Who the hell is buying Sabrina Carpenter’s ****** song? It’s a terrible song.
-
Homeless (@homelesst9) reportedspotify is down all i got is the undertale soundtrack on itunes
-
Aiden #LeaveHBOMaxAlone #FireDavidZaslav (@Aiden57518460) reported@ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.
-
Selena Gomez Charts (@SGchartupdate) reported"Calm Down" by @selenagomez and @heisrema re-enters the top 10 (#9) on US iTunes. 🇺🇸
-
John Ward (@jwflame) reported@rustytatra @Gammitin But all totally inaccessible and unavailable unless you first download and install the itunes spyware app, create an account, sign in and provide payment details, then perhaps it might be possible to see what is available. Physical media requires none of that BS.
-
BENZO-KAZOOIE (@BENZOTOOIE) reported@TheManlet_King I know how you feel Manlet, been dealing with my own problems today too. I have all these ITunes gift cards and no idea what to do with them….
-
Michael Buckelew (@MichaelBuckelew) reported@Mononokeva_TV @PJiggles_ As if we haven’t made jokes about the iTunes terms of service being signing our life away for 20 years.
-
𝓡𝓪𝔂 𝓓𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓭 𝓓𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓮 (@justAT3chGuy) reported@Gray22222222 Would full restore in iTunes fix this issue ?
-
Aleksa Sarai 暗号君 (@lordcyphar) reported@ibuildthecloud Stuff like the Newton is the obvious counterexample, but for a more modern example -- iTunes was apocalyptically bad for a very long time. For a more spicy take -- the iPhone was basically a toy until iPhone 5 (or 4, if you ignore the reception issues). A very Vista/7 dynamic.
-
Kristen Bridges (@KristenB198997) reportedAnyone else had problems with the Addison Raye album on iTunes I had already bought the singles before the album but when I bought the album, it didn’t group the singles into the album like it usually does so they’re separate and of course @AccessAddison
-
mari (@sydneybbristow) reported@brittscapes I thought for sure it was on Apple Music but apparently their streaming service didn’t even exist then, I bought it on iTunes??
-
Mariah Carey iTunes Chart (@MariahCharted) reported@iTunes Please look into .@MariahCarey's "Type Dangerous" single, despite its dominance on every platform some fans are having problem purchasing the single and it has not appeared on any iTunes Chart despite selling a great amount with 4 hours of its release (VERY UNCOMMON)!
