Summary
Instagram apologized after a glitch caused the Creed song “Higher” to appear excessively in user recommendations. The band, known for hits like “With Arms Wide Open,” gained renewed attention in 2023 and 2024 when sports teams adopted the song. According to CNN, users reported an overabundance of “Higher” in their feeds, prompting an internal investigation. A spokesperson confirmed the song was being recommended more than intended and said they were still looking into the issue. The glitch affected other songs, including Soulja Boy’s “Turn My Swag On,” but the algorithm functioned normally for that track.
