Hi there and welcome to the next SingStore update.

Foreign language singers’ choices this week include: Jürgen Drews with ‘König Von Mallorca’, ‘Pidä Kädestä’ by Indica and Buraka Som Sistema with ‘Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)’.
The SongPack this week comes from Amy Winehouse, so warm up those vocal chords and take on Amy with her distinctive soulful tunes.

Hey Guys any chance of some real rock songs from maybe Foo Fighters, Red hot Chilli Peppers, Oasis etc? That would be great.
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:28 pm by Nina Scherer
Hi –
Not currently form these artists, I’m afraid, but we’ll certainly see what we can do about ROCK in general.

Great update thanks to Ace of Base !!!
But that’s a pity there’s no french song…
Nina, can you change this for the next update, please? Because, as you probably know, english language is not the french cup of tea…;-) so the same french songs are played everytime during karaoke parties at home !!!
By the way , I forgive you if you put other Ace of Bas tracks in the next update!
Cheers from France!!
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:32 pm by Nina Scherer
I know, I know, it’s not ideal but it’s not easy getting French content for the store at the moment. Maybe you’ll fiond some more English language tracks like Ace Of Base that are your tasse du the in the meantime?

Great update this week! Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Mika and Snow Patrol! Thanks for these songs.
Is there any chance to get never-released-by-singstar-yet songs by Keane in the near future?
Thanks for your reply
Emmanuel from France
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:00 pm by Nina Scherer
You want MORE Keane?

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:33 pm by BlaizeK
Gotta say I’m happy with Ace of Base and Yazz! Pretty meh for the most part tho
Need more Bubblegum pop and late 90′s classics!!!!
So Nina, since Kelly Clarkson has pretty much been one of the most Downloaded since she was added to the store, are we gonna be getting anymore Kelly Clarkson tracks anytime soon?
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:59 pm by Nina Scherer
Mhhh, not sure…

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:34 pm by l0_t0
Hi Nina, any news about more alternative/electronic bands?
Björk, Air, Massive Attack, Portishead, Beck, Fat Boy Slim….
There are a lot but you know what kind of music i mean.
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:58 pm by Nina Scherer
I know what you mean
Nothing i can promise right now but we are constantly working on so much stuff, it’s hard to say what can be released sooner or later.
6
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:36 pm by DJDamien
Mostly UMG PS2 disc stuff, but I’ll still get a few tracks from this.
A fantastic update for newcomers though!
Hope you keep the Erasure valve open

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:48 pm by zaz_fan
Hmmmm. Cheap week for me then
Do you not want my money lol
Maybe get some in the next update
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 4:57 pm by Nina Scherer
I hope you do!

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:08 pm by italiansongs
Nina! Do you know if there’s any other Tiziano Ferro song coming soon? “E fuori è buio” is beautiful, but how about “Alla mia età”, “Il Regalo Mio Più Grande”, “Non me lo so spiegare”… Thank you!
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:34 pm by Nina Scherer
Hi, I am not sure apart from the one in the Italian Starter Pack. Sorry!

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:10 pm by OttoT
When will we be able to import the tracks from singstar ABBA, Queen or the PS2 collection into the main game and on to the harddisk?
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:36 pm by Nina Scherer
I can only reiterate this again… I relly don’t know if this will ever be possible but certainly not in the very near future. I’ll keep you informed if anything changes.

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:15 pm by Mikasa_
Hi Nina!
Any chance that these songs will be available?
(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life – Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Summer of 69 – Bryan Adams
Will the songs of ABBA and Motown be available via PSN soon/ at all?
Btw. who was responsible for the Singstar Disney Tracklist!
What were they thinking =O)

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:24 pm by NUFCRULE
Hey Nina
nothing there i plan to get , sorry
but
have you got any news about Miley Cyrus or JLS being on the singstore , a while ago you said there was something in the works , could we expect them before christmas ?
is there any kind of big update planned just before christmas ?
and i would love to have Jason Derulo – Watcha Say in the singstore , please , would be a good male/female duet
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:39 pm by Nina Scherer
Hey – next updates are planned for 26/11 and 17/12. You’ll just have to wait and see…

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:34 pm by saintaqua
We miss you in America Nina. The US people are not very talkative at all.
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:38 pm by Nina Scherer
Ahhh, I’m sorry – I miss you guys, too. If you want to ask me anything on here, I’ll try and answer things for you as much as I can though

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:34 pm by Xardas-87
Hey Nina,
I just wanted to ask you, if you can tell us if the cool songs of the starter-set dics will become available for us any time soon. Amazon for example has listed “Broken Strings”, “Dance with Somebody” and “Wire to Wire” but i obviously can’t invest 60€ for a disc with 5 songs
Anyways, hope you can give us some insight
Xardas

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:37 pm by rospondek
‘Into my arms’ very nice!
Any news on Coldplay – Viva la vida? I just love this song!
And like wotta said. Any rock songs? Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit maybe?
15
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:38 pm by jelly_bean
This update is awesome… So many good artists from nowadays, the 90′s and 80′s… Good job… Hey Nina do you know when Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus are going to appear in the Singstore? Thanks!

“I can only reiterate this again… I relly don’t know if this will ever be possible but certainly not in the very near future. I’ll keep you informed if anything changes.”
Thats a shame, it looks Guitar Hero and Rockband are doing a better job. Changing discs during a party is always a show stopper and I often get questions why I caný put them on the HD.
Any word on HD clips instead of the oldfasion SD?
Months ago people came up with loads of good ideas to make Singstar even better (like being able to anly see the videoclip to enjoy or play Singstar with friends online).
Any word if you guys are doing something with those sugestions?
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:12 am by Nina Scherer
All suggestions have definitely being heard and taken onboard.
On the HD clips: There are not many videos we are getting supplied in HD format so SD will be around for a while.

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:47 pm by fr4nz_be
it’s sad that there’s still no french song…
18
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 5:48 pm by Dandliver90
When is Alphabeat – Fascination coming to the store, its been on the USA Store for ages, i have been waiting ages for the song to hit our singstore. Do you know if we are getting this song?
19
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 6:25 pm by jimmy-google
Any chance of any Robbie Williams? There seems to be a lack of his songs considering how many records he sells in Europe.
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:12 am by Nina Scherer
Maybe…
20
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 6:28 pm by Volmer
Very nice and varied update. However, is there any chance that more hard rock/metal tracks will hit the store?
Bands like Tiamat, Slipknot, KoRn, Cradle of filth, Slayer, godsmack, Motörhead and the likes?
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:13 am by Nina Scherer
I hear you all on the Rock/Metal front but we’ll have to see what we can get…
21
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 6:31 pm by kidnplay
Yay! Finally some Coldplay, and possibly my favourite song of theirs too!

Ready For The Weekend & Erase/Rewind (I want more songs from Cardigans
)
AWESOME
23
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 6:57 pm by philipathens
Some GREAT songs on that list
THANK YOU!
Can you plz tell me if there will be more Sugababes and Pussycat Dolls? I ve asking for them for ages
( I know we have one song for each, but if you could get more…)
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:14 am by Nina Scherer
Possibly some more Sugababes soon…

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:11 pm by FGras
1 dutch track! xD

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:18 pm by adavidm
Hi Nina,
Thanks for the update. Is there any likelihood that we will be able to purchase the entire contents of a Singstar disc on the SingStore? For example, my wife loves the idea of the Singstar Take That, but just wants all the tracks adding to the library, and doesn’t want to have to insert a separate disc every time.
cheers
adavidm
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:21 am by Nina Scherer
Hiya,
The store and discs are very separate entities and some songs which are on a disc we cannot release on the store. This is not neccessarily true for Take That but certainly discs in general, so the short answer would be unfortunately no, not for now.
Cheers,
Ninax
26
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:27 pm by JIM_13
Awesome update… I want to ask if there is any chance to add in the SingStore songs from Utada (even the ones from Kingdom Hearts series [ps2 games]) and more songs from Robbie Williams and Lady Gaga (Paparazzi and Love game) ?
Is there any chance for Greek Songs to make it in the game through DLC? There are rumors about a SingStar Greek version, but not a real confirmation. Thanks in advance
27
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:43 pm by Yakkity
Please, please PLEASE can you allow us to import the ‘catalogue’ of our Singstar discs? Not the songs, just the song names, artist + 10 second preview. If you pick a song which is on a different disc, then just a message to say “Insert Singstar Vol. X” would make the whole experience of browsing songs (because let’s face it, the lack of a “proper” import feature is incredibly irritating) a darn sight more pleasant.
I have 6 Singstar discs, and it such a pain to change discs just to see what’s on it – and even worse, I’ve ended up buying tracks from the SingStore that were on one of my other discs!
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:24 am by Nina Scherer
Hi –
see answer above #9
Thanks,
Nina

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:51 pm by AznKnight767
Are we ever going to see boybands like Backstreet Boys, NSync, and 98 Degrees? Or Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Mandy Moore on the female side?
Also when is Coldplay’s Viva La Vida ever going to make its way to the store? That’s the one I keep waiting for but never shows up.
29
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:52 pm by Swede_78
Great update as usual!
The thing I miss most on the singstore however is Michael Jackson. We have “Billie Jean” on singstar vol. 3 and “I want you back” with Jackson 5 on the singstore but other than that it’s kinda empty in that department.
Will more songs with Michael Jackson be added in the near future or will there be a “Singstar Michael Jackson” disc?
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:26 am by Nina Scherer
Maybe next month….???

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 7:53 pm by guitain
I noticed that Strawberry Swing(and the video) was on the front page, and then I instantly 5* this most excellent of posts! Some great tunes, you fellas have got going on!
31
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 8:25 pm by Evil_Dr_Z
Hiya, The misses said she would love a Singstar Musicals. I can’t think of anything worse personally, but she would make me buy it for her, so thats one guaranteed sale!
32
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 8:45 pm by Lostee48
I will get Strawberry Swing. But where is Viva La Vida? I have been waiting for this song for ages.
Any chance of any GLEE songs, or Paparazzi or Bad Romance from Lady Gaga.
More mainstream.
33
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 8:46 pm by Yodelking
Thanks for an Ace of Base tune, but what we really want is “All that she wants”, “Wheel of fortune” and “Beautiful morning”.
And while it, The Cardigans has a far better song: “Rise and Shine”.
34
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 9:11 pm by Bumblebee
Songs I’d like to see in SingStar in the future:
The ones I bought from the SingStore that have disappeared from my carousel despite the game saying they are downloaded, but can’t be deleted and are basically down some big mysterious dark SingStar hole somewhere, wasting my precious money.
In other words, the last update/patch was HORRIBLE and broke my SingStar and lost me songs that cost me money. PLEASE can we have a fix, please?
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:35 am by Nina Scherer
Hiya,
Thanks for reporting these issues as always. The team are aware about some people having encountered problems with the last patch and are working hard to fix these. Please bear with us while we try and get this done.
Cheers,
Nina

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 9:35 pm by mJ_mSv
Hi Nina, nice update with Snowpatrol!, atleast something I can sing!
, So pleace give us more of that and more Radiohead!
..
… Also my kids would love to sing more, as there not much for they in the store, so some kids song on Norwegian would be wery thankful, or even some english aswell!… Keep up the good work!
Also as noted over here I would like to see the Abba songs online, even if I could buy them cheaper on disc I would buy online instead, too much work swapping disc you understand!
37
Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 9:55 pm by Outofathens
great update,nina!
a question….will there be more celine dion and steps in the future? (i hope you can answer)
greetings mark

Posted on 9 November, 2009 at 10:00 pm by VincentVendetta
Nina, I’ve published my SingStar wishlist on my blog, with a whole lot of french songs (that you truly need). Oh, and great timing for “Strawberry Swing” and “Video Killed the Radio Star”.
Thanks a lot.

We want NEK on Singstar Store, “Laura no está”.

Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 12:34 am by SideshowN
Some great tracks on this update Nina. I will be purchasing:
* Ace of Base – Don’t Turn Around
* Buggles – Video Killed The Radio Star
* Coldplay – Strawberry Swing
* Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)
* Kaiser Chiefs – Never Miss A Beat
* Rick James – Super Freak
* The Cardigans – Erase / Rewind
I just have one question. I notice that on Singstar Vol 2(UK) there is Fratellis Chelsea Dagger. It would be great to see this song on the singstore as well as Flathead, Henrietta, and Creeping up The Backstairs. This band is perfect for the game! Thanks and keep up the great updates since the UMG deal!
41
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 3:44 am by SNUFCAT
lovin this update, will be getting keane and dead or alive. any chance of getting modern talking your my heart, your my soul and brother louie? and how about a bond theme tune song pack? preferably the roger moore movie songs
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:38 am by Nina Scherer
Modern talking is already available in the Starter Pack: Party-Kracher SongPack if you can’t wait for it to be released as a single
42
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 4:10 am by JacobBarton
Thanks for another great update, my hard drive will shrink this week! Can we get some Kylie Minogue, some of her new stuff in the past decade as it seems europe’s queen of pop has only 1 song on the SingStore…
Thanks Nina!
43
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 7:40 am by davevanveen
Hi,
I have a question. Is it possible to make some kind of playlist with songs you like? There are some songs on the disc i don’t like but they can’t be turned off. I hope this will be possible in a next patch/version.
Keep on singing!!
Dave

Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 8:01 am by MonsterRacer
Hi Nina,
Can you please tell if there are some christmas numbers due for the singstore in the next update?
Can you also ask to ad the following songs
Anouk – Three Days In A Row
Anouk – Woman
Some numbers of Kane (Dutch band) (not Keane)
Thanks Nina and have a nice day.
Greetings MonsterRacer
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:43 am by Nina Scherer
I think we might have something christmasy in store for you – only if you behave though
45
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:35 am by ROCKN1CHT
yeah new singstar tunes
you know what would be great though (i doubt if it’s possible but one can dream)
A MUSICAL DISC OR SOME SORT,
WITH SONGS FROM MOULIN ROUGE/HAIRSPRAY/GLEE AND SO ON
would probably make for the gayest singstar disc ever but you’d have my (and lots of peepz i know) money
46
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 11:43 am by Nina Scherer
Yeah, that would be FAB!

Hi Nina,
I will try
By the way, thanks for answering our question, I really appreciate.
Also the answer that you gave on the Michael Jackson songs
Mayby next month??? I can’t wait !!!!
Posted on 10 November, 2009 at 2:07 pm by Nina Scherer
I didn’t say Michael Jackson actually
– you’ll just have to wait and see…

[quote="Nina"]
see answer above #9[/quote]
Hi Nina,
Thanks but that doesn’t actually answer my question. I know that importing the songs themselves to HD is another licensing nightmare.
What I am asking for is to be able to do is this :
- Load SingStar
- Insert another singstar disc
- SingStar scans the disc and adds those tracks to the carousel
- Insert another singstar disc
- SingStar scans the disc and adds those tracks to the carousel
- Pick a song from the carousel
- If the song is not on the disc currently in my PS3 SingStar pops up a box saying “Please insert SingStar XXXX disc”
What I would like is for SingStar to keep a record of which songs I own, both on the HD (via SingStore) and on my SingStar discs.
When you have a singstar party, you have to basically sing through the interesting songs on the disc currently in the machine, changes discs, see whats on that one “Oh nothing I fancy”. Change disc again.
Honestly, try owning 6 SingStar discs and remembering which songs you have on all of them + downloaded ones.
Many thanks

Please tell me Wham’s “Last Christmas” will be up this year, hell, I’d even buy a songpack with 5 cover versions of the song! :p
