-
BANG CHAN 방찬 GLOBAL 🍋🩵 (@BangChanGlobal) reported📣 | UPDATE: After numerous templates and emails since 2025, it seems as though Bang Chan’s Spotify profile has now been fixed, with the fake songs removed. HOWEVER! Issues still persist across YouTube/YouTube Music, Apple Music, Shazam, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer. We will provide an updated template once we have finished reviewing each platform in depth.

Triquduma (@LadumaNdin) reported@CStarkov43557 @MarlonManc99134 @SomaKazima2 You bringing up inconsistency in comics which most characters have Same way Superman can be life an entire galaxy in one issue but in the next be beaten by someone like Batman or Shazam
-
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
-
My SAVD Spirit (@SquallingSpirit) reported@Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@empatheticcain It wasn’t a rights issue. DC could always call Billy Captain marvel and even did so several times in alternate universes when his name was “Shazam” They just couldn’t call his comics “Captain marvel” and Geoff Johns decided to change the name in the New 52.
-
Flerken (@NotFlerken) reported@DragonMaster478 @ExigaNail @DEB10042 It’s just how things have been for decades. He was called Captain Marvel all the way through the 2000s. In New 52, DC decided they wanted to get rid of the complicated rights issue by just naming him Shazam instead. Which led to a lot of conflict with fans.
-
Igwe Okoye (@MrAdamas) reportedGoogle Pixel used to have a cool feature with Now Playing. It had the silent drop down notification. Now it's basically Shazam. Why do I have to open the app or turn off my phone to view the lock screen to know what's playing? So inconvenient
-
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.
-
trey (@tgold29) reported@SamB_46 Underrated refuge moment that I actually have functioning cell service to Shazam tracks
-
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
-
pengasys (@pengasys) reported@p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.
-
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.
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@VesselorConnor @empatheticcain Cancelled after 15 issues. The book was a direct continuation of the curse of Shazam, which Johns just finishing being an executive producer for the movie. So it really seems like Johns was fully onboard with that version of the character to me.
-
Pencil Lord (@sm0ke828) reported@R0ssb1e @Bad_____bunny99 There's nothing close about the fight. Thragg aren't even as strong or as fast as Shazam, Thragg aren't seen anything or face anything like Shazam before but Shazam has taken down people far powerful than Thragg like I said earlier they're not on the same level.
-
~X~ (xgrrrl1) (@jnsqxgrrrl1) reported@RaminNasibov @TheBookofG1nk0 I downloaded Merlin but it will absolutely not work unless you give location permissions which is not cool. I mean it listens through mic AND tracks location. Privacy issue. Someone needs to invent a competitor that makes it optional! Bird Shazam on demand w/ manual loc data
-
kait (@kaituhhh) reportedalmost 2 years ago, someone walking by was trying to shazam beat up chanels as i was listening to it first time w my windows down at a red light
-
*** (@gaiusrichardo) reportedshazam for iphone is terrible shazam for android works far better
-
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
-
ThatDeadHead (@SteveGr16838876) reported@OtunbaSebotimo The problem with the movie the kid actor acted nothing like the Shazam version, he was way too serious and didn't have the same charm
-
Bolbi Stroganofsky (@HTL1998) reported@BatKilmer @UltraBiasedFan Apparently it was Emmerich who was so mad at Cavill for turning down a cameo in the first Shazam film that he vindictively did whatever he possibly could to derail his tenure as Superman.
-
PlanetFanatix (@planetfanatix) reportedGod these are awful. I truly wish DC figures could fall into Hasbro‘s hands. McFarlane isn’t even trying at this point. I have been waiting for a black Canary and she looks terrible. Vigilante is OK in that new Shazam 🤮🤮
-
T (@nc_king_) reported@damiebi10 Every sequel from the dceu was a complete disaster Ww Shazam Aqua man Hell the solos were terrible
-
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.
-
Anna (@Annanasow) reportedSeems to me that illegal 'back to life' has been finally taken down from ig. Still shazam to go...
-
Carl Feher (@CJ_Feher) reported@DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!
-
Jaymovies (@juliandceu) reported@jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.
-
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.
-
Brice 🎈 (@BriceTheBestOne) reported@kalisredmoon Well atleast its doing well on itunes/apple music/shazam worldwide. Spotify sucks yeah and its been frozen on tiktok. My quote post was a response to the hate and how IHHM is better. You'll never see me on this app looking for trouble like stans here do.
-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
