Hi all,
Welcome to the penultimate SingStore update of 2009! Christmas is approaching as fast as Santa on a rocket-powered sleigh so, with this weeks update, you can already start preparing for your festive SingStar parties.
Download the crackin’ ‘Festive Fun 2’ SongPack which includes classics such as Doris Day version of ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’, ‘Step Into Christmas’ by Elton John and Nat King Cole with ‘A Cradle In Bethlehem’. If you’re after something a little less traditional, you could give ‘Please Come Back Home’ by Glasvegas or Sarah Connor’s ‘Christmas In Your Heart’ a try.
But because it’s not time for jingle bells and mince pies just yet, below is a full list of songs you can keep yourselves occupied with whilst waiting for Santa. Personally, I’ll be passing my SingStar time with a little bit of Cornershop, Placebo, James Morrisson and Mika this week.
I hope you’ll also be very excited about the Snow Patrol SongPack which is exclusive to the SingStore! Please note that the French Starter Pack: Hits français listed below will be released on 2/12.
Last but not least, I have just had some good news on the upcoming 4.30 patch from the dev team which I’d like to pass on:
‘The SingStar v4.30 update was submitted to our Format QA teams (FQA) last Friday. We delayed the submission by several days to put in some code that will allow us to unlock the save data in a future release. This was done because of your feedback. This morning I received conformation that the SingStar v4.30 has passed FQA for Europe. We are now waiting for the Format QA teams in America to pass SingStar v4.30, which we expect to happen this week. Additionally the final checks for the new server are being conducted this week. We are now firmly on track for release on the 1st December’.
Any questions on that, post them here and I’ll get the team to reply to them asap.
Remember that the next and final SingStore update this year will hit your PS3s in three weeks’ time (17/12) – but I promise you, the extra week will be well worth the wait!
Byeee,
Nina x

Hey Nina
I came here intending to post how I’d like to see more Australian songs in SingStore updates, but you absolutely FLOORED ME with this ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AWESOME UPDATE. Delta Goodrem, Nat Bassingthwaighte, Rogue Traders… WOW. This is the best birthday present (7 days early) I could’ve ever asked for.
Um, so yeah. I *was* going to say that I know that you listen to our feedback, and how to help boost Aussie/New Zealand content on the Store I was going to recommend an Aussie/NZ artists or two each week.
First recommendation is Ladyhawke, a New Zealand electropop artist. Songs from her 2008 debut album have been Top 10 hits in AUS + NZ, and have performed reasonably well in the UK. Particular songs that would be great for SingStar include “My Delirium” (#8 AUS, #9 NZ, #33 UK), “Paris Is Burning” and “Dusk Till Dawn”.
But yeah. WOW. YOU ARE SO AWESOME. WOW!
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:04 pm by Nina Scherer
I knew it was your birthday next week
Might be able to give you some Ladyhwke soon but no promises!

Good stuff, but please tell us we’re getting Last Christmas by Wham on the next update! :}
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:06 pm by Nina Scherer
Mhhh, afraid not. Maybe if you’re a good boy Santa will bring you some Wham! next year? I’ll have a word…

Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:13 pm by philipathens
Not so many for me, but since most of the people is happy, I have to be happy
Thank you Nina!
For me :
James Morrison – You Give Me Something
Delta Goodrem – Believe Again

I never knew Ladyhawke was from New Zealand. You learn something new everyday. Great song choices Tntnnbltn.
Was the Snow Patrol songpack the little teaser in the last SingStar newsletter, or can we expect a Snow Patrol disc too?
Ta!
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:14 pm by Nina Scherer
Hey – nope, that would have been for the SongPack!

Any news of the news on a 4.3 update???
>>Could it be a option to have a categoes menu like on singstore with the choices like pop rock r & b etc but also song decades like 50’s 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s,00’s.
>>Switch songs on a off (such as christmas songs for the rest of the year) and retain them on the hard-drive.
>>When highlighting a song would it be possible to say little bits of info like how many days since the song was last sang and how many times in total it’s been sang, top score on easy/normal/hard.
>>Have the leader boards split so you have 6 instead of 3. 3 long and 3 short leader boards.
>>Only 1 Identy on the leader board. Some of the board as full of just me or my partner and we forget how high are own top score is. Or could be listed at bottom of board on board screen.

Hi jchurley,
Thanks for all your questions…
I suggest you check out Mike and Dave’s blog from a few weeks ago when they were answering questions from the community (link below). I am sure you will find tons of useful information there and get some of your questions answered.

will there be ever michael jackson songs in the singstore?
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:17 pm by Nina Scherer
I don’t know as yet, sorry.

Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:22 pm by FunFontaine
I second the previous comment. Can we please have:-
Christmas Songs:
Wham! – Last Christmas
Band Aid – Do they know it’s Christmas?
Mariah Carey – All I want for Christmas
The Pogues – Fairytale of New York
Other Artists Songs wanted:
Wham / George Michael
Michael Jackson
More Elton John
Phil Collins
Bon Jovi
Madonna
Prince
Thank you for the service – its great fun. But please, comm’on guys, give us the artists we want!
11
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:25 pm by jchurchley
Bon Jovi would be amazing I’d 15quid if you only could over it as a huge deal with 15 of there tracks!
12
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:36 pm by BlaizeK
As others have Mentioned…any chance of some of the better mainstream Christmas songs?
Wham, Mariah and Band Aid (I’d even settle for Band Aid 20)?
Last Years Festive Pack was bad, but this years is seriously awful! Whoever picked these is off my Christmas Card list! lol
Negatives aside, Positive time: YAY @ SNOW PATROL PACK, I do have to thank you for this
Also a couple of pretty decent and unexpected songs on the store coming up
So 3 weeks til next update, I Assume this will be the one that will include the coming Sugababes song that was in the maybe pipeline a few weeks back (Fingers crossed its a good one from the pre-Amelle era)?!
Also how long til we get James Morrison & Nelly Furtado – Broken Strings? If at all that is!
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:44 pm by Nina Scherer
Afraid that would be a ‘no’ on the above Christmas songs. I agree, great choices and it’s not that they are not on our wishlist already – sadly, we couldn’t get them for this year. Maybe next time…
13
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:37 pm by jchurchley
Anyone still having trouble getting on the singstore been unable to get on for a few days?
14
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 4:42 pm by jchurchley
So gutted just realised that the next one’s not for 3 weeks
Not gota chance of getting Wham, Mariah and Band Aid song much before christmas so won’t get much time to sing them this year if they appear on the singstore.
15
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 5:11 pm by Tntnnbltn
Thanks, Nina. I know the whole no promises thing (pesky licensing
), but fingers crossed.
16
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 6:07 pm by BlaizeK
Hey Nina, thanks for the reply much appreciated
And yea I totally understand the issues with getting those…they are probably “Too mainstream” for their own good, making them a pain to liscense as most likely they’ll cost a ton more
(Greedy corporates!)
You know like since its 3 weeks away and we have to wait a week longer for the next update…any chance of some “Maybe” hints as to what we might get?
Yea I understand you maybe can’t do that since between now and then things might change, but I’ve been a goodboy this year so C’mon just one or two maybe artists?! lol
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 9:51 am by Nina Scherer
Erm, maybe…no. Ever heard of Secret Santa?
17
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 6:22 pm by OttoT
Wow, the Christmas songs are as bad as last year.
There where a lot of sugestions then, but it looks like non of the artists want to make money from the Singstar comunity.
Anyway, I won’t see any Christmas songs in my carousel the whole year.
18
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 6:29 pm by Alyndri
Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Delta’s new song!!!! Aaaaah I’m gonna wet myself! Thanks SingStar team!!!
19
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 6:50 pm by allybaf
Unbelievable!!!
5 french songs in the same update is a nice present especially after months of starving… Thank you Santa-Nina-Claus!!
Just wanted to notice that the recent french song updates are recent songs. A next update with 80′s or 90′s french songs and I start believing in Santa Claus. These french songs are hits but we are waiting for ancients songs that everybody knows and not only teen music… And I can give artist names if needed.
Please keep on updating Singstar this way and I promise that we won’t use any hands for the football world cup in South Africa!!!

Been a while since we had some danish acts on Singstore, anything coming up soon?
21
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 7:44 pm by Tntnnbltn
Nina,
The announcement posted by the Facebook Team includes Erasure – “Stop”. Is this meant to be on this list here?
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 9:53 am by Nina Scherer
Hiya,
Unfortunately we have had some issues with that video so this won’t be released for now.
Cheers,
Nina

Cool, a french pack… and I don’t know any single one of them! AWESOME!

Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 8:08 pm by Pure_Mind_Games

Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 9:55 am by Nina Scherer
Not for this year, sorry.

Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 8:34 pm by jelly_bean
The last update was better… But I’m hoping for great songs on December 17th… Nina, do you know if Broken Strings by James Morrison feat. Nelly Furtado will be available until the end of the year? Please I want to sing this song with my mom on Christmas day
25
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 8:38 pm by S-Cript

Hey Nina, Great songs!! I will be getting some. Is there a chance to have any GLEE songs on the store or any more Lady Gaga before christmas?
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 9:56 am by Nina Scherer
My lips are sealed.
27
Posted on 23 November, 2009 at 9:10 pm by sny83
Hey Nina,
Since SingStar Mecano is out in Spain now, how about giving the peeps outside Spain their (internationally) famous song “Hijo de la Luna” as a SingStore title at least? It would be a shame to restrict such a wonderful and widely known song to one country only… Heck, even having Loona’s cover of it would be a start.
Some good songs this week, by the way, here’s hoping we’ll have more goodness to look forward to three weeks from now.
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 10:03 am by Nina Scherer
I agree, massive hit! I’ll see what we can do…

Hi. I’m from Russia and I have a question… When the russian songs come to Singstar for PS3?
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 9:59 am by Nina Scherer
Hi Traitress,
There are no plans at the moment to release Russian language songs on the SingStore at this point in time. I’ll let you know if anything should change on that.
Thanks,
Nina

G’day Nina,
I would like to know if the Singstar Store will have any Idol songs like from American Idol Australian Idol etc? Because I know my wife would love to have them on her lists.
31
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 1:30 pm by Lord_Raid
Nothing interesting for me.
But I’ll be buying Singstar Mecano this week for sure and I’ll wait until December’s update to see if there are any suprises.
32
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 1:30 pm by Tntnnbltn
wiiman07,
There’s already some singles from artists like Damien Leith and Wes Carr on the store. Will they appease your wife’s interests for now?
33
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 2:30 pm by Bumblebee
SHAKEY! This, Elton, and perhaps Ida Maria for a laugh. Other than that, MEH, and needs more rock and indie. And no, I don’t count Snow Patrol because they are LIMP.
But, Wham’s Last Christmas not being there is a massive shame.
Personally I’m not buying any songs until the patch fixes my game. I’ve lost too much money down the drain on songs I can’t play already.
FINGERS CROSSED FOR THE PATCH.

Hi Nina!
Any plans on releasing some Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian songs on the store? There are almost 25 million Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian-speaking people in Europe and millions more in the US or Australia who would certainly enjoy singing some balcan tunes (Goran Bregovic, etc.).
Thank you for your reply.
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 4:25 pm by Nina Scherer
Hi Riddler1612,
Not at the moment, sorry but we can certainly do a little reseach into some artists/songs in the meantime. Thanks for your suggestion.
Thanks,
Nina

i would love to have Jason Derulo – Watcha Say , that would make a great male/female duet
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 4:26 pm by Nina Scherer
Lips…still…sealed!
36
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 4:02 pm by NUFCRULE
sorry ment ”hope they are in the next update”
we really need a edit comment option
37
Posted on 24 November, 2009 at 5:13 pm by philipathens
Nina, I know you dont have the time for this, but besides the answers to our questions I would love to see some comments from you about us(Our comments and behaviour) . I assume we will all be REALLY excited after those lips unseal in 3 weeks
And I d love to see Nina as a person and not as our Singstar info provider and helper

Support for this game in America still is making me sick. I want to love Sing Star but it has stopped loving me.
Please Sing Star Europe, nag, berate and stay on Sing Star America’s Case until they give us better support and wireless mics!!
Still miss you Nina!
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 11:18 am by Nina Scherer
SingStar still loves you! Keep on hanging in there…!!!
39
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 7:17 am by Tntnnbltn
Nina,
After your responses to some questions, I think you should definitely try to get The Go-Go’s – “Our Lips Are Sealed” added to the store.
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 11:19 am by Nina Scherer

Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 11:51 am by amplifiedAnt
Was about to say nothing for me yet again… but then I spotted the Placebo song
Please, please, please keep that sort of thing coming!
41
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 4:29 pm by Se7enthSign
I miss you too, Nina!!
As an American, is there any way I can get some of the EU songs on my PS3? Will they work if I make an EU account?
42
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 10:33 pm by SideshowN
Being from the United States this update is terrible due to unknown artist. Nina is totally hinting at the Go Go’s version of Our Lips Are Sealed. Since Rock Band and Band Hero got this song it makes sense that it will pop up on the Singstore very soon.
43
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 10:41 pm by SideshowN
Oh and another thing. Karaoke Revolution that came out in the United States got Katey Perry “I kissed a Girl”. This song should of been released on a Singstar disc or the store a long time ago. Put this song in there immediately!
44
Posted on 25 November, 2009 at 11:37 pm by sprokino
Great, for the next update I have a request:
ANASTACIA RECQUEST
I Would really love some more song from Anastacia! She has so many good nr 1 hits, but only one song in Singstore. There where two more songs released on singstar games to PS2, Left Outside Alone & Sick N Tired why are they not available on Singstore?. What about a Anastacia pack or two? Its Really time for uploading more of her song to the store.
Would love some more of her songs like:
Cowboys and Kisses
Not That Kind
Why’d You Lie To Me
You’ll Never Be Alone
One Day In Your Life
Sick N Tired
Left Outside Alone
Heavy On My Heart
Welcome To My Truth
Pieces of A Dream
I Can Feel You
Everything Burns ft. Ben Moody
Posted on 26 November, 2009 at 4:47 pm by Nina Scherer
Unfortunately, a song being released on a disc doesn’t automatically mean we can release it on the store.
45
Posted on 26 November, 2009 at 12:51 pm by Deadpool_NL
nina can you please but James Morrison – Wonderful World into the singstore
much thanks
46
Posted on 26 November, 2009 at 2:26 pm by WildCherryCandy

So please tell me that we gonna have it soon ^^

Posted on 26 November, 2009 at 5:15 pm by Nina Scherer
Hi there,
We might be able to get this Eminem track on the store in the future.
Thanks,
NIna
