ewgenijwolkow (@ewgenijwolkow) reportedwhat happened to @Shazam ? There was a time when you could hum a song for 5sec and it would find it. Now you can play 10sec of the actual song and it doesn’t find anything?! What a degradation of service
-
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
-
Joe Mish (@JoeMish3) reported@BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

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
-
Bede Fan (@Choking_Dog) reported@axel12381403 @FandomWasp I think this was miles better than the shazam issue though this was actually meaningful to Jon's character and was never meant to be a supersons thing, plus its in Txyz character to mock Jon with the aging up comment, he's trying to ruin Jon so he never gets defeated eventually
-
THE CAPTAIN ⚡️ (@Lightingclap) reported@UpbvatReporter “A-an interview?” Shazam stammered nervously as he looked down at the reporter. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “With me? Are you sure? There’s plenty of other heroes around.”
-
Ironhead841 (@Mt2Aguy) reportedLook I don't know who this fellow is (I assume he's some sort of a bigwig in the beverage industry) but that's a terrible name for this app. If we're gonna rename it let's go with "Shazam!" or "Ka-chow!" ya know, something catchy and fun.
-
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.
-
ゴッドファーザー The Godfather (@Igniteoud) reportedThe success rate for discovering songs via @Shazam has dropped. Perhaps the algorithm is flawed or there have been many errors recently. Shazam struggles to identify songs, particularly those in the progressive house and dub techno genres. @Apple @AppleMusic
-
Christopher Marc (@_ChristopherM) reported@Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.
-
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.
-
Ads (@Adsnewaccount) reported@Crazy_TFDesigns That and Shazam !People go overboard praising WW for some reason !It is a strong 8 but the final act has clear issues
-
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 ****** 😭😭😭
-
𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐄 (@SUPERB0YPRlME) reportedMy appearance in Shazam will always be worse you literally cannot do anything as terrible
-
Optimal Popsicle (@MansplainStuff) reported@ihatemeen_ Not like this, no. He takes out Batman first, cuz that ****** has the green rock. Then Flash, cuz he can fetch more green rocks, but wont think about it til Bruce is down. His biggest problems then are Shazam and WW cuz they are magic based.
-
Chitsu! 🌟 (Tsubasa Fanclub CEO) (@danganholic) reported@futurexhope This is actually true, yeah. The term AI is hard to define in itself and it can include tools like even Microsoft Word or Shazam if not delimited enough, but generative AI is a very specific part of it that is the core of the whole issue with AI these past years. Not that hard

Luna⁷𓍼(IA) (@2bts4kool) reportedI just saw someone Shazam they don’t know bout us at ARIRANG tour I legit had to put my phone down and sigh
-
Atro (@Atrocitus2008) reported@roger_stev82377 Shazam would have no issues even if they all came at him at once.
-
JUSTIN (@JustinMKowalski) reported@NickZednik If this is the math we are trying to math with, Levi is only one worth bringing back going by Shazam 1 performance. Anyone, burn it all down.
-
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
-
🇳🇴 AahYesHello 🐧🎶 (@AahYesHello) reported@ri_neb LandR is pretty decent in my opinion here is pros and cons: pro: They give you shazam, contentID for free Cover licenses are a one time payout If you stop paying your subscription they won't take down your songs, but take a 15% cur from your revenue Support team are humans only and no useless chat bot cons: Because they dont use AI in their systems they have a manual QC team that needs to look through your release and manually approve which takes some business days If you're making a remix they need documentation for rights of sample usage which takes even more days to process They dont support label plans and is generally for solo artists so if you were planning a "Various Artist" release it is usually meant for 1-3 artists per release Hope this helps

Pipis🪩🕺🏻💋 (@NIALLownsmeee) reported@inthehalwayrry i was in the nosebleeds in amsterdam and everybody was sitting down and didn’t even sing for most of the time😭even saw someone use shazam

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.

𝕄𝕒𝕟 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕡𝕖𝕥𝕦𝕤 𝕏 (@bahdmanpetus) reported@larrytooreaal You can just take a screenshot from the edit and send to any ai it’ll give you the answer , if there’s to be something like Shazam for movies it’ll neeed access to your screen , privacy issues would arise
-
222supergamer (@222supergamer) reported@ingricma87 @mjarbo James Gunn wasn't even involved with Shazam or Blue Beetle. They also just weren't movies people were interested in. TSS was a movie during covid that released in both theaters and in HBO so no duh it didn't make money at the box office. Such terrible comparisons. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

jena (@srepsev) reportedthe venue under my apartment needs to stop playing remixes bro like I’m up here tryna Shazam this **** and it’s not working 💔
-
Gerald Dean (@Loser_Pot_tard) reported@PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.

Jimmy (@Jommy8311980158) reported@ReemAmirIbrahim @reason Wow. Grocery prices in RI about to increase Soooo stupid. Kinda like rent control, units available go down and Shazam it gets worse. ****** clowns

:) (@marcopoloed) reportedPlayed a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right
