Hello again!
It’s time for the SingStore update and without further ado, let me introduce you to this week’s brand new tracks.
You asked for more Depeche Mode so you’ll be pleased to see ‘Everything Counts’ in this update, plus SingStar must-haves ‘Smooth Operator’ by Sade, Somebody To Love’ by Queen and Gloria Estefan’s ‘Dr. Beat’
For all fans of the hottest tunes of the moment there’s Kasabian’s recent single ‘Fire’ plus some great tracks by The Coral, The Hold Steady and Coldplay.
Foreign language songs this week come from Finland, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands in the shape of artists Happoradio, Quidam and Guus Meeuwis to name a few.
We’ve recently had some reports from the community about ‘Charmless Man’ by Blur being slightly out-of-synch. I’m glad to say that this has been fixed so if you have previously downloaded this track, please delete it from your hard drive and re-download it from the store anytime after Thursday and everything should be ‘nananananaaanaaaaa’ again.
Speak soon,
Nina x

Thank you, I will pick up 2-3 of these. Any Norwegian songs on the to-do list in the future?

Thanks for the coldplay song.
PS: Was a medley ment to come with the coldplay songpack 2? I didn’t get one, but it said there is ment to be one, on the description for the songpack.
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:09 pm by Nina Scherer
Just downloading it now and having a look – it should definitely have a medley!

A pretty good update guys.
I’m just gonna put my request forward, again for any track, on the William Shatner Ben Folds produced Has Been album. I know there’s someone in the office who hears me loud and clear and thinks… YES, this is the time triumphantly!

I guess this means an 11th Coldplay song on Singstar for me, and Mambo number 5, hooray!!
Been waiting for this for ages as I know it was on the French/Spanish initial Singstar disc on PS3. Hoping the Daft Punk tracks follow shortly!

Finally another song of Kasabian. Thank you for this! But with the exception of this it’s one of the weakest updates.
Nina, I got a question. I’ve downloaded the Coldplay II songpack last time, but the medley doesn’t show up in the medley section of the song caroussel. I heard that other people have the same problem.
And in addition to this, it would be so nice to have songs of Passion Pit
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:13 pm by Nina Scherer
See above on Coldplay – I have the same problem right now. Sorry – let me try and look into it and fix it asap!

Nina, last Friday night I went to a karaoke bar, in Soho actually, so just around the corner from the SCEE HQ. Anyway some friends and I really enjoyed our attempts to sing “California Love” by Dre Dre and Tupac. Anyway, I would like to relive this moment so would really like to see this track or any other hip-hop influenced music on the Singstore. Incidentally, the store is definitely lacking music of this genre – it might be more difficult to perform rap without lots of practise, but the fun-factor, especially when drunk, is excellent!

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 4:58 pm by Tntnnbltn
Yippee, another Pink track!
Also, I mentioned the Blur being out-of-sync thing to a friend of mine. They wanted me to pass onto you that Modest Mouse – “Ocean Breathes Salty” is also out of whack. I don’t own the track myself, but is there any chance you could have a look at it and check?
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:13 pm by Nina Scherer
Let me check it out.

I would love it if you could access Singstore through the Playstation Store.
10
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:07 pm by Tntnnbltn
imajinetion: Why? It would be exactly the same, only you wouldn’t get the category sorting features or automatic video previews.

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:11 pm by WhiteWolfDK
I am wondering a thing – can you use the Singstore on all editions of SingStar – our oldest girl has the High School Music edition, I haven’t cheked, but would she be able to access the singstore from this or does she need some other editions?
//WhiteWolf
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:25 pm by Nina Scherer
Hi WhiteWolf,
I’m afraid the High School Musical game is not a SingStar disc and therefore she unfortunately won’t be able to access the SingStore with it.
Also, if you want to get access to the SingStore in future, you will need to make sure that you have a PS3 SingStar disc rather than a PS2 disc.
Hope this helps,
Nina

Looks like a pretty big update, and I’ll be getting a couple of those…but I doubt we’ll get the Queen tracks in America, huh?
Strangely I’ve been craving some Michael Jackson like everyone else.
Any possibility of getting SingStar Disney as downloads, me and my friends were disappointed that it was never released in the USA.
Thanks Nina!!

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:17 pm by Hasquarl
Hey, decent update but I don’t think I’ll get anything this week. Not enough Muse of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Anyway, I have a question. How come all the European Countries are able to download “Freak on a Leash” by Korn, but Australia isn’t? Don’t we have the same tracklist?
Cheers Nina.
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 10:18 am by Nina Scherer
Hey -
Usually you do have the same tracks, yes but for some reason the Korn track was banned in Oz. Doesn’t happen often but unfortunately, this is one of them!

WhiteWolfDK: You CAN access the SingStore from all PS3 editions of SingStar… but “High School Musical: Sing It!” isn’t actually a SingStar game. It’s made by a different company, so no SingStore.
Nina: Thanks for checking out the Modest Mouse song. If you find out anything (either way) that I can pass onto my friend, just drop a comment on here and I’ll find it eventually.
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:36 pm by Nina Scherer
Hey – I just downloaded and played Modest Mouse and I don’t have any synching issues!?

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:21 pm by MAX3010
Nice selection of songs, especially those recent Radiohead ones, what we need now is some Bruce Springsteen songs because everyone of his songs are just AMAZING!!!!

Any news on the possibility of Pixies song?
Also some Little Boots or La Roux would be cool.
Thanks for another awesome update!

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 5:41 pm by Tntnnbltn
Thanks for checking it out anyway, Nina.
Their complaint was that they have to sing in advance of the song in order to score points. I’ll get them to check out their latency calibration settings in case it’s something in general that they’ve only noticed on this one song.
I’ll also purchase the song for myself and have a look. If I find any problems on my system I’ll get back to you.
Thanks again.
Posted on 21 July, 2009 at 10:22 am by Nina Scherer
Hey, so I heard back from back from our transcribers who checked the source files for any errors and everything’s in synch I’m afraid.

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 6:00 pm by Laraman
Nice update though none of the songs are ‘for me’. Some more Britney and Avril would be great though especially some of their more recent songs – Womanizer, Circus, If You Seek Amy, Radar, Girlfriend, The Best Damn Thing, Hot and When You’re Gone. *Gigantic hint, gigantic hint*
(Was that hint and song suggestion list obvious enough, I’m not sure.)
Anyway, I’ve always wondered and I’m not sure if you’re able to answer but when you’re getting music for Singstar games and the Singstore and the artists are ‘owned’ by Sony Music Entertainment/subsidary does the team have to pay licensing costs or is it a sort of ‘free’ thing? It would seem stupid to pay one part of the Sony company as it wouldn’t really effect the overall profit of the company. Or maybe I’m naive. Thanks if you can answer that question for me
.
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 10:45 am by Nina Scherer
Hint received
Ahhh, it would be lovely if things were ‘free’ but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that.

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 6:43 pm by VincentVendetta
Sorry Nina I still don’t have the Coldplay II Medley here. But I don’t really care since I consider medleys the worst part about SingStar.
By the way, when are we gonna have French-canadian songs in SingStar? Artists like Numéro#, Jean Leloup, and Malajube.
21
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 7:52 pm by Samarotu
/sigh
still no German songs.
Nina come get us some stuff…
What about Falco, MIA, Silbermond, Fanta 4, Rosenstolz, Die Ärzte and so on … we really would appreciate more stuff from them
from the English stuff i would suggest some Songs from Kosheen & Sophie Ellis Baxtor. these would make me happy too
22
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 8:18 pm by WhiteWolfDK
@ Nina & Tntnnbltn – Thanks for the answers, cleared the confusion up – when we bought the game for her it was listed on the website as a SingStar game, so I was just wondering – well, we just have to get her a real SingSar game then

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 8:31 pm by ROCKN1CHT
haha i was just downloading lots of songs last night and wondering why that queentrack wasn’t in there- *happy*
if i may, there’s 2 things i really miss on the otherwise oh so outstanding singstarexperience:
1.option to favoritize videos of other users, so you could find them easily back again.
2. a option to see the difference better between clips you downloaded on your harddrive and clips who are on your disk.
24
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 8:31 pm by Tntnnbltn
Nina,
I don’t know if you come back and check the replies the following day, but I also found issues with the Modest Mouse song on my system. I don’t want to crowd the comments section with this, so I’ll just direct you to this link: http://bit.ly/ss-timing
I explained the problem I observed, including a few pictures and a video. Hope this helps.

Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 8:34 pm by italiansongs
I’m still hoping for those Laura Pausini songs to come on SingStar! By any chance we could get them soon?
My little bro asked for the following songs:
Aerosmith – Dream on
Queen – Friends will be friends
The Offspring – You’re gonna go far, kid
James Morrison feat. Nelly Furtado – Broken strings
Thanks again!!

“Blue jean baby,
L.A. lady,
Seamstress for the band.
Pretty eyed,
pirate smile,
you’ll marry a music man.
Ballerina,
you must have seen her,
dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me,
always with me,
Tiny Dancer in my hand…”
Please, Pretty please

I’m not very satisfied with this update, but there are still a few must-have songs I haven’t bought yet, so… I keep my fingers crossed for the next update.
P.S. And (surprise?) I want the Beaaaaatleeeeessss ;(

If anyone wants to stop by my singstar profile, I’ll return the favor if you leave a comment on my page just saying hi or something.
I’m in need of views and ratings so I can get the trophies.

Another weekend with a little singstar get together has passed and it was bunches of fun, but there are just things that keep making friendsevents a burden, so here some requests to the dev team (although i realize this is just a store post):
- Disc swapping
If you actually get a bunch of people together to have a great time, having the songs split onto multiple discs is just total fail, everyone want’s a song from another disc. PLEASE, do something that will let us copy the content to the HD, make a mandatory 48 (or less nice, 24) hour authentication or something along those lines. We constantly had to swap 6 discs and that was a royal pita :/
- DL Songs
give us an option to separate, or delist the downloaded titles. it is very cumbersome to swap a disc only to have half the songlist not change and thus always having to switch through the same batch of songs. i can only think of this getting worse down the line while adding more dl titles.
oh pretty please singstar team, make it happen !
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 10:49 am by Nina Scherer
Yep – as you know you’re not the only one to mention disc-swapping
The team are aware but I have no info on if and when something like this will be possible. Sorry!
33
Posted on 20 July, 2009 at 10:26 pm by OttoT
Thanks for the Depeche Mode song but I rather have songs from Violator. This is a bit to old for my tast.
Could I convert my PS2 songdisk to the HD of my ps3 and play them straight from that menu? I just hate changing disks!

Hey Singstar Team where’s the Second Roxette Pack? I heard the news at daily roxette… Here’s the link: http://www.dailyroxette.com/node/18683
And when are you going to give us more famous P!nk songs like “Sober”, “Please Don’t Leave Me”, “U + Ur Hand”, “Who Knew”, “Stupid Girls”, “Feel Good Time”, “Trouble”, “God is a DJ” and “Don’t Let Me Get Me”? Or a Pi!nk Songpack maybe? Please answer me asap. Thanks!
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 10:53 am by Nina Scherer
Soon for Roxette, I promise!
35
Posted on 21 July, 2009 at 2:22 am by polite_society
Woo! More Depeche Mode = happiness.
I still hope that you might be able to release “The Bravery – Believe” on the au store one day. Though I would imagine it was probably a licensing issue.
Also some Cure would be nice

Shakira please! She’s from Sony Music!!!

Hi
Would The Script or Hilary Duff be coming to the singstore soon?
I’d love Viva La Vida as well.
Thanks

Can you please get some Josh Pyke?

I have the Modest Mouse track Ocean Breathes Salty and it plays fine on my end too @Tntnnbltn

Posted on 21 July, 2009 at 8:50 am by Wolves-boy
Not a bad update, yay for P!nk
Even though I love the feature of allowing PS2 Singstar playback, the inability to upload has always bugged me. Is it possible Nina to release either all PS2 songs or song packs to compensate for this as I am willing to buy them to replace the old PS2 discs.
Also Nina if possible can you please let me know why there is not a single dance track release on Singstore, I am aiming at Cascada (as it was on Pop Hits PS2) also foreign countries have Basshunter which I would like us to have too if possible.
Thanks for all your help!
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 10:56 am by Nina Scherer
Hi,
As content for discs and the SingStore are two different things entirely it may not be possible to release all disc tracks onto the store. We try though….

Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 11:02 am by Nina Scherer
How about downloading some ‘Chic – Good Times’, ‘Sister Sledge – Lost in Music’ or ‘Earth, Wind and Fire – Boogie Wonderland’ to get you started?
44

Good update. It’s always nice to have more Coldplay. Are there any plans on putting “Viva La Vida” on the store. It was only available on a UK disc, so having the German versions of the SingStar discs, I’m still missing that one
Also, are there any plans on putting more German songs to the store, as we haven’t seen some for a while.
Posted on 22 July, 2009 at 11:40 am by Nina Scherer
Always trying…

Posted on 21 July, 2009 at 7:26 pm by pepbcn28
I would like to see “This is my life” from Amy MacDonald and “Viva la Vida” from Coldplay.
“This is my life” is in the Singstar vol 3 for PS3, but not in Spain!!!! We need it in the Singstore…

Posted on 21 July, 2009 at 8:15 pm by WarData
Hi!!! Another good selection of songs for Singstore. Roy Orbison – I Drove All Night and spanish songs REALLY NICE!!!
Nina, there are a few users that, after upgrade 4.10, still having same problem with Friend List on Singstar. In WarData for example, appears 35 friends while we have 96 friends with Singstar.
We hope you can help us and thanks for day-by-day better Singstore updates. We are waiting for Latin Hits as Shakira, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan spanish songs…and similar…Thanks!!!
See you, WarData
