MTV/Harmonix announced this morning the total library for its Rock Band music platform has reached over 1,000 total songs.
Music games are serious business.
"When we launched Rock Band two years ago, we made a promise to create a music gaming experience that delivered on a weekly basis more songs and artists than ever imagined," said Alex Rigopulos, co-founder and CEO of Harmonix Music Systems. "We're extremely proud to pass this remarkable milestone of over 1,000 songs in Rock Band and will continue to innovate and bring more of the best music to Rock Band players all over the world."
"The library of great songs available to players on the Rock Band platform is vast and continues to grow," said Paul DeGooyer, Senior Vice President of Electronic Games and Music at MTV Networks Music Group. "This milestone reflects a tremendous amount of hard work from the world-class teams at Harmonix, MTV Games and at our artist, management, label and publishing partners."
Harmonix has also stated over 60 million songs have been downloaded to date, and with Rock Band Network coming shortly, you can expect that number to grow rapidly as bands will be allowed to create, upload, and sell their own songs.
Our good friends over at TeamXbox managed to
put together the entire list of 1000 songs for your viewing pleasure.
