The ever expanding world of SingStar

New artists announced for SingStar Vol.3 Party Edition and the SingStore.

Since its launch in 2004, SingStar has become one of the world’s most popular game titles and a phenomenal success for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, proving that everyone wants a chance to sing along to their favourite tune.

In four years and across both PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2, SingStar has sold more than 13 million discs in SCEE territories and has seen more than two million tracks downloaded from online SingStore services. And things are about to get even bigger with SCEE announcing exciting and new content for the ever expanding SingStar world at Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig.
