Introduction

Welcome to Singstar XMB! Singstar is the Sony exclusive karaoke game that many people overlooked when it came out in 2008. Those people that bought it were greeted with a grind-heavy and near impossible trophy list with trophies like “Grand Celebrity” and “They Really Love Me.” Trying to make Singstar more popular, Sony decided to release a Singstar app with easier trophies and available to anyone in EU on the XMB. I will explain how to get it very soon. You can play Singstar XMB with a disc, or downloaded songs that were purchased from the SingStore. There have been rumors that this will even be ported to the new PS4, so look out for another SingStar trophy list!

If you have any questions about this game please check out the FAQs at the bottom of the guide here.


Walkthrough

Step 0: Get the Peripherals
The game is unplayable without these, so plan ahead to buy the peripherals listed within the roadmap. It is way more cost efficient than the previous one.

Kyo28 has found that Amazon is really good to get cheap microphones. They have great deals with them, since a pair can be less than 7 Dollars/Euros.

Step 1: Easy Trophies
When starting up the game, change your system date and play a song to get Holiday Special, Anniversary Gift and Sing me a love song out of the way. See the trophy description for more details.

Do horrible on a song (under 500 points) and get Low Rider.

Upload a song onto the community to get Concert Debut. - Unobtainable

Go to the community and view 50 pieces of media and rate 10 of them for two more trophies (Channel surfer and Stars in my eyes) - both unobtainable.

Step 2: Skill Trophies
You are simply going for Be number 1, Superstar Quality, Nailed it, and Midas touch.

This version of Singstar has no tricks up its sleeve. These are really basic if you follow my guide. Be sure to do them solo.

Also, to save yourself a lot of trouble, get That’s a rap out of the way alone. Rapping is a broken mess in this game, and can’t be relied on for any trophy.

Step 3: The Rest of the Platinum
The majority of this game, you will be playing in duet mode, multiplayer mode, or leaving your controller on in multiplayer mode. Simply play until you get Gold Rush and Good Vibrations then you are good to use your turbo controller. Be sure to pick up any miscellaneous trophies relating to these modes that are mentioned in the guide.

After your 400th song, if you completed the steps above, the platinum will pop. Congratulations!

**Since there are no turbo controllers for the PS4 at the moment, you must be active to earn this trophy on the PS4**

Step 4: Clean Up
The only trophy that might be tricky if you use a turbo a lot is Rule the stage. If you happen to be unfortunate and have not earned this before you've completed 400 songs, then play the game normally until it pops. Make sure that you have good songs to sing and this step won’t take that long.

  • Collect every SingStar™ trophy

    UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

    Congrats on your new platinum trophy! It is much easier than the previous SingStar, though rare, shiny one nonetheless!

  • Perform 40 songs

    Simply perform 40 songs in any mode. The songs can be normal or short in length. Don’t worry about this trophy. You will surely get this while going for the platinum.

  • Perform 100 songs

    Simply perform 100 songs in any mode. Like Don’t stop the music this will likely come naturally on your journey to your platinum trophy. Don’t be too concerned with this trophy.

  • Perform 400 songs

    Simply perform 400 songs in any mode.

    This will take a lot of grinding, and it can easily be achieved in 2 different ways:
    1)Enjoying Singstar, and playing the game normally. This will take the longest, and can be the most fun.
    2) Since this will most likely be the last trophy until your platinum, it wouldn’t hurt to use a turbo controller on the same songs. Simply turbo “X”, and make sure you get at least 500 points to reach the minimum requirement for the song to register. This can be achieved by placing your microphone near the TV speakers, or by playing the song over and over on an iPod.

    If you have a keyboard, “Beep” by the Pussycat Dolls can be achieved simply by pressing G or A#.

    If you don't have a keyboard, place your mics close to the speakers, open up the website below, press G, and simply go to bed while this note plays.

  • Perform 15 songs in one game session

    This is a very easy trophy. Complete 15 songs without quitting the game. You can do this on normal songs or short songs if you want it faster.

  • Perform with a friend 30 times

    Play in any of the offline multiplayer modes 30 times. The songs can be normal or short. You will get this by trying to earn the platinum.

  • Perform with a friend 90 times

    Play in any of the offline multiplayer modes 90 times. The songs can be normal or short. You will most likely get this by trying to earn the platinum.

  • BFF

     

    Perform with a friend 300 times

    You need two mics for this trophy.

    This is one of the longest trophies in the game. It will be one of the last trophies on your quest for your platinum. It can be achieved in any of the offline modes on normal or short songs. Like Musical Marathon this can be achieved by using a turbo controller a song. Make sure both players score at least 500 points. Alternatively, you can do it by yourself, or host a SingStar party to simply grind out this gold trophy.

  • Earn the "SingStar" score ranking in 10 normal length performances

    See Singstar Quality

  • Earn the "SingStar" score ranking in 20 normal length performances

    This is much easier than it sounds. To earn the rank of “Singstar” on a song, you must earn over 9000 points. Unlike the disc based version, this can be achieved on easy AND on the same song.
    “Beep” by the Pussycat Dolls can be done with no effort by humming or playing a G or an A#. Simply repeat this process 20 times, and you’ll have a new gold trophy.

    Here is a list of easy songs taken from Tiger’s Guide:

    The Pussycat Dolls - Beep (Will)
    Manfred Mann - Do Wah Diddy (Backing)
    Radiohead - Creep (Many unscrew the top of the mic and hum into the sponge)
    Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
    Queen - Fat Bottomed Girls (Backing)
    One Republic - Stop and Stare (Guitar)
    Outkast - Hey Ya! (Sing or Dance)

    Avril Lavigne - I’m With You
    Junior Senior - Move Your Feet (Junior)
    The Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car)
    Jamelia - Superstar
    Leona Lewis – Run
      Also, be sure to check out my friend Raz169's Song guide if you really are having trouble with the songs. It is really detailed, and the notes for a keyboard is listed. Also, audios for the songs (Singstar Rating) are on his profile. All Credits for this go to Raz619!

    5 song on hard 5* using keyboard
  • Complete 5 rap performances

    Complete 5 Rap performances in any mode, with any score, and in any song length. Make sure you get at least a score of 500 on the songs. Rapping in Singstar is horribly broken, so choose a song that’s easy to perform or one that you are good at. Singstar Dance has plenty of rap songs. To tell if s one is rap, a little icon will flash on the screen when selecting the song.

  • Complete 5 performances of a duet song with another player

    You need two microphones for this. Duet mode allows players to work cooperatively with one final score at the end. Like the other singing trophies, it can be any song length. You must have a score of at least 500 per player.

  • Gain the number 1 position in 10 different score charts

    You will earn this while going for Singstar Quality. You only need a score of 6000 to gain the number one position on the charts.

  • Perform vibrato for the first time

    This trophy pops at the end of the song. See Good Vibrations

  • Perform vibrato for a total of 300 seconds

    Vibrato is like a trill. This song can be easily achieved by playing songs with long notes. You will know when you are using vibrato when you see a light, wavy line go through your notes.

  • Get the highest ranking on 10 lines in a row

    See Nailed it.

  • Get the highest ranking on every line in a Normal length performance

    This trophy is like “Keep it Cool” on the disc based SingStar. You need a “Cool” or “Awesome” rating on every line of a song. The message depends on your disc, so don't worry if you aren't getting one of them. It is best to play a song you are familiar with, and make sure it doesn’t have any lines that pop up really fast. I earned this trophy from “Do Wah Diddy” by Manfred Mann, and it is available from the Singstore.

    See Singstar Quality for a list of easy songs.

  • Play 5 random songs selected by the shuffle button

    The shuffle button is used if you want to “mix things up” and play different songs. Simply use it and complete songs 5 times and the trophy is yours. Not that hard.

  • Fill every Golden Note in a normal length performance

    This trophy is like “Your Golden Moment” for the disc based Singstar. Golden notes are the (you guessed it) the golden notes that are on screen. They give you bonus points if they are hit since they are more difficult. The best song for this is “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, as the bonus notes are easy to hit. You have to completely fill the bar for it to count.
    See Singstar Quality for a list of easy songs.

  • Complete 500 Golden Notes

    This will come naturally. Simply fill 500 of the Golden Notes. Don’t worry about this trophy, as it will come naturally towards the platinum. You need to be active for this trophy as the mics won’t pick up the full length of the note if not sung.

  • Accumulate 500 seconds of perfect pitch

    See Rule the stage.

  • Accumulate 3000 seconds of perfect pitch

    See Rule the stage.

  • Accumulate 10000 seconds of perfect pitch

    This isn’t as bad as it sounds. This trophy can be achieved by filling the note bars in songs for 10,000 seconds. This can be achieved by a turbo controller if you don’t have it by the time you are done with all your other trophies.

  • Sing in harmony with a friend during a Duet

    You need two people and mics for this trophy. Some duet songs have harmonic parts in them, and when this occurs, harmony appears in a large bubble on the screen. Fill both notes in a harmony, and the trophy is yours.

    According to bobthecrazydog people have been having a bit of trouble with this one, as it has a "hidden" requirement. You must get a cool rating on both harmonic parts, and the trophy will pop after the line is complete.

    A tested and confirmed method suggested by skroq:

    Quote:

    Uff got the perfect harmony trophy! I did it by myself. What i did was:

    1. Bought the horse song lol. It's short so I will use it for 400 songs with my turbo controller.

    2. Launched: VIRTUAL KEYBOARD - ORGAN placed red mic.

    3. When the 20second of the song came I sang to the blue mic deep OOOOOOOOooooo and pressed simultaneously B key on the virtual keyboard every 1 second so it's continous.

    4. Bling!

    you don't need 2 people or a keyboard.
    you can just set both mics to the same track. harmony parts will still show up. sing into both mics, hit the notes, and get cool ratings on all lines of the harmony part. you'll get the trophy.


    i got it on Does Your Mother Know by ABBA and had both mics on backing vocals. got it without even trying while i was grinding for the 400 song trophy.
  • Upload a piece of media

    (Online)

    UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

    This is really easy. After you complete a song, go to the playback option, press triangle, and select the upload option. Once the upload is completed, the trophy will pop.

    Unfortunately, this trophy is glitched for some people, and uploading one piece of media will not unlock the trophy. If this glitch occurs to you, simply delete and upload media until it pops. It'll unlock in a few tries.

  • Save 20 pieces of media

    After you complete a song, you have the option of listening to yourself singing. Select this, press triangle, and select save. Do this 20 times. If you have a camera, simply go crazy with snapshots.

  • View 50 pieces of media

    (Online)

    UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

    Go to the community part of Singstar, and go to the community gallery. View all the snapshots, videos, and audios you see until you pop this trophy. For videos and audio's, they simply have to load. Be sure to rate 10 of these for Stars in my eyes.

    If you earned this trophy in another region and you get a new region's copy, this will automatically pop for you.

  • Rate 10 pieces of media

    (Online)

    UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

    See Channel surfer.

    If you earned this trophy in another region and you get a new region's copy, this will automatically pop for you.

 

Secret trophies

  • Get the lowest score rank on any song

    Get a score of less than 500 to earn this trophy. It is done by simply leaving your mic on.

    This has been annoying for some to unlock. Some people got it my reaching the requirements, while others needed to get a score higher than 500 (or even 1500) for it to unlock. Some trophies unlock slowly, and simply keep singing with decent scores after you meet the requirements to unlock this trophy.

  • Play on Christmas Day

    Change your date in the XMB under settings and Date and Time.
    Holiday Special- December 25th
    Anniversary Gift- May 21st
    Sing me a love song - February 14th

    Originally Posted by coyz- "The St. Valentine's Day trophy has to be a duet, the other date specific one's are fine in solo"

    Load up Singstar with each of these dates set, and all these trophies should pop without a problem after you complete a song.

    For these trophies, you must use a PS3 SingStar Disc. Several members on the site have tried with PS2 discs, but they never seemed to unlock for them. DLC songs from the SingStore work as well.

  • Play on SingStar's original launch date

    See Holiday Special.

  • Perform a duet song on St. Valentine's Day

    See Holiday Special.
