Shazam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Boeing Directed Energy Weapon Express (@vagefjoer) reportedTerrible to have a song stuck in your head but not being able to Shazam it with your brain
-
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.

Aliff Aziz (@AliffAziz9) reported@OtunbaSebotimo It’s a great movie. The only problem is teenage Billy Batson is played as a serious, street-smart kid, but when he transforms into Shazam, he completely changes into an over-the-top, immature goofball. Doesn’t feels like they the same person
-
Paul Rodriguez (@PGRodriguez80) reported@KS052020 @jkbaker1117 @ParamountPics You would keep failing then. The GA do not want cbm. Unless you are OK with sub 500m box offices. That is fine if the movie has Joker or Shazam budgets. The problem with dc and now the mcu is that the fans want something the ga does not care for.
-
MER∆KI (@MerakiDelta) reported@DierkingJakob @Blaaaair96 @BlackMajikMan90 It may not have met expectations but it was still a financial success. It clearly also didn't damaged DC's reputation since SS, WW, Aquaman, and Shazam all were box office hits. You cant keep blaming BvS for the problems DC had long after it came out.
-
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.
-
One_Lone_Pixel (@One_Lone_Pixel) reported@Mandevil23 He was terrible as Shazam. This didn’t matter in the slightest.
-
Possession Comics (@PossessionComic) reported@RandyS0725 @fentyheffa Roy Thomas was going to tie him into the Shazam continuity. I wonder if there are rights issues? Although I know he's appeared in some animated stuff since then.
-
Fatster (@DarrellKaram) reported@DCUAlert Batman. He would be a terrible casting choice for Shazam and Zachary Levi is already killing it as Shazam
-
Richy (@RichyWarbucks) reported@_JTheChef I Shazam that **** so mfs ain’t gotta turn the music down
-
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.
-
Drü 🜃 (@drewexmachina) reportedI thought this film was complete garbage but this is a hill I'd gladly die on. Wish she'd gotten her own film and got rid of the terrible goofy Geoff Johns'y comedy of Shazam 2.
-
真光 (@illuminatus_est) reported@Abimbola_Fenwa Let Down is very sad, lol. I like Creep, No Surprises and Plastic trees and maybe Karma police. You dig Foxy Shazam too?
-
James L. Greenlee (@GreenleeGazette) reported@SpeelingBChamp @CaraAxtell @TheBabylonBee "Miracles" are plot-hole spackle. It literally fixes any logical problems with any story in the bible. It's magic. Magic can do anything, so no matter what problem there might be, shazam! Magic! It's juvenile silliness to me.
-
IsleofPigsStudios (Brand New Day Hype!) (@IsleofPigStudio) reported@C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.
-
𝒟𝒾𝒹𝒾 ☆ (@johan1151951) reported@emmywayne64 Shazam he is broken
-
Why You Yelling (@Whyyouyelling1) reported@WongUpdates That was cool as ****. I'll never forgive the internet for gaslighting us into thinking Black Adam was a terrible movie cause the Rock didn't want to interact with those mid *** Shazam movies
-
Ashley Serakalala (@ashseraka) reportedHe wouldn't be back if the people of Voslo didn't shut down those Shazam shops !!! Power to the people, now make sure those Shazam shops never operate!!
-
Anna (@Annanasow) reportedSeems to me that illegal 'back to life' has been finally taken down from ig. Still shazam to go...
-
Give Palestine a nuke (@FarrrlzBarkley) reported@OrevaZSN You could probably do this with existing Shazam by uploading a bunch of tracks of various car sounds to YouTube or something with titles indicating the problem and waiting for Shazam to index them
-
Ken Hommel (@TooCloseToTheTV) reported@BackintheBronze Sent cash in for Shazam! then it was cancelled. For the two remaining issues, they sent a Super Friends and a Superman. I also got one of the many subs won in the Superman Trivia Contest. I chose Action so I would get the giant sized #500.
-
पुरु Puru (@Uhmactually2205) reportedI feel like if we were still living in the time of post crisis books where Captain Atom, firestorm, Shazam, hitman, ertigan got 30 issues with the same creative team then writers wouldn't gravitate so much towards Batman.
-
femcel maddie (CR: SMTIII) (@ultsoggymaddie) reported@DespairNem obv there's stormfront who's supposed to be transformed shazam but there's also a billy batson kid but he doesnt get his own arc he just appears for an issue or two i think
-
Yash solankee (@Yash48902641) reportedthis is currently not supported due to Android/Nothing OS limitations, rather than a Shazam permission issue. It worked on my older Poco C3, so this feels like a step backward.
-
StevenCaelleigh (@Caelleigh1) reported@LPNH There needs to be a Superhero who's the reverse of Shazam; he's superpowered until someone calls him a "******" and it powers him down into a child.
-
trey (@tgold29) reported@SamB_46 Underrated refuge moment that I actually have functioning cell service to Shazam tracks
-
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
-
littledaisy 🌼 (@hanniedontcare) reportedI was just thinking about this now.. it was so unfair. we got less time to prepare for nonexistent, super poorly organized Back To Life promotion. practically zero promotion outside twitter, broken links, the song was stolen across streaming platforms, shazam got hijacked, MV + release announce last minutes and BTL hit streaming a month later. we were on our own while other fbs got weeks to prep. we could've done so much more with an early heads up. we could've easily debuted with over 1M streams if jyp wasnt so ****** 😭😭😭
-
JosMe💯 (@Keepee16) reported@wrld_of_Grace Shazam is not working, I did it 3 times...
-
Ads (@Adsnewaccount) reportedHad negligible involvement with Flash ,AM 2 , Blue Beetle , Shazam 2 all projects green lit before he arrived and mostly shot CC didn’t fail Peacemaker season 2 only had a finale problem Supergirl is the only failure It’s funny you don’t give him credit for Penguin’s success
