Nina’s having a well-deserved rest after singing and dancing away with the rest of our team and lots of you too last week at Gamescom, so you’ve got me this week.
I’ve got a good week though (in my opinion) and some amazing songs. First and foremost is the all-conquering Rihanna with her smash Rude Boy. This is a huge tune for those Summer SingStar parties and has a great video, bringing a carnival vibe to SingStar.
One of the sounds of the festivals this year is definitely Katy B (from the stable one of my favourite radio stations – Rinse FM) and we’re bringing a second Katy B track to SingStar, Louder is from her debut album Katy on a Mission.
Diving back in time a little, and to Sparks. If you like a singing challenge (and we know some of you do) then this is the song for you this week. This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us is fast, falsetto, utterly bonkers, genre-defying pop. If anyone can even come close to 10000 points on this I will be very impressed. Can’t wait to see the tribute videos for this on SingStar.com.
Lots of other big tracks from big hitters below… and some one hitters too… Babylon Zoo where are you now?
If you’ve missed a couple of updates because you’ve been on holiday the ‘new’ section in the SingStore is now ordered by SingStar release date – easy to look back and see the recent store updates.
Enjoy the summer hits, and come follow us on @SingStarHQ.

Hey Chris, here’s an idea.
How about moving SingStar Viewer (the application) from the [Games] section in the XMB to the new [TV/Video Services] one?
I think this makes sense (it’s more of a video app as it is a game) and people would use it way more (as it stands it’s buried on the bottom of my games list).
How about it?

Makes sense …. be nice if you could choose where to put items yourself wouldn’t it? I’m probably not supposed to suggest stuff like that!

Yes I know that but the PSN play program advertised SF3 being available on the 23rd. Clearly it was a mistake by SCEE but I just wanted to check.

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 4:37 pm by pnov81
It looks like the original article was corrected, it is coming on the 24th then.

Yayy more Toto
Do you have any idea who I could contact about the song list of the new Finnish Singstar? There are so many awesome Finnish songs throughout the history which I would like to sing instead of those crappy rap-songs that they play on the radio these days. I absolutely disgust Finnish rap, and I want to make sure that they know it when they’re choosing the songs for the next one.

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 5:40 pm by Chris Bruce
Its a Rihanna song for SingStar…. you know SingStar…? Its a popular RPG FPS MMO with a singing theme. More can be discovered here: http://www.singstar.com

Can we expect Afrikaans language DLC at some point for Singstar Afrikaanse Treffers?

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 5:52 pm by mrfight67
Would’ve prefered a more known katy b track like Katy On A Mission, Lights On, or Easy Please Me, and a more recent Rihanna single (anything from Loud) but it’s a step in the right direction.
Also i noticed these songs on the dancestar track list, will any be arriving on the SingStore anytime soon?
Example – Kickstarts
Jay Sean featuring Lil Wayne – Down
Lady Gaga – Born This Way
LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem
Nicole Scherzinger – Don’t Hold Your Breath
Tiesto vs Diplo ft Busta – C’Mon (Catch Them By Surprise)
Usher ft. Pitbull – DJ Got Us Falling In Love
Usher ft. will.i.am – OMG
Other requests are On the Floor by J-Lo and Give Me Everything by Pitbull.
Love SingStar, but until there’s more recent songs, i struggle to spend a lot of time on it nowadays. There’s only a certain amount of times I can sing Frisky and Pass Out after all

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 5:54 pm by mrfight67
Oh and can DanceStar songs be imported into SingStar? That would be awesome. And vice versa with some dance songs on singstar.
Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 6:09 pm by Chris Bruce
Sorry mrfight67, DanceStar Party and SingStar are incompatible. You can’t use songs from one on the other.

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 6:10 pm by irishbangra
Great update guys!
Rude Boy is going to be a great addition!
for future pickings….
I’d love any song from Jason Mraz (I’m Yours being the obvious choice!)
Also
Do you think we’ll be seeing Olly Murs or Michael Bublé anytime soon?
25
Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 6:15 pm by mrfight67
Thanks Chris, thought that might be the case, oh well ill probably still buy it anyway

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 6:40 pm by Sparxy86
Do you know anything about a patch for singstar resolving the trophy problems? I’m stuck, sung over 300 songs but still no trophy!
Definitely download McFly ft. Taio Cruz

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 6:43 pm by Edi316
Nice update
Hopefully we’ll get more songs from Hurts in future updates (would love to see “Wonderful Life” and “Stay” on the store)

Serious Question ; Can you connect your ps2 microphones (From Singstar) to the PS3?
Posted on 24 August, 2011 at 5:30 pm by Chris Bruce
Wired and wireless microphones both work on both PS2 and PS3.

Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 9:00 pm by OGSamir
@Kanudo19 When you pay for a game you buy it to PLAY it not for answers
32
Posted on 23 August, 2011 at 10:05 pm by Edi316
@OGSamir
Yes, you can use your PS2 microphones on the PS3

Hi there,
I’ve got a big problem with August 10th’s update : I wanted to buy Franz Ferdinand’s track “No you girls” ; you mentioned that this single won’t be released in SCEA territories. I live in France, a SCEE territory, not a SCEA one and yet it isn’t available in the store…How come is that ??????
Otherwise, very nice update ; for me : graham coxon, babylon zoo, blur (!!!!!) and maybe atomic kitten & rihanna – although I would have preferred Disturbia & Only girl, stronger tracks…maybe next time… Keep up the good work !!!!
Have a nice day

I won’t be buying any of these songs as at the moment there’s a SERIOUS bug with SingStar; the DL14 H403 error. I can buy songs but can’t download them! I spent £20 on songs last update and I’ve not been able to get a single one of them. So I’ve wasted my money until this is fixed. I’m not alone either so buyers, beware!
See this thread on the forum for more info:
http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/SingStar/DL14-H403-err or-cannot-download-purchased-songs/td-p/13430849/
Is there any word on this bug? Because it is mighty annoying to spend money then not get what you paid for.

Hmmm, the link was broken after I posted it, I will try again but if it doesn’t work, copy and paste into browser and remove the erroneous “space” in the word “error”:

Posted on 24 August, 2011 at 11:59 am by ObroniGuy
I am encouraged by another Toto song, but it’s not “Africa”, and that is a tragedy…..how about we do something about that ?
I am very happy with Babylon Zoo’s “Spaceman” – how about more tacky early 1990s nightclub stuff like that….back when I was fresh out of school & wore chambray shirts & stonewashed jeans !
Perhaps I’ll get Blur & Atomic Kitten as well, but Australia not having the rights to Kylie’s stuff is totally whacked – I suppose her people want to release a disc here, and go back to the archaic format of buying discs rather than getting one disc in order to access the store & then download all the other stuff you want.
Daft !
39
Posted on 24 August, 2011 at 12:20 pm by ObroniGuy
BTW – Am I going to have to go to that archaic practice of having to buy a disc for “Back To The 80s”, or will I be able to just download the content ?
(Not like that one that has the Michael Jackson & Feagal Sharkey song on it, or the original Singstar release that Blink 182′s “All The Small Things” & Junior Senior’s “Move Your Feet” on it (because everything else I want has been downloaded), but I refuse to buy a full disc for one or two songs.
That, & some of the dreadful Singstore updates we’ve seen before are the two things that annoy me about Singstar !!!

Hey, could you reply to my message (#14) or at least say if you haven’t got a clue about it.
41
Posted on 24 August, 2011 at 2:28 pm by Bumblebee
Thanks Chris – I actually (foolishly?) bought another 2 songs this morning from the update so I’m 22 songs down now! But I’ll keep myself and my lady occupied with the 200+ songs I’ve got already and look forward to the day when I get my pack of 22 downloaded!
Also might be worth telling the guy above me that PS2 mics ARE compatible with PS3 SingStar… although wireless is the way forward!

Posted on 24 August, 2011 at 3:06 pm by Claudio-Bertozzi
Hi,
Today I bought Atomic Kitten, Katy B, McFly ft Taio Cruz and Rihanna.
Rihanna was my 999th Singstar song! Hopefully the next update will contain my 1000th song
Looking forward to it!

hi i am still getting this error code h403 and it takes ages to log into the singstar store
will the maintenance tomorrow fix this??

Posted on 25 August, 2011 at 2:41 am by YellowMegaMan
Can you guys please make it easier to associate downloaded Singstar songs with different PS3s?
I recently bought a replacement PS3 after my original one died, so naturally I’m not allowed to re-download the songs I already paid for. Uh… why not?
I’ve heard I can call Sony Support to transfer ownership to my new PS3, but there should be a better way than that. I should be able to it through my PS3.
46
Posted on 25 August, 2011 at 10:50 am by Arion87
Since there’s a few Toto songs now on the Singstore, can you please add Toto – Africa to them??
