SingStar is a series of music video games developed by London Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. Gameplay in the SingStar games requires players to sing along to music in order to score points, using SingStar-specific USB microphones which ship with the game. Over 70 different SingStar SKUs have been released worldwide,^[1] featuring over 1,500 disc-based songs.^[2] There are usually 10-20 new English single tracks and one song pack on the SingStore every fortnight with usually double the amount of additions at Christmas.

Editions of SingStar for the PlayStation 3 support downloadable content in the form of additional songs for the game. Almost all songs are able to be purchased individually, although some songs can only be purchased in themed packs of five. Over 1600 songs have been made available as downloadable content, including a total of 569 English-language songs. Songs are made available worldwide where possible, although regional differences exist due to licensing and censorship restrictions.^[3] The success of the SingStore exceeded the expectations of the game's developers,^[4] with over 2.2 million songs purchased from the online service as of August 2008.^[5]
