It’s SingStore update week again. Are you excited? Well, I am a little bit because of the fabulous 80s Part 4 song pack. Yep, it’s got all of my faves in there but I am especially fond of Toto’s ‘Africa’ and of course, who could resist the lovely Jennifer Rush with ‘The Power Of Love’? One for Valentine’s Day, I reckon!
Otherwise, there’s more Kylie, Nightwish and ANOTHER one I won’t be able to stay away from: REO Speedwagon’s ‘Can’t Fight This Feeling’! Mixed bag this week with lots of great 80s stuff thrown in. I’m happy.
Right, I better get packing. Desk move ahead.
See you soon.
Nina xx

Hi Nina, Cher Lloyd ft Mike Posner for me this week. And maybe Eros Ramazotti. Any chance we’ll be getting more Cher Lloyd songs like Swagger Jagger?

6 “new” songs for an update? The least SingStar could have done is “padded” it a bit by adding songs from the previous songpacks (eg. MoshItUp, Billy Idol, Def Leppard, etc.).
What ever happened to those discounted Number Ones?
The Twitter team have said the tracks have been ready for days they’re just waiting for permission to put them up/make them available.
Disappointing update. Perhaps you guys need to hit some karaoke bars and see what songs people really like, and maybe try get some current songs that are being played to death on the radio like “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 (I didn’t like the song, but it’s stuck in my head!).
Posted on 6 February, 2012 at 4:51 pm by Nina Scherer
Patience – they are coming your way soon.
Regarding the discounted tracks: we are chasing the relevant department every day so you don’t have to wait any longer. Hoping this can be done this week…
Lots of love, your SingStar Twitter, blog, website etc. team

more songs that have already been released on disks can we please have some brand New songs more muse would be nice
Posted on 6 February, 2012 at 4:51 pm by Nina Scherer
We’re trying…

Posted on 6 February, 2012 at 5:18 pm by Graffin_UK
Thanks for the reply Nina.
I realise SingStar not only has to get the rights to the songs, but also to the music videos, but it would be nice to get some current hits.
Rock Band recently got songs like…
Cobra Starship (ft. Sabi) – You Make Me Feel
Gym Class Heroes (ft. Adam Levine) – Stereo Hearts
It would be awesome if SingStar could do the same!
And, what i’d really love to see is a SingStar Punk (with UK & US punk bands)… Bad Religion was on Sony for a while (hint, hint)
P or an Adults Only disc with uncensored songs would be equally as fun. You’ve made discs for kids, how about one for us adults… then maybe i’d get my favourite Dandy Warhols track (“Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth”) and maybe “The Bad Touch” by The Bloodhoung Gang (I love that video!).
Muse would be great too (Muscle Museum, New Born, Plug In Baby… anything from Muse would be appreciated!).
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 10:50 am by Nina Scherer
Pleasure! We put anything form the charts straight on our list every week but as you know, it can take a long while to actually get songs on the store (if at all)!
Mhh, I think if you take a closer look at the lyrics for the Dandy Warhols and Bloodhoud Gang, you’ll have your answer right there! Hint: We’re a 12+ game! Muse MIGHT be possible though one of these days…

Just Kylie Minogue’s songs put a smile on my face all day. Yeah!!!!

I wouldn’t mind Kylie’s “In My Arms” (since it has that Calvin Harris sound to it), and just for cheesiness, I really want Jason Donovan’s “Nothing Can Divide Us”. It’s weird that none of Kylie or Jason’s songs are available in Australia considering they’re both originally from there!
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 10:51 am by Nina Scherer
Yeah, unfortunately we are not allowed to release them over there, sorry.

Posted on 6 February, 2012 at 5:54 pm by Crefan
I’d like “In my arms” by Kylie too. And more artists like Nightwish (such as Within Temptation).

Omgomgomgomg Storytime!!
I was already rushing to the television when I remembered that I still have to wait till Wednesday. Huge thanks for that!
Will this mean that we might see other songs from Nightwish as well in the future, such as Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo, Amaranth, etc?
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 10:52 am by Nina Scherer
Possibly – I’ll kepp you posted!

@Nina After the update accounts are messed up and people have trouble with the store (not everyone).
I was hoping the changes within Sony would lead to more synergie and give us more current songs (within the Sony portofoly). I bet that will happen but it takes time I guess…
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 10:56 am by Nina Scherer
Hey – have you raised this on the forum? Hope the issues you’re having are not preventing you from playing???
I’m afraid it doesn’t matter which record company we deal with, it’s the same process for all of them.

Got some great 80′s songs…. hopefully some people will buy them…
looks like were getting a tonne of REO speedwagon recently
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 10:57 am by Nina Scherer
I love a bit of REO! Do you?

Guns N roses pls!!

Posted on 7 February, 2012 at 2:31 am by ausdrexler
YES to GnR!!!
Also some Bryan Adams, Journey, and Cold Chisel. I must say, the DEF LEPPARD songs pretty much made my day. I bought rockband purely for Def last year. I believe for singing Singstar is heaps better, so more DEF too!
Whilst I am at it, why is there no ‘jukebox’ feature? I own so many singstar tunes it would be nice to be able to use them as my party music. Select the tracks, let them play on the telly in an endless loop.
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 11:04 am by Nina Scherer
If you own a PSP (or a Vita soon
) you can set up a playlist for your SingStar party but you will still have to select and start the next track off yourself. No automatic looping, I’m afraid!

This is a good update Nina but there is a small problem……..I bought the 80′s disc a couple months ago thinking it would of took much longer to get some of those songs as DLC. There are still quite a few tracks on the 80′s disc to be released in the store and I assume most of them will arrive throughout the course of the year. I also agree with Graffin to have more punk in the game. I too am a huge fan of Bad Religion.
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 11:09 am by Nina Scherer
Hey – you had them first, though, right?
We try and leave a reasonable gap between disc release and store release. Some songs from the disc may also not be suitable for online so will not be released but we will release what we can.
Don’t forget that the disc was not available everywhere in the world, so we like to make sure that all fans have the opportunity to get hold of these great songs at some stage.

Good work getting Nightwish into the store. That was unexpected.

Any chance of a Michael Buble song pack some time in the near future and what about the Power of love by Huey Lewis and Bonnie Tylers hero.

Disappointing update again. Why put up songs that have already been released on disc ?
All the 80′s song pack 4 tracks are on the heavily advertised Back to The 80′s disc released by you late last year. I’m sure any 80′s fan will have bought that disc and will not be interested in this song pack 4.
It seems new unreleased tracks on SingStar are few and far between. Is this going to improve in 2012 ?
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 11:15 am by Nina Scherer
See my answer #16.

Everybody wants something different. Not everyone is going to be happy. It is a shame people are far more willing to be vocal if they are unhappy than if they are happy. Perhaps a quick look at the total number of songs that are available on singstar, might put this in perspective. Thanks for supporting a software title that is now very old (in software terms) and giving us all extended playability and value for money.
Keep up the good work.
P.s. my list of demands is blah blah blah etc etc
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 11:16 am by Nina Scherer
Thanks, I couldn’t have said it better myself! x

I don’t have many songs I wish to take from this list.
Any chance for some french songs soon?
Maybe Elisa Tovati & Tom Dice – Il nous faut?
in English mmh A Fine Frenzy – Almost lover?
Well I suppose it’s hard time to get every wishes of everyone, so good luck.

hey just popped in to see if there has been any improvement on singstar,unfortunately the answer is no its still PATHETIC.And dont go hitting it with its hard to get tracks and all that nonsense because it doesnt wash,you have your own music division sony for god sake.over and OUT.
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 11:23 am by Nina Scherer
You may think it is ‘pathetic’ and ‘nonsense’ but the simple answer is: it isn’t but since you have made your mind up, there is probably nothing I can say…
And yes, Sony is a big company including ‘a music division’ but sadly, that has not a lot to do with the ‘games division’ we’re part of.
25
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 8:01 am by CHAZ1873RFC
also in the original press notes for singstar it declared that there would be 2000 songs by launch,i would just like to ask the question why has it taken like 5 years to get any where near that figure.way to over hype your game sony
26
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 8:03 am by CHAZ1873RFC
i dont expect get an answer because you would rather answer the easy questions
27
Posted on 9 February, 2012 at 8:14 am by CHAZ1873RFC
one more thing on my singstar case it says singstar+singstore,nowi know i cant complain about the sing star part because i actually paid for and cant complain about the disc because it is excellent.but if i am not happy with the singstore part of it.i would like to know if im entitled to a refund because this aspect of the disc is not satisfactory.

i would just like to point out that this is nothing against you personally,i just think if theres that much negativety about singstar (its pretty evident bye the way)why are sony not bending over backwards to fix it.its called listening to your customers,but i think potentially its too late for sony to fix this.it will be very interesting to see the sales figures for ps4 if there is a ps4,at this rate sony are going out of business.i think sony have became arrogant and that will ultimately be their downfall.

Posted on 10 February, 2012 at 3:45 pm by CHAZ1873RFC
ps sorry if above comments were out of order,i just want to see an improvement is that too much to ask.
