Shazam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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 😭
-
Bibhuti Bora (@bibhutibaibhaav) reported@YRANACKCALB The huge problem is Shazam is the personality of the both actors. They are really different
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
ionuț 95 (fan account) (@BraveForGaga95) reportedIt's on you if you can't see it, the song is literally #2 on Shazam Global, radios keeps refusing to play it, the streams are going down instead of up, the views on YT are also going down. Anyway those are just soundtrack songs so idc that much overall if they don't do it
-
***** Archer 🏹 (@DirtyArcher) reported@NicholasCraven_ Man i heard a sample like a year ago and tried to Shazam it but my service was *** and til this day I'm still trying to figure out the song lol.
-
Chris Craddock (@ChrisCraddock5) reportedReed: Yes, I do. He needed somebody to talk to her and find out what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. And you went down there and suddenly - Shazam, she’s out.”

anni❤️🔥 (@Annikadabra_) reported@sweettweetangie Girl Problems by Bradley Jago sagt shazam

🇳🇴 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

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.

Eat_My_Shorts (@YULITTL) reported@Blu_lulululu @iansmith06 @benardonhard Brother the same people handling the dcu rn have been in DC since 2021 making all those terrible movies like flash, aquaman 2, birds of prey, Shazam 2. James Gunn, Peter Saran, Christina, Andy mushetti. All these people made trash dceu movies before the reboot and stayed after.
-
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
-
Jen🌸s ⚢ (@NeXJ9) reported@ughfinewhatever @bree_mck I was gonna say u can’t check shazam history if u don’t have the app, but I held down on the extension and it literally told me the history. Well I’ll be dammed
-
Fatster (@DarrellKaram) reported@DCUAlert Batman. He would be a terrible casting choice for Shazam and Zachary Levi is already killing it as Shazam
-
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
-
John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reportedWhen you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 5-12 for the NFL season. YIKES!

🍉 Damian Wayne te amo 🍉 (@FandomWasp) reported@zhang_digiden One could hope, i mean, considering to where we were before (#that Shazam Issue was last year i recall?) Their storyline is actually improving. seems like someone in the writting room aknowledges trying to break their bond is equivalent to burn money.
-
🎀melie🎀 (@ch13m3l13) reportedInstead of me to ask for playlist I’d rather Shazam one billion songs idk what’s my problem sef😡
-
Péist Mhór (@BigWorm11174792) reportedShazam had no answer for blade 2. Close to infallible normally, 3 wrong answers tonight!! Just put on pulp fiction and it had no problem picking up tracks from that.
-
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....
-
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
-
Red Ranger Chris (@RedRangerChris) reportedI'll always stand by the fact that Blue Beetle was the best DC movie of that year. Shazam and Aquaman were totally forgettable at best, and The Flash had too many issues that ultimately held it back.
-
superladkid (@superladkid) reported@TheRochaSays What’s even more baffling is that Wonder Woman, Joker, Aquaman, and to some extent Shazam were all box office successes followed up with the most terrible inconsequential sequels you could imagine.

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

RickSeal (@Justrelaxabitt) reported@donovanmartin5 At this point I dont believe snyder will be back. Sure I preferred his style and tone. But that doesnt mean i can pretend this DCU stuff is interesting. Superman was entertaining but it still felt very cookie cutter and safe to appease all the old complaints. All these suit designs are just awful too. Supergirls box office is also telling that the dcus problems are abit more larger than a vocal minority. I dont know what the answer is for DC but I do know judging by everything since Birds of prey, shazam 2, ww84 that they need to ditch the action comedy feel good "family" stuff. Avatar is a great example of what the tone should be. Families watch avatar. They dont need to make everything "light hearted" for a family to watch it.
-
F Shuggi (@official_fkb) reported@ShaySiblings @mideysmith You guys need to stop with this Sentry glazing and all that, just cos he's one of your fav xters. The only person he might be able to take down on this list might be maybe WW & Shazam(kid brain), but he ain't soloing no one here.
-
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 :)
-
Terios (@Terios_FSE) reported@powcampsurvivor I remember in the movie they specifically mentioned watching Godzilla too. I don't know if that was real or just a fun line cause it was around that time. He DID base a lot of his persona on Shazam though so he'd be down with the cinematic universes too.
-
onowu(kingmaker) (@soundnerd_) reported@MrSoundHive I agree I think the best case scenario is working the chorus on socials to see if it gathers any motion. Even radio, just to see if it triggers Shazam at all. No point having a 1M bill, 6 months down the line on a hunch. I won’t have thought that if you didn’t ask
