WP writes: "Country music is one of the biggest and most popular genres in America. Millions of people across the country have made acts like Johnny Cash, Big & Rich, and Jewel into household names. Some country artists have even been successful enough to become worldwide superstars. For all of the success the genre has had over the years, however, none of that has translated into appearances in the video game world. In fact, the only time that country music has made any appearance in a video game was three years ago with CMT Presents: Karaoke Revolution Country on the PS2. Finally, after that long drought, SCEE London has decided to bring country music to video games once again with SingStar Country, a game that's perfect for both PS2 and PS3 karaoke and country fans."

What a spectacular achievement, especially since you guys have only released 27 titles in 5 years.
Wow what a fanboyish comment go take them somewhere else please. This is great news for them and shows its a popular franchise.
HOLY CRAP!that's a lot!
Also R&C surpassed 25 million few weeks ago
GT is at around 53 million
I think Buzz! is also pretty big
nice to see Sony got some big franchise,they are really important
It's weird, you don't think much of these franchises, see nothing about their sales, and yet...
I remember playing it in Best Buy and I thought it was a very good game. Unfortunately, people in my house don't like to sing openly...no matter what so there was no need to buy it.
yeah two black dudes singing a Britney spears song will not work
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.
On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."
Aww it's just the import version of Magna Carta II I thought they would have brought it out here already :(.
GamesRadar writes: "There's an overwhelming number of user videos on SingStar's SingStore and trying to watch them all would be stupidly impractical. So it kind of makes sense that, when browsing the karaoke clips, most people head stright for the videos that have earned top billing with a five-star rating."
