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.

Here I am again with SingStore update No. 2 for this year. Time flies when you’re having fun. And this is what I have for you this week:

Some more Steps (yay!) with ‘It’s The Way You Make Me Feel’, ‘Photograph’ by Def Leppard for you rockers out there and a bit of Katy B for good measure.

Also released this week are the individual tracks from the Hi-NRG song pack including songs by Sinitta, Samantha Fox, Divine, Evelyn Thomas and Hazell Dean.

We’ll be putting up the next discounted ‘You Decide‘ song list in game this week so make sure you follow us on Twitter @SingStarHQ to find out about the time and day of release. You can read all about how to vote for the next one and find the full tracklist on our website.

Also, did you know that since the end of December, the entire SingStore catalogue has been available to browse and buy from on the PSN Store? Whereas before you could only get hold of song packs, wallpapers, avatars and the like, you can now purchase all your songs straight from there if you fancy. Pretty convenient if you ask me!

That’s it again for me today. See you soon.

Happy New Year from all of us here at SingStar and DanceStar Party!

I hope you all greeted the New Year in style (including much singing and dancing, of course!?) and are now ready for the first ever SingStore Update in 2012.

By the way, we released a little Christmas surprise on 21st December last year, outside of the ordinary update, so if you haven’t got the amazing Adele song pack yet, you can download it from the SingStore now. I’ve added the full tracklist below as it was missing from the last blog post, for obvious reasons.

So, this week, a good mix of artists and their work are making an appearance including Loick Essien, some more Spice Girls, Dean Martin for all you crooners out there and my personal favourite, Steps with ‘One For Sorrow’.

Well, you’re lucky. I was going to insert a video of me singing Christmas songs on SingStar into this blog post by way of wishing you a merry Christmas, but my boss thought it would detract from the message. Your ears (and windows) are saved! Merry Christmas though – I hope you have an excellent one whatever you’re getting up to.

On to the point, earlier this month I teased you with the announcement that the PlayStation Vita Rooms are coming to select cities in the UK, giving you the chance to get intimate with the portable gaming beast-machine that is PS Vita.

Since then we’ve put together a really, really sweet schedule of events for you to get involved with. Aside from fiddling with PS Vita and an awesome array of games to your heart’s content, we’re also throwing ace competitions, opportunities to meet developers, PlayStation Access community nights, the FIFA Interactive World Cup Live Qualifiers and live performances from artists such as Bashy into the mix.

Festive greetings, everybody in SingStar/DanceStar Party land!

Not sure where this year has gone but here we are with the last SingStore update of 2011. Don’t be sad though, because we’ll be back with more in January and there MIGHT even be a special surprise release for you before the year is out.

I’ll have another word with the big bearded man in the red and white coat. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, my friends! (Hint: Following us on @SingStarHQ is probably your best bet)

On to the update. As you can see below we only have one real Christmas song for you this year thanks to Coldplay but I am hoping that the seven Song Packs more than make up for that. Five of them are brand-spanking new and exclusive, and we put together two Essentials packs just for you, showcasing the best in the SingStore with ’80s Part 3′ and ‘The Best Of The Noughties,’ so you don’t have to go looking for it.

We’ve got new Elton John, Billy Idol, Take That 3 and Def Leppard Song Packs plus ‘Mosh It Up!’, a compilation of tracks you’ll love if you like it a bit heavier. Please be careful with the furniture when moshing inside. We don’t want injured SingStar players on our conscience!
